Review section

Talk page noticed of deficiencies, mainly citation, a month ago: no progress. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 10:14, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Move to FARC, a few edits, but ten days in, still lots of uncited text. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 09:14, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the unsourced text is concerning, but it might be salvageable. Snuggums (talk / edits) 02:11, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Unless a select group of dedicated editors really prune and perfect the article in the very near future, I'd say demoting for now seems to be the most appropriate course of action.--PeterGriffin • Talk2Me 02:39, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Main concern is verifiability. DrKiernan (talk) 21:32, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delist, almost three weeks in, and there is still uncited text. The (large) effort that would be needed to bring this article back to standard has not happened. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:22, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delist I concur with Sandy that this will take considerable work to be up to par. In addition to uncited content, there are malformatted references, dead links, and subpar sources like Daily Mail and Perez Hilton. Snuggums (talk / edits) 22:11, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delist: I was surprised to find that, despite the comments here, there was not a single citation needed tag on the article. I have added seven cn tags and a few better source tags. There are 39 marked dead links at this time. This is clearly deficient, and no one has taken on the necessary work to improve it, so it's time to delist.

Closing note: This removal candidate has been delisted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please leave the {{featured article review}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. DrKiernan (talk) 10:17, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
