I first became aware of this article when it was TFA in September. I feel that it was not adequately scrutinised at FAC and that, had it been, it would not have been promoted. It's a nice article and of good GA quality, but lacks the finish of a featured article. My concerns are primarily 1b and c (comprehensive and well-researched) and secondarily 1b (neutrality). There are many major points missing from the article for it to be comprehensive—the subject's date of birth had to be removed because it was inadequately sourced; the article relies heavily on quotes for its bulk, many of which say little about the subject and without them the article is essentially a list of performances; the article contains next to no analysis of her roles; there's no background on the subject (eg the cause of her deafness, which is a big part of her notability); it contains nothing on her opinions on deafness/the deaf community/whether deafness is a disability (again, material I would expect in a biographical FA of someone notable for being a deaf actress). The sourcing is inadequate for a featured article; the bulk of the sources are gossipy entertainment websites which are not high quality reliable sources—the few high-quality sources there are are fairly thin and do not support the bulk of the article's content. Which brings me to neutrality—as I said on the talk page, because there is so little to say about the subject the article is entirely uncritical, almost hagiographical, because most of the sources boil down to "look at this cute little girl signing". I gave notice on 24 September and I had a discussion with the nominator, Pamzeis, who doesn't feel that any any significant improvements can be made.
