Lena Zavaroni 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: May 6, 2007 |

[edit] NPOV
By turn, there was immense power, passion and tenderness in Lena's voice; she was also very witty and inteligent, all of which was largely unappreciated.
Is that neutral? I think not. Abie
[edit] This is almost at good article status
Someone could really nominate this...--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 14:10, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] References
I know I am dumb but could someone help me reference Andrew O' Hagan's novelisation. The info is----- Andrew O'Hagan Personality(2003)Harcourt Publishing ----- Thanx I am learning Paul210 22:17, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if its really needed or not as its fairly evident from what's already there. However, you were missing a slash. If you want to put it back in the following will work <ref> Andrew O'Hagan ''Personality''(2003) Harcourt <\ref> RicDod 20:03, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Good Article Nomination comments
It's nice to see a short article like this with some references, but I think it still needs some improvements before it could be considered a Good Article. The intro paragraph should have more than just one sentence. The article could benefit from at least one picture of her as an adult. The article needs a preferably free-use image of her for the infobox, but would be ok with a fair-use promotional image. An explanation of when or how she stopped performing and ended up on state benefits needs to be added. The Lena and Bonnie show and the Lena Zavaroni and Music show probably need more than one sentence each. The aforementioned additional content should be separated into sections. Even Ma, He's Making Eyes at Me is her only album, the article could use a discography section with additional information about the album and its singles. As far as references though, ten citations come from a biography on a web site tribute to her which may not meet Wikipedia's guidelines on reliable sources. I hope that someone can make the necessary improvements. I'll monitor the page to take note of any progress. - cgilbert(talk|contribs) 20:56, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
- Placed on hold pending improvements; cgilbert's pretty much nailed down most of the issues with the article. Also, "impresario" misspelled, and a fair-use rationale needed for the album cover regardless of whether or not a free-use image is found for the infobox. Chubbles 07:49, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks to both of you for taking the time to review the article. I had a feeling that the picture would be a problem. I don't really know enough about copyright law to find a suitable one, especially as most of the pictures on the internet seem to be on fan sites with no attribution. I've also become fairly busy in real life so I probably won't be able to action the other suggestions within a reasonable time scale. Hopefully I'll be able to nominate the article again some time in the future. Thanks once again for your comments. RicDod 21:03, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll leave it on hold for a few more days just in case. Chubbles 21:23, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
