I really hate to do this as it is very well sourced and gives plenty of detail for a box set, but am automatically failing this nomination as its maintenance tag was in place before the review began. Per WP:WIAGA, this cannot pass for GA with such tags in place. I also question the stability of this article given how lots of back-and-forth reverting took place after it was nominated for GA. Please address the NFCC issue before renominating to avoid copyright problems.

I personally think this quickfail is too harsh. The NFCC template was fixed quickly and I don't think it was such a big deal. A quickfail would have been more appropriate if the maintenence tag pointed out something like close-copyediting, poor prose, notability issue etc – i.e issues that question whether the article is "good" or not? One of the few back-and-forth reversions were caused by a disagreement b/w two editors about the usage of a review, and this was settled in the talk page of the article. The other reversion made by IndianBio of some change made by Mr Stephen was discussed on their respective talk pages. Thus I believe this quickfail is hasty and should not have been made. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 17:31, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
