Hi EternalBaile, unfortunately I’m going to have to quick fail this, as I think it requires significant development before it can meet the GA criteria, and may potentially qualify as a drive-by nomination. I have some advice below if you're interested in trying to re-nominate in the future:

your authorship is fairly low, at around ~6%, although I recognize you have made many smaller edits. there's nothing wrong with that, but per the good article criteria, "If the nominator is either the author of less than 10% of the article or ranked sixth or lower in authorship, and there is no post on the article talk page, a reviewer may uncontroversially consider the GAN a drive-by nomination." Since this article could benefit from expansion (more on that below), I think you could easily increase this number. It also might be worth reaching out to the primary author if you haven't already, to see if they may be interested in collaborating on bringing this up to GA.
Lede should follow body - i.e. it should give a preview of what’s in store for the article as a whole. Right now it doesn’t touch on reception at all, which is a key component of any album article.
the prose simply needs more work to reach criteria 1. one example: "When recording Lope had the goal of making music that makes him happy." - who is Lope? If this is a typo for Lopez, i.e. Ericdoa's real name, that still needs clarification as he hasn't been introduced that way at all in the text so far.
the reception section doesn't have any organization or use a summary-style. it just lists three critics' opinions, relying on direct quotes rather than paraphrasing. I highly recommend this essay about copyediting reception sections - it was really helpful for me when I was trying to improve my own reception sections.

This article has a solid foundation, but right now I don't think it's yet close enough to the GA criteria for a full review. I'd be happy to take another look in the future if you make some changes and re-nominate. Best of luck, Zzz plant (talk) 18:35, 27 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
