The review may take a day or two to prepare. This article also has over a dozen citation requests throughout the article which need to be taken care of promptly. Let me know when the cite requests have been addressed. JohnWickTwo (talk) 01:29, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ill be happy to take part in this. I have been watching this article for months and I thought several times about GANing it, but I'm not particularly good in GA domain. L293D (☎ • ✎) 01:43, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, I'm no reviewer, but I might be inclined to fail this GA. The whole prelude section is not verifiable enough - large paragraphs of text are wholly unsourced. There also are six {{citation needed}}s throughout the article in addition to on {{page needed}} that need attention. L293D (☎ • ✎) 02:07, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I noted the lack of citations throughout the article as well. I suspect that this is going to take quite a bit of time to address so had contacted the nominator to confirm whether they had the time/resources to deal with this and whether it should be quick-failed so it could be worked on at their leisure. Unfortunately, by the time I finished writing my comments, the article had been claimed for review. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 02:09, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to both editors for their comments. Let's give the nominating editor a day or two for the edits to see where the article stands at that time. JohnWickTwo (talk) 03:47, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article subject to quick close at request of nominating editor

This article has been quick closed at the request of the nominating editor who has contacted me on my Talk page over night. The contributing editor has apparently made a good faith effort to withdraw the article after being contacted by another editor concerning other unaddressed issues with the article.
