Quick fail criteria assessment

1. The article completely lacks reliable sources – see Wikipedia:Verifiability.

   • 

2. The topic is treated in an obviously non-neutral way – see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.

   • 

3. There are cleanup banners that are obviously still valid, including cleanup, wikify, NPOV, unreferenced or large numbers of fact, clarifyme, or similar tags.

   • 

4. The article is or has been the subject of ongoing or recent, unresolved edit wars.

   • 

5. The article specifically concerns a rapidly unfolding current event with a definite endpoint.

   • 

No problems found when checking against quick fail criteria, on to substantive review. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:30, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose):

   • The article is reasonably well written

   b (MoS):

   • Would suggest a suitable infobox is added, and that the background section be expanded to give some account of his life. A section of reception / criticism of his films would be good as well. Any reliable sources in the additional sources section should eb converted to inline citations tied to the statements they support;

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references):

   • ref #12 [1] is a dead link; includes cameos by prominent Singapore film-makers such as Juan Foo, Tan Pin Pin, Sun Koh, Kristin Saw and Lionel Chok. only two of these are supported by ref #3 [2]; ref #6 [3] supports the fact that the film won 2nd place in the Digital Short Film - Open Category, not overall at the fiesta ss implied; ref #10 [4] is OK, but makes no connection with the film; neither does ref #15 [5] which as a press release is a WP:primary source.

   b (citations to reliable sources):

   • ref #4 [6] appears to be a blog, not a reliable source and doesn't support the fact that Tan made the video, just that he used to be the drummer; ref #8 [7] is not a reliable source, see the statement on the website: Youth.SG does not control all the Content posted via the website and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of its Content.; ref #9 [8] does not appear to meet the reliable source standards; ref #11 [9] is a self-published source, not reliable; ref #13 [10] is a blog, not RS;

   c (OR):

   • The connection made between Tan's film and the availability of sports pitches appears to be original research

3. It is broad in its scope.

   a (major aspects):

   • No details about birth, upbringing, eduction - the sort of details that should be included in a biography.

   b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   • Insufficient content to determine

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):

   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   • Not applicable no images used.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   • Overall, this article is a long way away from good article standards so I will not be listing it at this time. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:16, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
