The review may take a day or two to prepare. This article also has over a dozen citation requests throughout the article which need to be taken care of promptly. Let me know when the cite requests have been addressed. JohnWickTwo (talk) 01:29, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ill be happy to take part in this. I have been watching this article for months and I thought several times about GANing it, but I'm not particularly good in GA domain. L293D (☎ • ✎) 01:43, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, I'm no reviewer, but I might be inclined to fail this GA. The whole prelude section is not verifiable enough - large paragraphs of text are wholly unsourced. There also are six {{citation needed}}s throughout the article in addition to on {{page needed}} that need attention. L293D (☎ • ✎) 02:07, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I noted the lack of citations throughout the article as well. I suspect that this is going to take quite a bit of time to address so had contacted the nominator to confirm whether they had the time/resources to deal with this and whether it should be quick-failed so it could be worked on at their leisure. Unfortunately, by the time I finished writing my comments, the article had been claimed for review. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 02:09, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to both editors for their comments. Let's give the nominating editor a day or two for the edits to see where the article stands at that time. JohnWickTwo (talk) 03:47, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article subject to quick close at request of nominating editor[edit]

This article has been quick closed at the request of the nominating editor who has contacted me on my Talk page over night. The contributing editor has apparently made a good faith effort to withdraw the article after being contacted by another editor concerning other unaddressed issues with the article.
