It's always good to see some work being done on a Dog breed article... you could say I'm somewhat fond of doing that myself. I'll have a read through of the article now against the criteria and post points of comment as I go. Miyagawa (talk) 18:54, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The lead seems quite short, and even before reading the article I can tell that there's nothing from the Temperament, Hunting with Bassets, Health, Civic events or Popular culture sections; and only a brief mention of the history with regards to the name.
It's missing a lot of inline citations. A massive amount really. There should be at least one a paragraph, if not more (if the information came from multiple sources). Particularly affected is the History section, which has no citations at all and Popular culture which for a sizable section has only one cite.
There's an external link in civic events which should be a citation.
The formatting for the existing citations needs to be the same.
I would argue that there's no need for the American Kennel Club link at the bottom.
There is no mention of the other types of Bassets, or the difference between them and the more typical and common Basset Hound.
It might be worthwhile bringing some of the images over to the left. At the moment with that big run of continue images, it shoves all the edit tabs down on my browser to a single line in the middle of history, and switching them to the left could help break up the page more.

I'm going to put it on hold for a week to see if these issues can be addressed. Miyagawa (talk) 20:03, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article has now been on hold for a week, and unfortunately still doesn't meet the GA criteria. As it's not still in the middle of a major work, I'm going to fail the article on this occasion. Miyagawa (talk) 18:52, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
