I am quickfailing this article due to a lack of comprehensiveness and poor references that cannot be fixed within 7 days. This article was created yesterday by a new user, I suggest the user read over the good article criteria before nominating any other articles.

POV and other tags
[edit]This article has fundamental problems. Nearly every sentence is strongly biased in wording and content in favor of the subject. Combine that with terrible sourcing in violation of our policies on both verifiability and original research, and I propose we stubify the article and start anew. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 19:09, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
- Totally agree with you. I'm removing a vast majority of the content that is unsourced, derived from unreliable sources, or based on trivial coverage. The article will be in a much shorter format once I'm done. Hopefully that will be enough to resolve your tags. Edge3 (talk) 21:00, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
