GA Reassessment

As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles' Project quality task force, all old good articles are being re-reviewed to ensure that they meet current good article criteria (as detailed at WP:WIAGA. I have determined that this article needs some upkeep to maintain its status:

The plot is waaay too long. For instance, we've got a blow-by-blow of the precredits sequence.
The lead doesn't talk about the production or marketing of the film, thus does not summarize the entire article.
Large portions of the "Impact" section are unreferenced.
I'm concerned about possible misquoting of sources, especially in the Impact section. For example, the article reads: "In Quantum of Solace, the director, Marc Forster, decided to pay homage to the gold body paint death scene by having another female character, MI6 operative Strawberry Fields, dead on a bed nude in a similar pose as Jill Masterson's, but instead of being covered in gold paint, her entire body was daubed in crude oil. Her cause of death was given as drowning in crude oil with her lungs completely filled with the sticky substance, rather than dying from skin suffocation. Forster wanted the scene to show that oil has replaced gold as the most precious substance." The source, however, only says "Forster uses a classic Bond icon to signal this shift in perception. Instead of a dead Shirley Eaton coated from head to toe in gold, we get Gemma Atherton stretched naked on a bed, doused in oil. "Oil is the new gold," he says."[1]
There are several dead links that should be replaced.

I am putting the article on hold for a week pending improvements to the above. Please appraise me of questions or progress in this space. Thanks, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 18:07, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As no meaningful action has been taken on addressing the above, I am delisting the article. You may renominate the article any time at WP:GAN, but I strongly recommend fixing the above. If you have any questions, you can drop a line on my talk page; I don't watch these reviews, so comments left here won't be followed up.
