I've given a B-Class rating for this article as it's currently nominated for GA. It contains information about every song on the album.Fluence 22:40, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Under the Iron Sea was a good article candidate, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. Once the objections listed below are addressed, the article can be renominated. You may also seek a review of the decision if you feel there was a mistake.

[edit] Failed GA

I'm sorry, but I have to fail this is as a GA.

  • The lead section is the article, in terms of lead. You should have an intro (summary), and then the text in sections. See WP:LEAD.
  • You use many quotations but there's no citations or references
  • The layout and formatting is unconventional
  • There's no synopsis of the reviews the record has received, very little text of any substance

Please have a look at some of the album GAs and FAs to see the kind of standard an article needs to reach. Cheers. --kingboyk 18:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging

  • Don't merge. Merging will make Under the Iron Sea very long and some information will be lost. This documents an event (currently on hiatus) and will be growing gradually--Fluence 22:30, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Don't merge. Albums and tours have different characteristics. If a tour is worth describing, it is worth describing in a separate article. 192.102.82.253 15:37, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge. It contains a lot of unverified information, together with personal opinion and comment. As an article, it is also very poorly written. The English is very non-standard and unecyclopaedic. Are Keane really a notable enough band to have an article devoted to almost every single thing they have ever done on Wikipedia? Richyard 21:05, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Yes--Fluence 21:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Many potential Keane fans dont know who Keane is :) jorge taveras

[edit] Article is too long

This article needs to be revised and delete a lot of useless information

[edit] information on songs

Doesn't really have information on the songs itself, just that if they've been released as a single or not
