[edit] Frank Zappa
An informative and well-written article about the late composer (December 21, 1940 – December 4, 1993). (Ibaranoff24 02:47, 26 December 2005 (UTC))

- Comment - the first 2 headings (1 Early life and influences & 2 The Mothers of Invention ) should be subdivided into some sub-headings because they are just too long. And does he really have a statue in Germany? Renata3 04:12, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- Object. There is no references section, instead they are all in a 'Further reading' section - The article needs to cite sources it used and should have a Notes section for in-line citations using footnotes. Otherwise looks good. — Wackymacs 08:12, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- Object - needs copyediting (but that is minor). Main problem, as stated above, is that sources are not correctly cited. This is mostly a well structured, and well written article - it would be a great shame if it fails in it's nomination simply because sources are not cited. Rossrs 01:34, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Tentatively Object Good article, well composed and NPOV is spot on, completely spoiled by lack of cited sources. The info doesn't look taken verbatim from any one of the links in further reading, which is a huge plus in it's favour. I really didn't know much beyond the name of this musician before, but this bio was more informative than his own website! Please cite sources, then count this as a Support.--HasBeen 08:53, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
