I'll have a review written for this article some time today.

Cherrell410 & GustavoCza: I've reviewed the article, and significant issues turned up. First, it appears that the article was not copyedited or organized before it was nominated; there are grammatical and structural errors throughout, and some of the content should be reordered. Second, it seems that the article does not closely follow the sources: this is bad at the best of times, but it's particularly a problem for a BLP. These are things that should always be checked before nominating, and either one of these issues is enough to say that the article still needs significant work before it's ready for GA.

is an English professional– Is "professional" the job title that he's described with by the sources?
of handling alone an occupation– Needs rewording
They have been friends since 13 years old and were on a band of soul and R&B covers– There are multiple grammatical errors in this sentence.
He enrolled on a Classical Studies degree– How do you enroll "on" a degree?
While in college, Harvey used to work at local nightclubs– This would mean that he had already stopped working for them by the time he had gotten to college.
while the event is considered when Harvey began to manage the band– This does not make sense.
eventually dropping out of university to dedicate himself to the role entirely– Didn't this already happen?
They later wrote the song "Brothers & Sisters"– Who is "they"? Did Harvey write it with someone? Or was it written by the rest of the band without Harvey?
Harvey carried out his role single-handedly until early 2001– The article doesn't specify what he's actually doing for Coldplay at this point.
He also affirmed the 21st Brit Awards was his lowest point– Is "affirmed" the right word here?
he returned as the band's friend– This then lists a bunch of things that he did. Are these responsibilities different than what he did as manager?
All sources appear generally reliable.
Spot checks:
On the verge of starting a NHS training as a clinical psychologistis close paraphrasing of I was on the verge of starting my training with the NHS as a clinical psychologist
a Classical Studies degree at Trinity College, Oxford– Where does this source say he attended Trinity College as opposed to one of the other Oxford colleges?
and dedicate himself to personal endeavours?
His bandmates have described him as "the wise, handsome, frightening one who tells us what to do".– This is not the quote. An article cannot alter quotes and change who said them out of convenience.
The couple have three children– This confirms that Phil has three sons, but it's possible that he had at least one before meeting Yasmin, and it's possible that he has daughters that aren't mentioned.
named the organization's vice-president– Technically the source says "vice chair".
The spot checks turned up some issues. I suggest going through the article and making sure that the sources all confirm everything that they're supposed to confirm. A BLP especially should not have any discrepancies with the sources.
The article does not give much attention to his actual role as manager or what he did for the band. Most of the article is about when he wasn't a manager, and a lot of the content about being manager is about how much he disliked it.
No ideas are given undue weight. The article does not use subjective language.
No recent disputes.
