GA nomination

[edit]

The article has failed please expand in references, provide images, and expand the article after that it probably would pass, cheers. Lakers 04:40, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There generally isn't much info about Fuller (he didn't have an article until a month ago), also no free images seem to exist:[1], and the article is tremendously well sourced. WP:WIAGA allows for shorter articles (criteria 3), the important question is whether any important information is left out. As the criteria states: "it addresses all major aspects of the topic" which this article does (not every article can be 20+kbs it's wrong to assume they even can be). I feel your review was hasty and I'm going to re-list it. However, I'll wait a day or two for your comments. Quadzilla99 07:17, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize for my mistake, good point it has passed now that you have clarified whatever was contested however if this was to go to FA I don't think it would make it unless you were aiming for GA only, regards. Lakers 07:20, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I didn't see any books on there. I'll keep an eye out for one and maybe I can get it through my library. The Houston Chronicle's online archives were helpful somewhat, but like I said there wasn't much more than "Fuller recorded two sacks" or "Fuller is likely to make the Pro Bowl" kind of mentions in the articles.

I only found two, [2] and [3] Lakers 08:01, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here's one source I got for a little expansion:=5431&state=GJ Quadzilla99 00:31, 29 April 2007 (UTC) — Used that one in the article, might still be some useful info in there. Quadzilla99 13:33, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
