Considerations with the Good article criteria :

• Sources in the career section are almost completely primary sources from Youtube/Twitter. Both are user-generated sites and are considered generally unreliable unless the account is a verified user per WP:RSPTWITTER and WP:RSPYT. Since the section relies almost entirely on primary sources, it is not sufficient as the section receives very little independent coverage and has a cleanup banner that must be addressed. Fails (GAC #2)
• No illustrated media helping convey the topic (GAC #6)
• The article has been unstable since it was created three days ago, and has been given extended confirmed protection. Fails (GAC #5)
• The prose is not appropriately understandable to a broad audience. What is the "Pig" rank? (GAC #1)

The nominator also appears to have made no edits to the article. My advice is that the article should not be nominated again for at least a few weeks, in order for the sourcing to be improved and to assure the subject becomes more stable. CollectiveSolidarity (talk) 02:05, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

I think the only problem with the article whatsoever is stability. I have yet to find a single source from YouTube or Twitter in the References section, except for the "so long nerds" video. But probably it's because they were removed after the nomination. The illustration part is somewhat true, but it does have media files (also, we can't really add a real picture of Technoblade since it's considered non-free content - see the talk page). Also, I haven't found a single mention of the "pig rank" article - but again, it was probably due to instability.

Also, the reason I have not really made changes to the article except for a few requests is because the article is extended-confirmed protected.

I'll wait a few weeks for the article to gain stability and I will renominate it. I think the edits and requests will die down in around five weeks or so. GTNO6 (talk) 08:29, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

@GTNO6 Yeah, editors will lose interest after a few weeks, but I suggest reading up on MOS:BIO and including some non-free media with an appropriate WP:NFCC. Maybe there are some other users that could help you with the prose and organizing the article. Someone else will probably be doing the next review, so I wish you good luck!
