Dr. Swag Lord: Dr.Swag Lord, Ph.d (talk · contribs) Hi, I'll review this. 01:07, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not) |

Main concern 1: The short length of the article trigged some alarm bells for me. After doing a very basic search, I realized there are plenty of sources available the nominator could have used to broaden the article. Sources not used include: [1] [2][3][4][5][6]. As of now, the article is clearly not broad enough for GA standards.
Main concern 2: I'm seeing way too many questionable sources used. This is a BLP which requires high-quality sources. Questionable sources include:
- Ballot Access News: while authored by Richard Winger, you can not use a WP:SPS in a BLP
- A Tweet by some random person
- northernexpress.com: Using an opinion article for facts
- Vote Smart (cited 4 times): Per prior consensus, Vote Smart is fine for things like the subject's voting record or whatnot, but this article is not using the source in such a way
- Independent Political Report (cited 2 times): This source was once part of the project's large scale clean-up efforts since it was deemed unreliable [7]
Other concerns:
- " however, he was the first independent candidate to ever appear on a Colorado gubernatorial ballot." --that's WP:OR using a primary source
- The infobox notes he has two children which is not sourced in the article
- The infobox notes he is the President of the Golden Triangle Museum District which is not sourced in the article
All-in-all, I believe this article qualifies for a WP:QF since it's a long way from meeting multiple GA criteria. Good luck on improving the article in the future! Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 01:29, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- On a post-review note, while it appears this review was done in haste, I actually had this article saved on my computer for sometime, debating if I should review it or not. Rest assured, I spent the necessary amount of time examining it. Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 01:32, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
