Review section
editI am nominating this featured article for review because of the heavy reliance on company materials and also unreliable sources, per my talk page notice. Bumbubookworm (talk) 06:48, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Bumbubookworm, neither the talk page notification, nor the listing here identifies which text that is sourced to company materials breaches WP:ABOUTSELF. It would be difficult to write a comprehensive company article without using the company's own sources; we need to know instances where that is done inappropriately.

- Well, 1c) does require high-quality RS, which I believe should not use a large chunk of self-sourcing if possible. Holden was the only Australian car company that existed, so while it was operational, it was the de facto national car company in the way that Qantas is the de facto national airline. If you go to google books there are dozens of full-length books that are specifically about Holden, more than there are on some Prime Ministers of Australia.

- This article uses many book sources already; could you please provide some specific information that is left out and that should be included to meet comprehensiveness? Company articles (like schools) will use self-sourcing, and as long as it is done appropriately, that is not a reason to delist, and high quality is dependent upon the content area. We should provide specific examples of content from reliable sources that is not included, but should be, to cover major facts, per 1b. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:34, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - you nominated this article for FAR on Christmas Day. You might want to give people a bit more time given the time of year. Deus et lex (talk) 01:11, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
