It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

An appropriate infobox may need to be added to this article, or the current infobox may need to be updated. Please refer to the list of biography infoboxes for further information.

Jonathan Elias was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: February 26, 2007

[edit] Photo needed

Can anyone provide a freely licensed image of Mr. Elias? We can make do with a press release photo if we must, but we'd prefer a work that is available under a free use license, per Wikipedia:Example requests for permission. Thanks! — Catherine\^talk 06:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Failed "good article" nomination

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of February 26, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: no. The lead is only one sentence long, and many paragraphs have only two sentences. Much of the text also suffers from proseline.

2. Factually accurate?: no. The artist's own website (or MySpace) are not acceptable sources. See WP:RS for information about what sources should be used.

3. Broad in coverage?: no. Much of the proseline prevents any sort of detail from being present. As an example, the section about The Prayer Cycle gives very little information about the work other than the languages and artists that appear. The article also needs an infobox.

4. Neutral point of view?: yes.

5. Article stability? yes.

6. Images?: N/A. No images present, but this is not reason enough to fail.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. Thanks for your work so far. --ShadowHalo 22:35, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
