Failed "good article" nomination

[edit]

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of February 6, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Fail, needs a lot more organizing, it has a basic chronology, but in long narrative sections, needs assorted headings and subheadings for clarity, Article seems to be a collection of statistics with little narrative in between. Why should the reader "care" abut this individual?
2. Factually accurate?: Pass - as far at the article goes, well sourced.
3. Broad in coverage?: Fail, quite sparse compared to other sports figures biographies - is factually accurate and well references as far as it goes, but is choppy, appears to have gaps: When did he retire, why? What else should we know about this individual?
4. Neutral point of view?: Pass
5. Article stability? Pass
6. Images?: Fail, insufficient images


When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far. Montanabw(talk) 01:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, when the review was first posted, it said that the article passed all aspects, but the result was a fail. It's been fixed since then. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:28, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    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):

Specific concerns

I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
