Review commentary
edit- Notified Football, Scotland and Biography wikiprojects. Also contacted User talk:Cantthinkofagoodname (original nom and by far main contributor) although seems to be inactive.
I believe this article made it to WP:FA over two years ago when perhaps the criteria weren't so strict. I can see problems with lack of citation, failures to comply with the manual of style, lack of images, poor and choppy prose and problems with POV.

- I think it fails 1a in that it is not that well written. I don't think it is very comprehensive. The early life section is very small as are his early clubs sections. It needs citations, especially for his early life. It fails criteria 3 in that it has no images. There are some little MOS fixes needed but i think Oldelpaso has fixed some of these including ndashes. It needs some work but i dont think it is beyond repair.

FARC commentary
edit- Suggested FA criteria concerns are prose (1a), referencing (1c), MoS issues (2), and images (3). Marskell 19:27, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Ugh, if anyone is working on this, please correct all the ibids (see WP:FN). Prose needs attention, this is just offensive: As of July 2005, he is still married to Diana,... (Still ?) Without any context for this one-sentence para, it looks like trivia: On November 25, 2005, Law was at the bedside of former United team-mate George Best as he died of multiple organ failure.

- Delist - 1a - written in informal manner like a newspaper or sport magazine. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:08, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
