I'll review this and my first thought is that it's mainly lists about the winners which unfortunately under the criteria is not eligible for GA status, you might like to try WP:FL. I think the prose needs a lot of expansion before you can really consider this an article suitable for GA status.

My review of the page as it stands:

The page at the moment appears neutral, broad and follows the MOS however I do not feel it is anywhere near ready for GA status and I think it would be much better served as a Featured List. I'll leave it to you to decide how you want to proceed. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 22:06, 19 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Is there a minimum requirement for prose? In the past I've seen plenty of good articles with much less prose than this? The Rambling Man (talk) 09:41, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
It's not the prose alone, it's that it's outnumbered by the lists. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:45, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Where is that specified in the criteria please? The Rambling Man (talk) 09:57, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
WP:GACR, the section titled What cannot be a good article. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 10:03, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
I can't see where it says that prose shouldn't be outnumbered by lists. Perhaps you could be more specific? The Rambling Man (talk) 10:09, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
It's linked to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 10:15, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Well that depends if you think this is a SAL or not. Clearly you do which renders this nomination pointless. I'll withdraw it, thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:25, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
I'm saying that in my opinion it would be better serves listed as a FL than a GA. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 10:27, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I understand what you're saying. Hence I'd like to withdraw the nomination. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:52, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
