I'll take this one--thanks in advance to everybody who's worked on it. -- Khazar2 (talk) 11:14, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was excited to see this one nominated, but it looks like this one still has some work to be done before it will be ready for GA.

There are various cleanup tags, particularly citation needed tags, of long-standing that will need to be resolved.
Interpretations such as "A major theme of Nineteen Eighty-Four is ..." should have citation, even if the answer is something as obvious as censorship. Explanations or theories like "The Thought Crime motif is drawn from Kempeitai, the Japanese wartime secret police, who arrested people for "unpatriotic" thoughts" also need citation.
The list of songs and other works that reference 1984 seems to be an unnecessary amount of detail. It will also require citation from a secondary source to link each of these works to Orwell's original.

It doesn't look like the nominator has made any edits to this article yet, so I'm going to close this one for now as a premature nomination. I hope that editors here will continue work and consider renominating this one in the future, though; it's an important article and will easily bag a Million Award.
