GA Nomination
editWell, this article has languished for several years now in quite a good state, barring a few outages. Apart from the Filmography and Awards, which have both been hived off to subsidiary articles, the text is much as it was back in 2021 (say). I've tidied it up a bit and think it worth taking it to GAN, which I'll boldly do now. If anyone objects or would like to co-nominate it, now's your chance.

- Hello Chiswick Chap. I would be happy to help co-nominate. Last year I had tried improving the article and nominated it for GA, but there were some remaining issues. I had intended to renominate it later after solving these issues, would you like to work on them together? --Lord Theoden (talk) 20:11, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, you're very welcome! Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:20, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Overall: 
I'd be interested in seeing some hook variants. One source for example mentions that at the time this was not common. Which also implies that its potentially become increasingly common. I'd also be interested in seeing some alts about other aspects of Elijah, for example I didn't know that he owns a record company and is a DJ, and there seems to potentially be more.

- @Lord Theoden and Chiswick Chap: Please respond to the above. Z1720 (talk) 19:25, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Lord Theoden and Chiswick Chap: Final ping. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:33, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Chiswick left a message on his talk page saying he is currently too unwell to work on the article. Lord Theoden has not edited in over a month. Unless another editor takes over and adopts the nomination there no longer appears to be a path forward. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:19, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
