Will be happy to review this JAGUAR 19:39, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Initial comments

Per WP:LEADCITE, citations are usually discouraged from the lead unless it's citing controversial information. It wouldn't hurt to relocate a few of them to the body
Various unsourced paragraphs in the Election process section
"Candidates who do not belong to a registered party can use an "independent" label, or no label at all." - not sourced
Most of the Great Britain-based is unsourced
There's a citation needed tag in the Government finance section
Is there any point in the Endorsements section?
"(In the event, Michelle Gildernew lost her seat, reducing the number of Sinn Féin MPs to 4.)" - I don't see why this is a separate sentence in brackets
"As it turned out, the results were even more favourable" - weasel words
The entire Outcome section is unsourced. A tag has been there since September
The Seats changing hands and MPs who lost their seats subsection has no paragraphs, sources and looks like cruft.

Close - not listed

I'm sorry, but due to the lack of sources and prose organisation throughout I'm left with no choice but to quick-fail this. I really hate doing this but it doesn't meet the GA criteria and there are a couple of tags that date from two months ago. If all of the above are addressed then it should have a better chance next time JAGUAR 19:50, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
