This article has waited quite a while for a review so I'll see what I can do. The article is relatively short but this is not necessarily a problem. After a first look, I didn't see an reason for a quickfail so I'll proceed with a full review. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:03, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
    WP:EARWIG did not detect any copyright violations and I did not spot any close paraphrases during the spotcheck
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    The article is rather short and could be expanded but the coverage is sufficient.
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    The image of O'Connor is in public domain and tagged as such.
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
    The article contains one image of O'Connor.
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:

It looks well-sourced overall but the following sentence lacks an inline citation: In 1884, O'Connor became an operarius at St. Francis Xavier Church in Manhattan, New York City.[a]
