Thriller 25

 * • [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Good_article_reassessment/Thriller_25/1&action=watch Watch article reassessment page] • GAN review not found
 * Result: delisted Concerns have beenm expressed about lack of information, poor sourcing and poor grammar These do not appear to have been addressed, so delisting would appear to be appropriate. When these concerns have been addressed a renomination for GA status may be appropriate, although a peer review might be best first. Jezhotwells (talk) 06:03, 8 January 2012 (UTC).

I didn't plan on nominating this article to be delisted, but there are just too many issues with this article. I was planning on doing a nice little update to the article (as guidelines were different back in 2008 when it originally became a GA), but then I noticed that the article is lacking a lot of information, and overall contains a large amount of unsourced information. Furthermore – I don't want to sound bias – but as a reissue of the best selling album of all time, the article is lacking a huge amount of content.

Let's break it down with the GA criteria:

 :
 * (a) ; and
 * (b).

The articles contains many grammar issues, and does not comply with the current manual of style.

:
 * (a) ;
 * (b) ; and
 * (c).

References are lacking and there is a certain amount of original research/fancraft.

:
 * (a) ; and
 * (b).

There is a huge amount of content that could be added to the article that hasn't. It is focused on the topic, but could definitely be expanded upon.

. . :
 * (a) ; and
 * (b).

Images are not correctly tagged (probably an issue of being outdated). 

For the reasons above, I am nominating the article for a reassessment. Your comments and thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you!

 * Comment - If the article can be expanded before the reassessment is closed, then I have no problem with keeping this GA. Sources are my biggest concern. Fansites and social networking sites are being used and the citation formatting is inconsistent and needs clean-up. The Charts and certifications table needs updating to today's standards and per WP:ACCESS. Prose issues lie throughout, such as "The success of Thriller put Jackson into the dominating position of pop music, becoming an international pop-cultural icon." This is a very poor structure and gives the impression that the success is the pop icon, not Jackson. — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  16:53, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

 * How about those actively editing the article now and the projects? Jezhotwells (talk) 13:22, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * This particular article hasn't been touched in quite a long time, so I guess I could just ask some people who edit his articles in general to comment here? — Status  &#x7B;<sup style="margin-left:0.37ex;">talk <sub style="margin-left:-3ex;">contribs  17:09, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
