I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.

Disambiguations: two found and fixed.[1] Jezhotwells (talk) 17:17, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Linkrot:one (ref #8[2]) found and tagged. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:25, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   at P.S. 109. I presume this means Public School 109. Abbreviations such as this are not permitted by the MoS.

   Why is [Gebrauchsgraphik] in square brackets?

   The lead does not fully summarize the article, it also introduces information not found in the article, e.g. his death and burial. Please see WP:LEAD. The cuase of death and place of burila will of course also need citing.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   ref #8[3] is dead and not available at the Internet Archive

   refs #10 & '12 are bare urls, need to be formatted using the appropriate cite template for consistency.

   Why do refs #1 & '2 have a "+" sign after the page numbers?

   Assume good faith for off-line sources.

   refs #5 & #11 need page numbers for consistency.

   “from that moment on, Rand devoured books by the leading philosophers on art, including Roger Fry, Alfred North Whitehead, and John Dewey." Quotations need cites.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Needs details of death and burial as per note above

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. 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):

   Fair use rationales and captions OK,

   File:Paul rand miscellany.jpg is not discussed in the article so it shouldn't be there.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   On hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:02, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
