Unfortunately, I am failing this article's GAN for a lack of broadness and questionable neutrality. (WP:GACR) The background and biographical info looks great, but I'm concerned about the last two sections. The "Reactions by and in the media" section does not and should not focus only on the media. Is there any info available from public opinion polls or general reactions to the dog? Talk show reactions, editorials, anything? Also, the Washington Post stuff could be moved to the biographical information section.

In addition, the name "Disputed rescue heritage" is a misnomer for the second to last section. The dog's rescue heritage really isn't disputed; we KNOW everything about its heritage. Therefore, the section could use a name change. Also, the section itself seems to be filled with criticisms of the Obama's decision in not choosing a shelter dog. Therefore, is it really neutral in handling the controversies behind Bo's being chosen?

Feel free to renominate this article at WP:GAN once you have addresses the issues above. --Edge3 (talk) 23:00, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
