Review

1. Well-written:

Criteria	Notes	Result
(a) (prose)	There's a limited use of jargon, for example: "where he played in one pre-season friendly away at York City." Also the term 'cap' - vernacular terms should be explained (or wikilinked) first use.	Pass
(b) (MoS)	Nothing to change.	Pass

2. Verifiable with no original research:

Criteria	Notes	Result
(a) (references)	Overall, the breadth of refs is strong. However, the first ref is a dead link and couldn't get the second one to open - which IS an issue since most of article rests on those. There's plenty of RS on topic (Found articles at CTV and The Province with a quick search), especially since subject was released this month, so this needs to be addressed	On hold
(b) (citations to reliable sources)	Arguably the most controversial statement in the article - about subject's appreciation for Thierry Henry - is from the broken link. Easily fixed.	Pass
(c) (original research)	Meets criteria.	Pass

3. Broad in its coverage:

Criteria	Notes	Result
(a) (major aspects)	Subject was released from his contract, this should be in article. Meets criteria.	On hold
(b) (focused)	Done well.	Pass

4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.

Notes	Result
Meets criteria.	Pass

5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.

Notes	Result
Changes seem to be all on improving/updating.	Pass

6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:

Criteria	Notes	Result
(a) (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales)	Picture appears in order.	Pass
(b) (appropriate use with suitable captions)	Meets criteria.	Pass

Result

Result	Notes
Pass	Fix refs & vernacular.

Discussion

Fix the holds and article passes - though would like to see links to football terms, or in-narrative description on first use (something as simple as "friendly game" clarifies things.) Otherwise, really good job. EBY (talk) 18:44, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

• If no one else does this by the middle of today, I'll take a stab at it. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 07:16, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Not sure of the nominator was aware the review had begun/was on hold, so I've just notified them. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:34, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

• A little bit redundant, now, Struway: I've completed the tasks I saw above. I should note that Haber has not been released by Stevenage, he has been transfer-listed - and that information was already in the article. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 12:39, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
  • You may not be aware that WP:GAN/I requires the reviewer to notify the nominator when they put the review on hold. I imagine the reviewer forgot, so I did it for them. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:45, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
    • Firstly, cheers EBY for reviewing the article. I see Lukeno94 has already made the neccessary changes (thanks), although I have just made a couple of other very small changes. And thank you Struway for the heads up, I hadn't noticed it had been placed on hold, so much appreciated for letting me know. Cheers. SBFCEdit (talk) 14:31, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

• I didn't realize that it was a requirement, Struway, but I was being light-hearted anyway. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 13:48, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

• It's NOT a requirement, Struway, though I appreciate you passing the word (though not the BITEy-ness). Thanks, Luke +, for all the good edits. The release was premature - it's a possible transfer? Ah. In any event, yes - the article passes criteria. EBY (talk) 17:22, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
