{{GATable/item|1a|y| No concerns with the prose, spelling, or grammar.

}}

{{GATable/item|1b|y| Given the length of the article, I think the lead could be longer. It's missing summaries of the doxxing, "influence on internet culture" section, and his other projects. Expanded lead is an excellent summary of the article now.

Layout is sensible. No concerns with regards to words to watch. Fictional elements (ie the dril persona) are clearly delineated as such.

I really like the boxed tweet reproductions as opposed to screenshots. They're a unique way of presenting the relevant tweets, in my opinion.

| colspan="3" | 2. {{Wikipedia:Good article criteria/GAC|2}}:

{{GATable/item|2a|y| Reference list is correctly formatted, references are clear and easy to read.

}}

{{GATable/item|2b|y| Although citations to Buzzfeed are unusual on WP, in this case I think it can be considered a reliable source for the people it interviews. Ditto for citations to Twitter.

}}

{{GATable/item|2c|y| Everything is cited and reffed, no conclusions are drawn that are not supported by the refs. No WP:SYNTH.

}}

{{GATable/item|2d|y| All quotes attributed in-text and are correctly cited with references.

}}

style="vertical-align:top;"

| colspan="3" | 3. {{Wikipedia:Good article criteria/GAC|3}}:

{{GATable/item|3a|y| Gives a good overview of dril's style and impact such that you would understand the topic reasonably well even if you knew nothing about it when you started the article.

}}

{{GATable/item|3b|y| With a prolific and memetic topic like dril, there is a danger of going overboard with examples, but this article avoids that by focusing on particular tweets that have been specifically remarked on by reliable sources. Again, there are enough examples that you understand the style and the humor, but not so many that it overtakes the article.

}}

{{GATable/item|4|y| No POV concerns. Any POVs are quoted and attributed.

}}

{{GATable/item|5|y| I made a few tweaks during my review and the author has been making some here and there but the majority of the content is stable.

{{GATable/item|6a|y| The work put into the fair use rationale for the dril avatar (and also used on the lead image of the two dril screenshots) by Ajfweb is scarily thorough. I'm impressed.

}}

{{GATable/item|6b|y| Relevance of images is clear via the captions.

}}

{{GATable/item|7|y| {{u|Brandt Luke Zorn}}, if you can expand the lead a little to summarize more of the article's contents, I think this is a solid pass. Lead has been expanded, all else is good. I say this is a solid GA pass! :D

}}

Comment: review basically ready to pass, just holding on the expansion of the lead or a reply from BLZ. ♠PMC(talk) 07:33, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
