Moved to draft

[edit]

Substantial obituaries in The Times, the Telegraph and El Pais are sufficient to pass GNG. Article should be a stub, not a draft.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Cagliost (talkcontribs)

Agreed. @Htanaungg:, can you please explain why this needed to be moved to draft seven minutes after creation by User:Cagliost? And what in the stub requires better sourcing? 2A01:4C8:A1:F08E:69AA:AD25:80F8:B9C5 (talk) 12:02, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If you really think this article is notable enough and having good reliable references, you may submit the same draft for review. Htanaungg (talk) 12:36, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Of course they can. They already had when you posted that reply. Now please answer my question: what in the stub required better sourcing? 2A01:4C8:A1:F08E:69AA:AD25:80F8:B9C5 (talk) 14:01, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Linehan once used a fake Facebook account to monitor students. Probably not worth mentioning. [1] [2] cagliost (talk) 16:27, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about this, but this is a quick fail, as it is a long way from meeting the GA criteria. The most important one in this case is number 3: "It addresses the main aspects of the topic". This article is very brief, and does not discuss Linehan's scholarship except to name books and positions held. Someone who doesn't already know who Linehan was and what his research accomplished won't learn much from this page - just that he was a historian of Spain at Cambridge. What was his scholarship? How did it evolve over time? Who has he inspired in turn? A Good Article doesn't need detailed coverage of each of his books, but should give significantly more information about his research than this.

Here are two historian GAs, for comparison: William H. Prescott, Marc Bloch. A Good Article doesn't need to be nearly this long, and these may not fully meet current GA criteria as they were both passed some time ago, but I link them here to give an idea of the kinds of information that this article could contain, and does not.

Good luck with this article, and feel free to ask if you have any questions.
