It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

The Lede is too short. There is a tag on this page to this effect.
Infobox is comprehensive.
Tenure section is excessively overlinked. See WP:MOSLINK

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

Reference 2 is a dead link
All links to Time Magazine are dead links. Run the Internet Archive Bot over this page.
There are seven citation needed tags on the page.
There are no references for the Electoral History tables.
Committee assignment section has a^{[citation needed]} tag outstanding since 2019
every resident to enrol in a health plan and have taxpayers help pick up the tab for all the welfare low- and middle-income residents. In June 2008, state legislators voted for the first phase of that program mandating health care coverage and Corzine signed it into law in July.[citation needed]
Corzine was one of several United States Governors and following in this paragraph is overlinked.
MF Global section is too big; (MF Global and their collapse have their own article.)(Corzine has a complete section in this article.) This section is too large, reduce it to three paragraphs. Current paragraph 3 is far too large and contains material that belongs on the MF Global page.

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):

It is meet and fitting that Corzine spent $62 million on his senate election campaign. This election has its own page and this section may be effectively trimmed back to three paragraphs. Too much detail, see WP:PROSELINE.

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:

The section during Corzine's tenure as Governor and Presidents Clinton and Obama is excessively overlinked.
Consideration was given to the scandal section, referencing Carla Katz. Neutral point of view and verifiability were examined and confirmed.

It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:

Page is considered basically stable.

It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

On hold for one week. --Whiteguru (talk) 06:33, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Whiteguru, I agree that the article would need significant work to maintain GA status. Suggest delisting it since it's been a week. (t · c) buidhe 07:02, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
