Result: Delist None of the issues addressed. Concerns raised include the lead not summarising the article, broadness concerns and prose. AIRcorn (talk) 07:51, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Intro is too short.
Not all viewpoints are given. Only one review is cited for This Side, and no critical reception is given for Why Should The Fire Die?
The prose is very short and choppy, with nearly all one-sentence paragraphs.
Very little is stated on their musical style besides vague things like "this album was more indie rock than bluegrass".

Overall, the article is extremely short and feels incomplete. Compare it to, say, McBride & the Ride or Rodney Atkins, both of which are fairly short GAs on artists with similar-length careers, but still contain much more info.

Agree with everything above. Broadness is probable the biggest issue. AIRcorn (talk) 12:38, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article is nicely sourced and organized but.... the lead does not summarize the article. that is the biggest problem that I see. At the same time, the text could be tuned up and rounded out a bit with a few more sources and viewpoints (maybe from Google books?). I'd be happy to help with the upgrade process, since I've worked on this article before. PS the link to the Chris Thile interview should be removed as it occurred after the band broke up and is about CT and there is almost no content about NC. That EL belongs in CT's Wiki article IMO. -- — Keithbob • Talk • 19:11, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
