GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
The lead does not adequately summarise the article. Please read WP:LEAD.

Prose is reasonable.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
References appear OK, but few mention him in more than passing as an author.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
As a biography, this is not at all broad in its coverage, the article is primarily about projects that Foing has been involved in. As a BLP it is still stub class.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
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):
Non free images must not be used in the infobox or lead for BLPs, as per WP:Fair use#Images
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

I am failing this nomination at the present time as I feel that the article is not sufficiently broad in its coverage. The points about the lead and the non-free image also need to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 15:30, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
