I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.

Disambiguations: none found.

Linkrot: two found, one fixed and one tagged.[1] Jezhotwells (talk) 04:42, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Full review will be posted within 48 hours. Jezhotwells (talk) 04:42, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. —Hahc 21 05:01, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
"the album was recorded between the United States and Mexico." This could be phrased better.

"Jason Birchmeier from Allmusic named it "an eagerly awaited album with a phenomenal lead single." - "named it"?

"After spending the majority of his career signed to Sony, and later, Sony BMG, Arjona signed a long-term recording deal with Warner Music Latina." is a copyvio of the source.

"On an interview" - "on" an interview?

"Quinto Piso" is an analytic song which theme is life and its defects." "It has been considered a prologue with autobiographical tendencies" 2Its lyrics are an analogism between the absence and that beloved person" Very poor prose.

Overall, the prose is poor and not fit for GA status.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
ref #2 This is an ungrammatical translation and shouldn't be presented as a quote unless you have a RS for the translation from Spanish.

References appear RS, spot-checks show that statements are supported, references should indicate the language of the source.

One dead link as noted above.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Reasonable coverage
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
NPOV
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
Stable
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
File:5to piso.jpg lacks a fair use rationale; File:Arjona sin ti sin mi.jpg has a disputed fair use rationale;
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
THe prose is very poor. Please get it copy-edited and take it to WP:PR before renominating. Not listed. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:27, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, it's been a while since I've done anything with GA's, but is it policy now to speedy fail an article? The issues seem like ones that can be fixed within a week. Can you put this on hold instead? Ryan Vesey Review me! 00:18, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This wasn't a quickfail, a number of issues were found, including very poor prose throughout. It is the responsibility of the nominator to ensure the article is fit for review before nomination. When these have been addressed please consider re-nomination, but I suggest a peer review first. Jezhotwells (talk) 15:17, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
