Failed GA

I'm sorry, but I have to fail this is as a GA.

The lead section is the article, in terms of lead. You should have an intro (summary), and then the text in sections. See WP:LEAD.
You use many quotations but there's no citations or references
The layout and formatting is unconventional
There's no synopsis of the reviews the record has received, very little text of any substance

Please have a look at some of the album GAs and FAs to see the kind of standard an article needs to reach. Cheers. --kingboyk 18:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merging

Don't merge. Merging will make Under the Iron Sea very long and some information will be lost. This documents an event (currently on hiatus) and will be growing gradually--Fluence 22:30, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Don't merge. Albums and tours have different characteristics. If a tour is worth describing, it is worth describing in a separate article. 192.102.82.253 15:37, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. It contains a lot of unverified information, together with personal opinion and comment. As an article, it is also very poorly written. The English is very non-standard and unecyclopaedic. Are Keane really a notable enough band to have an article devoted to almost every single thing they have ever done on Wikipedia? Richyard 21:05, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes--Fluence 21:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many potential Keane fans dont know who Keane is :) jorge taveras

Article is too long

This article needs to be revised and delete a lot of useless information

information on songs

Doesn't really have information on the songs itself, just that if they've been released as a single or not

Individual song articles

Some die-hard fan seems to have gone through and written a series of articles about most of the individual songs on this album. Unfortunately his knowledge of music theory is lacking at best (there is no such thing as a key of Ebmaj7 or C6). Would suggest that all his articles were either corrected or deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reagar (talk • contribs) 02:06, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm re-reviewing this article.

Start:

Y A reasonably complete infobox
Y A lead section giving an overview of the album
Y A track listing
Y Reference to at least primary personnel by name (must specify performers on the current album; a band navbox is insufficient)
Y Categorisation at least by artist and year

C:

Y All the start class criteria
Y A reasonably complete infobox, including cover art
Y At least one section of prose (in addition to the lead section)
Y A track listing containing track lengths and authors for all songs
Y A "personnel" section listing performers, including guest musicians.

B:

Y All the C class criteria
Y A completed infobox, including cover art and most technical details
Y A full list of personnel, including technical personnel and guest musicians
N No obvious issues with sourcing, including the use of blatantly improper sources.
Y No significant issues exist to hamper readability, although it may not rigorously follow WP:MOS
