Reviewer: Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs) 09:15, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I will use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Immediate Failures

It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria -
It contains copyright infringements -
It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include{{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar tags. (See also {{QF-tags}}). -
It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -
The last sentence of the general/overview section is a troll. -

Links

Prose

Lede

ASVEL of the LNB Pro A - these are club and league names right? Probably best to spell this out.
Standing 1.92 m (6 ft 3 1⁄2 in), he plays the point guard position. - unless you know about basketball, you wouldn't know why this is relevant.
Probably best to say where Rouen is (Ie, Normandy, France.)
breakout success - puff
becoming the youngest LNB All-Star in history and winning the LNB Pro A Best Young Player award. - needs explaination. Quite jargony.
There's a lot of acronyms here, (LNB, ASVEL, MVP, FIBA, INSEP), might be better to rewrite to explain some of these.
Representing France internationally - well, you wouldn't represent France nationally. Perhaps write "At youth international level, he won a"...

General

Could we get a WP:short description?
Birthdate is mentioned in lede and infobox, but not in prose, and is uncited.
U11 - playing at the under-11 age group. This is true for all UX
prestigious - puff
link/explain "starter"
season-high 26 - you say he scored 35 in an early sentence?
Maledon signed his first professional contract, - was his first season not professional?
- Even though he played at the pro level in his first season, it was not on a pro contract Sportzeditz (talk) 14:55, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
and four assists, shooting 6-of-7 from the field, in an 88–64 victory over Fos Provence - jargon. Needs explaination
Maledon made his debut for France - generally we refer this would be for the senior squad, perhaps have the word youth in there somewhere.

Review meta comments

I'll begin the review as soon as I can! If you fancy returning the favour, I have outstanding GA and FA nominations that require reviewing at WP:GAN and WP:FAC, respectively. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these, however it's definitely not mandatory. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Improved to Good Article status by Sportzeditz (talk). Nominated by The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) at 02:11, 16 June 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Y Article is long enough (6835 characters), is a GA, nominated in time (contrary to DYKcheck, it became GA on 14 June, not 30 April like DYKcheck says, and was nominated on 16 June), and article is within policy
Y Hook is short enough, interesting and well cited (AGF as behind paywall)
Y Image is freely licenced (as originally image also is), used in article, and looks good at low resolution
Y QPQ done
Overall this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:14, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
