Hod Stuart[edit]

Nominator(s): Kaiser matias (talk) 21:40, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The fourth article from List of ice hockey players who died during their playing career and the third player from the 1945 Hockey Hall of Fame induction class, the Hod Stuart article is currently a GA, and has been reviewed by two experienced editors at WP:HOCKEY, as well as countless reviews I've done myself.

Sources: all sources look OK, no outstanding issues. Brianboulton (talk) 22:11, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Media Great job with the images, can these be moved to commons so other language projects can benefit from your excellent work Fasach Nua (talk) 22:19, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All four of them are already uploaded in Commons. But I went ahead and grouped them all together over there, and linked that to this article. Kaiser matias (talk) 22:37, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comprehensiveness? Has a full length book been written on this guy, or even a mini-bio chapter in a book somewhere? None appear to be used and most of the books are apparently only used in passing. At the moment, the article is very short given that he was an inaugural HOF member (therefore regarded in the top/most important 12 off all time up to that point) in a mainstream sport and described in the article as an all-time great (In ACHOF for instance, all of the ten inaugural have at least one full length book, but usually 3 or more, and the same for most of the others, including all the oldies) YellowMonkey (vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll) 05:55, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortuanetly, there is little information about most of the early HHOF members, and most of what is written is often either a brief summary of their career, or mentioning them in passing in regards to significant events they were part of. This article includes essentially all available information I could find about Stuart, which I'll agree is not much; if there were more information available, I would have definetly included it. Regardless, I don't think the length of the article should affect this or not; past short articles have passed, so long as they are comprehensive, which I believe this article to be.
