I will be conducted the review shortly. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 23:12, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Citation needed tags must be fulfilled;
I have added some more where they are necessary;
Any dead links should be fixed;
If "Criticism of Australian Federal Police tipoff" is indeed relevant to Myuran Sukumaran - who is not mentioned - this needs to be made clearer or the section removed if not;
The English should be tightened. Mostly it's not bad, but sentences like "According to Lawrence, following earlier alleged threats from Chan, on 5 April 2005 Sukumaran met with Si Yi Chen, Martin Stephens, and Lawrence at a Sydney hotel where police allege drug smuggling tools such as sealable plastic bags, medical tape, elastic waist bands and skin tight bike shorts were stuffed into the bags of Stephens and Lawrence." are just too complex to be clear. The brackets in the first sentence of the lead are unbalanced.
The lead should be slightly longer, and mention the nature of the appeals. (Needs to provide an adequate summary per WP:LEAD)
The article ought to say more about the man personally - but this sort of thoroughness is not required under the GACR
I'm also worried about some bias against the Indonesian authorities. Much is made of his appeals, and that of the Australian government. There is little from Indonesia in this regard. A few tweaks, such as a corresponding quotation or the Indonesian side of the story from a native newspaper would be sufficient.
I also raise the same image problems Jezhotwells did at Talk:Andrew Chan/GA1. If they are indeed executed, this would strengthen a claim.

For these reasons, I'm failing the article. However, once these issues are addressed, I would encourage you to renominate. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 23:25, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
