 * 5) First glance from the Council Chambers:
 * 6) *GAN requirement number 9: "For articles under 1000 words in length, comprehensive detail is required with all information covered from all sources and appearances. For articles over 1000 words, broad coverage addressing all major aspects of the topic is sufficient." The article currently stands at only 443 words, disqualifying it from the "broad coverage" provision. This must be expanded up to at least one thousand words at the absolute minimum, preferably more, before I'll even consider looking at it.

Comments
 * Before I review, did you get an okay for this from Grunny? He has reserved this article as his personal project on WP:LE. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Jedi Beacon ) 17:12, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I did not, because I was unaware of this. Nowhere on the page nor in the talk page does it say this (though I understand what you're saying).  Also, I don't understand why this article requires 1,000 words; why can it not fall under the "under 1,000 words" category?  I didn't understand that the source requirement was required everywhere, so I will get to adding them.  Lastly, if this is Grunny's personal project, then why are others not allowed to work on the article?  That sounds pretty bad, having an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, except the articles that someone has claimed".  I don't mean to sound bad, I just mean that I should be able to work on the article. Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith 17:24, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, so I remove my comments about article reservation with an apology, because I didn't notice that this was part of a Wookieeproject (which it does say on the talk page). But still, I maintain that I can still edit the article and even bring it up to GA status, especially since Grunny, having claimed it, hasn't made an edit since at least May.  As for Fett's comment I will get to working on it this afternoon. Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith 17:29, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * As far as the word count, read the rule I quoted. Any article under 1,000 words (which this article currently is) must be comprehensive&mdash;i.e. fully detailed without glossing over major plot points with just a few words. In order to be comprehensive, this article would have to be several thousand words, given that Vestara is a major character in Omen. The alternative is "broad coverage", meaning that the article simply addresses all major points without going into the level of detail required of a comprehensive article. However, such articles must be at least 1,000 words minimum. Any article both under 1,000 words and not comprehensive simply cannot qualify as a Good Article. As far as Grunny goes, I suspect he's waiting for Abyss to be released in two weeks; she is listed in the Dramatis Personae for that book, and as such will need a significant update at that time. &mdash;Master Jonathan(Jedi Council Chambers) 17:53, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I understand, thank you for the info. As for Grunny, I've contacted him a few minutes ago, so hopefully I'll hear back soon.  I'd like to see this through (it's my first nomination), so I've asked for both his permission to work on it and his help.  Hopefully I'll hear back soon. Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith 18:04, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I spoke with Grunny, and I leave the article to him (he wants to bring it to FA and has been working on it privately). Is there a way to de-nom it? Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith 11:09, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
