I am reviewing this, and see multiple problems at a glance. BencherliteTalk 15:00, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
OK here we go, from the top:
- Lead is "Rabinder Singh, QC (born 1964), styled as The Hon. Mr. Justice Singh, is a English barrister, founding member Matrix Chambers,Law Professor, Recorder in the Crown Court and High Court of Justice Judge." Problems: missing word (of Matrix Chambers); missing space between comma and next word; no need for capital letters in "Law Professor"; Recorder "in" the Crown Court is the wrong terminology; and he is not a High Court judge yet, so it shouldn't be phrased in the present tense.
- The lead is also far too short to pass WP:LEAD.
- Early life and education: very poor writing, and other problems...
- "Britain" is a dablink (Fixed) --InExcelsisDeo (talk) 06:17, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- "attending Bristol Grammar School", instead of "attended" (Fixed) --InExcelsisDeo (talk) 06:17, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- "From an early age Singh had and interest in the law and he like the thought of one day becoming an advocate." Two glaring mistakes
- "At Trinity Collge University of Cambridge" – should be "College", and preferably Trinity College, Cambridge (Fixed) --InExcelsisDeo (talk) 06:17, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- "how the law hold those in power to account" "– holds" (Fixed) --InExcelsisDeo (talk) 06:17, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- "called to the Bar(Lincolns Inn) in July 1989.[3] [2]" – should be a space after "Bar" and no space between the references. (Fixed) --InExcelsisDeo (talk) 06:17, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- Career at the Bar - more on the same lines:
- "From 1997-2002" – should be "From 1997 to 2002" (Fixed) --InExcelsisDeo (talk) 06:17, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- Much of the prose in the subsections "4-5 Gray's Inn Square", "Matrix Chambers" and "Professional reputation (as counsel)" is unsourced
- And so is "Further cases", which shouldn't be in a collapsed box
- Too many bullet points, not enough prose
- High Court "exalted position" - NPOV?
I could go on, but the problems are too big to fix quickly. The article needs rewriting, as prose, and a proper copyedit before renomination. It's a quick-fail at this time. BencherliteTalk 15:13, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
