Reviewer: I will quickfail this nom. There is a section with a single line, and two others with a single paragraph. This is B-class at best. Nergaal (talk) 20:22, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

The website is showing up twice in the infobox and the brackets are showing.
- I have been requesting that the website parameter be fixed for weeks.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:06, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
He led his high school team on a 13-game win streak [1] could be good to add.
- Added.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:12, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"In 2010, Ivy League Rookie of the Year Mike Chanenchuk totaled 28 as a freshman." did he go to princeton, or another ivy league school? If the latter, Prager's school record would at least still be intact.
- Clarified.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:13, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The profession career section should be able to be expanded. There's the stat site in the infobox as well as [2] a good amount in google news from what it looks like.
- In terms of local news coverage, he scored enough goals over the course of his career that he got mentioned in a lot of articles. I don't think noting every hat trick is really appropriate. What we need are important post season and all-star goals and truly spectacular games. I added his five goal game. Not so keen on adding four goal games.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:55, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article on hold. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 02:50, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Part of me is still reluctant to pass this just because of how short the article is. That being said, I have looked through the sources, and beyond the passing mentions in game recaps, there is little tangible to be added in. The last point is fair, since there's a fine line between adding in stats and overburdening the article with them; I know I've done the latter on some of my baseball ones. Really the only issue if the shortness, that doesn't mean it's not comprehensive. What it does do, however, is pass all GA criteria, and as a result I will pass the article.

Result: Kept Nominator happy with current state of the article AIRcorn (talk) 08:27, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The prose is choppy and basically a list of his accomplishments (which admittedly, are many). Each section is relatively short and only contains positive information. Many of the references are statistics, lists, or record books. ~~None~~ 1, 3, 4, and 6 of the criteria for a GA are not met in my opinion. - Mnnlaxer | talk | stalk 04:38, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Section 6 can't be covered as their is no images for it to go under. Therefore this automatically ticks that section. I do agree though, that their seems to be a lot of short sentences in consecutive sentences with the main problem being in the Background section. HawkAussie (talk) 01:20, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I worked on the prose a bit to try and make it flow better. Images are not a requirement and we can't add negative stuff if there is none covered in reliable sources so I don't think 4 is an issue unless a good source (taking into account BLP and Weight) is provided. As for broadness, I agree that is an issue. However, again we can only use what the reliable sources give us. Sometimes a short article is all that is possible. @Mnnlaxer and HawkAussie: plus the nominator and original reviewer. AIRcorn (talk) 22:14, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your work and I'm fine with passing the article now. Thanks. - Mnnlaxer | talk | stalk 22:52, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
