General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing:
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: - ?

Hook eligibility:

Cited: - n
Interesting:
Other problems: - n

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Checked for core criteria as noted above. Article does not contain the information noted in either hook. There is no mention of Driscoll's defiance, or of the NJ Guard being the first to integrate. When I made random Google checks for paraphrasing, I did uncover one example: (quote marks not in nom or article) "primarily with the protection of vital installations, such as bridges, reservoirs". Either paraphrasing or quote marks are called for as a correction.Georgejdorner (talk) 00:03, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Stale. Nominator was issued about problems on their talk page five days ago and has since been active. Jolly Ω Janner 06:03, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

My WP access and time has been limited over the past few weeks and I hadn't seen the issues here. I will resolve the concerns in the next few days or agree to drop this nomination. Alansohn (talk) 16:10, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Over a week since the nominators appeal for more time. While both the nominator and article author have both been active during parts of the week, no edits have been made to the article to address the outstanding issues. --Allen3 ^talk 00:39, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
