Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Catelyn and her entourage arrive at the Eyrie, ruled by Lord Jon Arryn's widow, Lysa (Kate Dickie), Catelyn's sister, but when she finally meets her sister after five years, Lysa is mentally unstable and frightened of the Lannisters' power. Very poor and unclear prose. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:41, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

   Meanwhile Lysa prepares to render judgment on Tyrion as an accomplice for her husband's murder "accomplice in her husband's murder"?

   At Winterfell, Theon (Alfie Allen) grows more jealous of Tyrion when his favorite prostitute Ros (Esmé Bianco), taunts him that she prefers Tyrion as he is a better lover and his family is richer compared to Theon due his position in the Stark household. Really, this is semi-literate, please take it away to get it copy-edited by someone who can write good plain English, the take it to peer review before renominating.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   The first criterion of WP:WIAGA is that articles are "reasonably well written". This nomination clearly fails as it appears to have been written by someone with little or no command of plain English. Not listed. WP:GAN is not a place to teach basic literacy skills.
