This was nominated in July 2020, but the nominator left Wikipedia in October 2020. Meanwhile, in November about half of the article (by byte count) was removed to a separate article Premiership of John Major according to consensus of a split discussion on the article's talk page, leaving a very stubby short paragraph on a crucial period in Major's career with a big and unquestionably valid "expand section" banner that has remained in place for the two months since. There has also been a fair amount of back-and-forth editing in December and January. I conclude that this article has not stayed stable (especially not in its nominated form), can likely not be expected to be brought into shape by its nominator, meets WP:GAFAIL #3 "It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid", and plausibly also meets #1 and #4 due to its instability. So, sadly, I think this is a quick (or not-so-quick) fail. No prejudice against renominating if some editor wants to take it into hand, fill out the premiership section into a proper and more complete summary-style summary of the other article, and take responsibility for a new nomination. — David Eppstein ( talk) 05:50, 26 January 2021 (UTC) reply
