The Keys to the White House

 * Nominator(s): Kurzon (talk) 15:23, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

This article is about a prediction system for US presidential elections. It has been peer-reviewed and no major problems were found. So I am now submitting it for FA consideration. Kurzon (talk) 15:23, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Image review: File:VladimirKeilis-Borok.jpg I checked the source but it does not appear to be available under a free license (t &#183; c)  buidhe  17:52, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I asked UCLA for a free image of Keilis-Borok and they gave me it. I told them to contact the Commons OTRS to confirm the release, they haven't done it yet. Kurzon (talk) 17:58, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Right, either that needs to be confirmed or removed before the article is promoted. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  17:59, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Kurzon, I am very interested in American politics so I am familiar with this theory. After reviewing the article, I do not think it is ready for FAC yet. Some of my concerns are a very short lede, not enough sources to verify the information (as 12/20 of the sources are Lichtman, who is the creator of the theory), and an extremely short criticism section (that can be expanded as "Reception" to include positive reviews of the theory). I suggest that more sources are referenced and more information is added. I also suggest that this article is nominated for good article status before it is brought back to FAC. Good Article criteria is easier to achieve and considered a "step" towards Featured Article status. Please post below or on my talk page if you have any questions.
