Hi, I will be reviewing this against the GA criteria as part of a GAN sweep. I'll leave some comments soon. JAGUAR  20:19, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   The lead will need to be expanded in order to summarise the article per WP:LEAD. Given the size of the article, I would recommend expanding to a decent sized paragraph (a few sentences more should do it)

   "Areola began playing football at the age of 6 for Petits Anges and spent seven years at his local club before signing for PSG" - what does PSG stand for? Some clarification is needed

   "Areola played 61 minutes in the final match of the season before being substituted for fourth-choice 'keeper Ronan Le Crom" - stray apostrophe?

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   No original research found.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. 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):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

The lead will need to be expanded slightly, but overall I think this is a close to meeting the criteria as it is comprehensive and well researched for the subject. On hold JAGUAR  15:44, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JAG, thank you for reviewing this nomination. It is greatly appreciated. I have made the following changes as per your recommendations.

• I have extended the lead by adding two further sentences.
• I have changed 'PSG' to 'Paris Saint-Germain' in the opening line under Paris Saint-Germain and included further reference to the league they play in.
• The apostrophe in 'keeper is included as a result of the shortening of the word goalkeeper. I have seen it written without the apostrophe though so I'm not too bothered by that. If you'd like me to remove I shall do so.

Thanks again for the review.

Thank you for the responses! Don't worry about the apostrophe, it seems minor. Anyway, with all of the issues addressed this looks good to go. JAGUAR  18:45, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
