Starting. Please allow me some time for the nomination process. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 12:31, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Four things I've observed in my review:

Some small, simple grammar problems; namely overuse of commas where parenthesis and hyphens could suffice. This has since been fixed.
Quotations are perhaps used too much. Consider cutting down on them and converting them to a summary of what the person said.
I don't know that the cover is explicitly necessary; I think that it does not tell readers very much - at least not so much that it's worth ruining the idea of a purely free use article.
"Lady Gaga: Between the covers" [1] appears to be a dead link. A couple other links with simple problems can be observed by using the external links checker included on this page. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 22:39, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. Starting work on them. :) —Indian:BIO · ^{[ ChitChat ]} 16:06, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi New Age Retro Hippie, I have finished the review comments. Quotes are reduced and rephrased. I'm not sure how beneficial removing the image will be. The visual identification is necessary and one of the primary reasons for WP:NFCC. It is the same with album covers. They are included just that. Thoughts? —Indian:BIO · ^{[ ChitChat ]} 15:46, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was on the NYT best-seller list, I see, but was there any coverage as to the amount printed versus the amount sold? Stacks of this book were being used as a stage for mugs at a booth at the CNE, and Dollarama in Canada was selling it for $3 earlier this year. Has there been any coverage of the overstock in reliable sources? -- Zanimum (talk) 18:56, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lemme look into it and get back. —Indian:BIO · ^{[ ChitChat ]} 13:19, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Once Zanimum's questions are answered, I will be comfortable to pass this article. Good job. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 03:48, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I got nothing. :( Nada. Four different searches [2], [3], [4], [5] and all I got were publishing websites and their %discounts as sales, shipment free, Nielsen soundscan total of her last albums and scan pdf documents. All I got was that the book was up for an auction by Tony Bennett. Is that even worth adding? —Indian:BIO · ^{[ ChitChat ]} 09:44, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

IB, do you know if this was the first time RIchardson and LG worked together? It might be worth mentioning, and also that they would later work on other projects. Just a thought! --Another Believer _(Talk) 05:43, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm that might be worth adding. —Indian:BIO · ^{[ ChitChat ]} 07:07, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok so I have added more content including a lawsuit regarding the images, check it please @New Age Retro Hippie:? —Indian:BIO · ^{[ ChitChat ]} 17:21, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

After providing a copyedit I'm fine with the article being promoted to GA. Note in the future though to be careful that you don't take non-general terms from articles (for example the "around the clock" usage). - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 17:40, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
