I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.

Disambiguations: none found.

Linkrot: one found and fixed.[1] Jezhotwells (talk) 19:29, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
The band are currently undergoing a resurgence in popularity, with their latest studio offering, The Final Frontier, peaking at No. 1 in 28 different countries[1] and receiving widespread critical acclaim. This needs a date, "currently" ia word to avoid, suggest as of [whatever year].

A bad performance at the Bridgehouse Where is the Bridgehouse?

was considered to join the group at one time suggest something like "was considered as a potential group member"

Bandwagon Heavy Metal Soundhouse Where was this?

~~What happened to the fourth song from the demo?~~

particularly through alleged drug usage, which Di'Anno himself admits. If he admits it, why is it alleged?

In a press release regarding From Fear to Eternity, band manager Rod Smallwood revealed that the band will release a new concert video to DVD in 2011, needs an update as it is now almost 2012

Overall good prose, just few tweaks needed. I made a number of minor copy-edits.[2]
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Well cited, I assume good faith for off-line sources, spotchecks confirm the cited statements, consistency in retrieval dates would be good, dd-mm-yyyy is best, I think. Sources appear to be RS, no OR
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Thorough coverage
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
NPOV
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
No edit warring
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
File:Wordmarks of IM.jpg has the wrong licence, should have the logo license or {{PD-textlogo}} Otherwise images check out fine.

Sound samples check OK, with suitable captions, duration and rationales.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
OK, nearly there, just a few issues to address. On hold until 2 January. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:23, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks for the fixes, happy to list, Jezhotwells (talk) 12:10, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have edited the article according to each of the above suggestions. Although I trust that these issues are now rectified, I am willing to make further alterations if necessary.--Nerdtrap (talk) 01:09, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
