Review[edit]

  1. Well-written:
  2. Criteria Notes Result
    (a) (prose) There's a limited use of jargon, for example: "where he played in one pre-season friendly away at York City." Also the term 'cap' - vernacular terms should be explained (or wikilinked) first use. Pass Pass
    (b) (MoS) Nothing to change. Pass Pass
  3. Verifiable with no original research:
  4. Criteria Notes Result
    (a) (references) Overall, the breadth of refs is strong. However, the first ref is a dead link and couldn't get the second one to open - which IS an issue since most of article rests on those. There's plenty of RS on topic (Found articles at CTV and The Province with a quick search), especially since subject was released this month, so this needs to be addressed On hold On hold
    (b) (citations to reliable sources) Arguably the most controversial statement in the article - about subject's appreciation for Thierry Henry - is from the broken link. Easily fixed. Pass Pass
    (c) (original research) Meets criteria. Pass Pass
  5. Broad in its coverage:
  6. Criteria Notes Result
    (a) (major aspects) Subject was released from his contract, this should be in article. Meets criteria. On hold On hold
    (b) (focused) Done well. Pass Pass
  7. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
  8. Notes Result
    Meets criteria. Pass Pass
  9. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
  10. Notes Result
    Changes seem to be all on improving/updating. Pass Pass
  11. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
  12. Criteria Notes Result
    (a) (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales) Picture appears in order. Pass Pass
    (b) (appropriate use with suitable captions) Meets criteria. Pass Pass

Result[edit]

Result Notes
Pass Pass Fix refs & vernacular.

Discussion[edit]

Fix the holds and article passes - though would like to see links to football terms, or in-narrative description on first use (something as simple as "friendly game" clarifies things.) Otherwise, really good job. EBY (talk) 18:44, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure of the nominator was aware the review had begun/was on hold, so I've just notified them. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:34, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • A little bit redundant, now, Struway: I've completed the tasks I saw above. I should note that Haber has not been released by Stevenage, he has been transfer-listed - and that information was already in the article. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 12:39, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • You may not be aware that WP:GAN/I requires the reviewer to notify the nominator when they put the review on hold. I imagine the reviewer forgot, so I did it for them. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:45, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • Firstly, cheers EBY for reviewing the article. I see Lukeno94 has already made the neccessary changes (thanks), although I have just made a couple of other very small changes. And thank you Struway for the heads up, I hadn't noticed it had been placed on hold, so much appreciated for letting me know. Cheers. SBFCEdit (talk) 14:31, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's NOT a requirement, Struway, though I appreciate you passing the word (though not the BITEy-ness). Thanks, Luke +, for all the good edits. The release was premature - it's a possible transfer? Ah. In any event, yes - the article passes criteria. EBY (talk) 17:22, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
