Auto-fail: There is an {{unreliable sources}} tag within the "Presidency" section, which is an automatic fail per WP:WIAGA. Please ensure all sources are reliable before renominating. "He was succeeded by his Lieutenant Governor, Enos T. Throop, a member of the Regency" is also missing a citation. On another note, the "cities and towns" listings within the "memorials" section aren't even properly formatted since lists require bullet points, though something tells me it might be better to use prose form instead. I'm not sure if "memorials" needs to be divided into subsections in the first place given his most of them are quite short. "Including" from "Van Buren had one half-sister and two half-brothers, including" in the "Early life and education" section isn't really needed since all three half-siblings' names are provided. I've definitely seen articles at GAN in worse condition than this, but am sorry to say it simply isn't ready to be promoted to GA yet. Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:32, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
