I'm nominating this for GA reassessment because I've noticed there is a huge gap in covering Araya's career between 1984-2006, which is considered his band's most fruitful years. I also see the lead doesn't summarize the entire content, in addition to having some problems with the reference formatting. The last two are easily fixable, but the biography research should be done from scratch.--Retrohead (talk) 10:35, 27 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Delist: that huge gap is emblematic of a failure to meet the Broadness criterion. The only assessment of his career is that Hit Parader ranking in the lede (which isn't anywhere in the body); there are no reviews of his music or his performances, and the bulk of the post-2006 material is about his two surgeries rather than his career as an artist. Does he just write lyrics, or the music as well? (The infobox says "songwriter" rather the lyricist, but there's a section only about Lyrics.) I'm also troubled about listing his endorsements, which seems like an ad to me; is this really appropriate material? (Also, the names and birthdates of his children; I thought we didn't do that.)
