For New Articles Only

If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.

• Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject?
  • Yes, there are two articles.
• How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
  • So far it is just two sources which is a good start!
• Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles?
  • No, not yet.
• Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?

Overall impressions

Guiding questions:

• Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
  • Yes, this is a great start to the article.
• What are the strengths of the content added?
  • All of the information is very strong.
• How can the content added be improved?
  • I would definitely say that organization is the biggest thing that needs to be improved simply to make the article more coherent. Other than that, I would say that a few more sources and then some more information will definitely help this article to become stronger.
