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

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

• Reference 2 is a dead link.
• A number of references go to 404. Some update is needed.
• This article would merit running of the IAB over the references and then sorting the references that are not updated

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

• The overall tone of the new songs is one of defiance. Obviously Jackson is attempting to turn around all the bad publicity of the past few years, related to allegations of child abuse (he never has been charged with a crime). is the main focus of this track, clearly picked up by music reviewers.

1. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

• Nominee has tagged Personel section of article for {{Unreferenced section|date=June 2021}} and immediately nominated article for GAR. This is designed failure for GAR.

06:43, 1 July 2021‎ Tbhotch talk contribs‎ 26,627 bytes +40‎ →‎ Personnel: I mean, it's not the sole section. This was promoted in 2008, and has not been maintained since then. So it naturally doesn't qualify as a GA anymore

• The above statement (not been maintained since then) is patently untrue.
• Tag removed during GAR.

1. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

• Page created 15 November 2005
• Page has 946 edits by 509 editors, with 41 page watchers
• 90 day age views = 12,296 with a daily average of 135 views
• Citation bot has been on the page 7 times; IAbot has visited 3 times
• 22 vandalism reverts up to 2010, more came after the GA status...
• 32 vandalism reverts from 2010 to present day
• lot of reverts of unsourced information;
• Page needs watching on a regular basis...

1. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

• File:Stranger In Moscow.jpg = Cover by musician. Low resolution and fair use claimed. Accepted.
• File:Michael Jackson Stranger in Moscow screenshot.JPG = = Screenshot from video. Low resolution and fair use claimed. Accepted.
• Images considered appropriate and tagged like so.

1. Overall:

• This article would merit running of the Internet Archive bot over the references and then sorting the references that are not updated.
• Else, the article is OK and keeps GA status. --Whiteguru (talk) 11:08, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
