Unfortunately, this article meets the Quick Fail criteria for Good Article nominations. It suffers from a number of problems, some of which I'll put here to help anyone who would like to help improve the page.

• The article is not split into sub-sections and a biography on Harrison is not presented in a chronological way. As best as I can tell, there is one paragraph at the end of the page with a brief summary of Harrison's life, this is neither comprehensive enough nor substantial enough to be considered thorough enough for GA.
• The article is not written from a neutral point of view. Most of the information here consists of quotes from other people, who are clearly commending Harrison on his work. Reliable, third party sources documenting the information is essential for an article. See WP:NPOV for more on this.
• The inline citations are not formatted correctly, and the reference list does not include enough information on the sources to make them clear. See WP:CITE for how to correct both of these.
• His accomplishments need to be written in more detail, as things stand the article very briefly discusses some of his work but does not establish his notability or give a clear picture as to what exactly he did.
• You may need to check with an image expert on the legality of our using the image on the page; I'm not sure it is under the correct license. See WP:IMAGES
• Please see WP:GACR for more info on what should be added to the article to put it through the GA criteria.

Fail for now. The article has potential to be substantially improved to GA criteria, but at this time, it does not meet the GA standard. Please consider expanding it per the Wikipedia manual of style and consider renominating in the future. —Ed!^(talk) 01:52, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

GA renom just made. Substantial upgrades have been made with the refs. Copyedit done to improve chronology, though available sources do not include some dates. Other detail also added, though the available biographical info is limited to the few sources which cover the subject. Hoppyh (talk) 21:16, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
