I intend to review this GAN. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:35, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Mikehawk10: I'm sorry, but I think this is going to have to be a quick fail per WP:GAFAIL because the article is "a long way from meeting" GA criterion 5, stability. This article was nominated less than two weeks ago. Since then, there have been more than 100 edits, an AfD, an RM, a (still-pending) RfC, and several long and contentious talk-page discussions. Therefore, there clearly are substantial content disputes, and that's enough to fail criterion 5. In addition, the article covers a rapidly changing current event in which new news and information is coming to light on a near-daily basis. If I were to pass this article, I could have no confidence that it would still be GA-worthy a week later, much less after months or years. None of this is meant to minimize the yeoman's work that is clearly going into this article. To the contrary, it's good to see content disputes here: Contentious articles like this one are made better by difficult conversations. But the GA criteria simply do not allow me to sign off on such a volatile article as this one. When things cool down, you can renominate it, but I would strongly advise waiting a few months or even years. Until then, I wish you the best of luck in your work on this topic.

Yes, I agree that a quick fail is necessary. It fails on stability (article still constantly changing), neutrality (even the title of article is in dispute), and image use (again currently in dispute). Hzh (talk) 12:32, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
