Starting review. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:33, 2 June 2009 (UTC) Quick fail criteria assessment[reply]

The article completely lacks reliable sources – see Wikipedia:Verifiability.
Here is a problem. The first three refrences look OK, but the remaining fifty-nine are to blog sites which cannot be regarded as WP:RS
The topic is treated in an obviously non-neutral way – see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.
There are cleanup banners that are obviously still valid, including cleanup, wikify, NPOV, unreferenced or large numbers of fact, clarifyme, or similar tags.
The article is or has been the subject of ongoing or recent, unresolved edit wars.
The article specifically concerns a rapidly unfolding current event with a definite endpoint.

I am going to quickfail this as we cannot rely on just the first three references. Some of the points raised in the first review have been addressed but there is really is no point in proceeeding without WP:RS for the bulk of the article. Please address this and bring back to WP:GAN. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:40, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any blog sites used. Oikotimes and ESCToday are Eurovision news websites with editorial review boards. What gave you the impression otherwise? Also, the previous reviewer did not realize the purpose of the page and withdrew, thus his suggestions did not coincide with the purpose of the page and were not made.
