Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

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

   The lead does not fully summarise the article as per WP:LEAD.

   There are a large number of stray sentences and short paragraphs which need to be consolidated.

   Poorly written and badly organised throughout. They are well known partly due to their age. They are all under the age of 21, two members are still in high school, and the lead singer is still 17. is an example of this. Also a potentially dated statement.

   Article needs a reception section, where reviews and criticism can be placed.

   On December 6, 2009, while opening up for the All-American Rejects and Taking Back Sunday, the band played for the first time 3 new songs. Another example of very poor prose.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   One dead link, two unreliable sources and outstanding citation needed tag.

   Blabbermouth appears to be an unreliable source: "BLABBERMOUTH.NET is run and operated independently of Roadrunner Records. The accuracy of the information contained herein is neither confirmed nor guaranteed by Roadrunner Records, and the views and opinions of authors expressed on these pages do not necessarily state or reflect those of Roadrunner Records or its employees."

   A large number of uncited statements, viz: On July 26, 2010, Black Tide announced that it will go on tour supporting Bullet for my Valentine and Escape the Fate on their US tour in September–October 2010.,

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   With such a brief article it is hard to judge this.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   Reads a little like a fan site, needs to be more encyclopaedic in tone

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. 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):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   A long way from good article status so I shall be delisting this. Please renominate at WP:GAN, when these issues have been addressed.
