Hi Govvy, I see that you haven't made very many edits to this article and that not much has changed in the article recently. Could you please reaffirm that you intend to try to bring the article up to GA standard, before I begin? It looks to me like this may be a fail, and if this was a drive-by nomination I'm less inclined to give really substantial feedback, though of course I'll still give the reasons for a fail if so. -- asilvering ( talk) 00:04, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Alright, it's been a week, so here's the quick version. There are several unaddressed maintenance tags, including unsourced statements dating back to 2018 and a permanent dead link. This is in itself grounds for a quick fail. Additionally, it contains large amounts of trivia under the "memorials" and "media" headings, that is not usefully contextualized or narrativized. Some of the cited sources are not reliable. Is Walter Tull, 1888–1918, Officer, Footballer a reliable source? If so, why isn't it cited more often, since it's apparently an entire book-length biography on him? If not, why is it mentioned in the article? This is a long way from meeting the GA criteria, most evidently #1 and #2. -- asilvering ( talk) 04:15, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
