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 nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe 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
