Steven Caulker[edit]

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I feel it is a fairly well written article but would like to know how I could improve it to be applicable to Featured Article status.

  • I do not think this is likely to reach FA class. The requirements for an FA (WP:WIAFA) demands a comprehensive article on the subject. As a biography, an article should supply personal information on the subject, shedding light on his character and background. There is nothing here that tells us what Caulker is like as a person. Even so, this article is basically a list of appearances this footballer has achieved. There is no analysis of his playing style, no secondary sources that praise or criticise the subject, basically nothing. The sources used are the Spurs website (which should be treated as a biased primary source—their own player) and simply match reports to substantiate the subject's appearance. Where are the secondary sources on the person? This is the biggest failing of the article. Jappalang (talk) 03:00, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
