  • It is reasonably well written: a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

I think the article could do with a bit more copyediting, for example in the lede there is a sentence "Lerkendal opened as a multi-purpose stadium in on 10 August 1947" (the in is superfluous). Even as a football fan, I was not exactly sure what the phrase "league final" meant until I clicked the league season article (it was the decisive match of the league, not a cup final). Not much work needed really. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 20:06, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed the in on and i've rephrased the final part—this is the sort of reasons why I take it to GA. I can go through on a copyedit again, but there will always be some small things which get past. Arsenikk (talk) 19:41, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

Everything checks out here, all important statements are referenced to reliable sources (Norwegian media, football organisations, government). Jmorrison230582 (talk) 20:06, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused):

I think there are a few aspects that are unclear. I'm not exactly sure why the stadium was built in the first place. For example, it's clear why it was redeveloped (RBK's participation in Europe). RBK didn't become tenants until 10 years after it opened. The article mentions relief work, was this like a Norwegian version of public works, in response to the Great Depression? German barracks are mentioned: was the stadium construction in some way related to the German occupation of Norway? The international matches of the stadium are listed, all of which were between 1951 and 1987. I am curious as to why there have not been any more since 1987, particularly since the redevelopment. Is there a preferred national stadium which is (almost) always used? Have there been any significant events at Lerkendal, apart from football matches? Jmorrison230582 (talk) 20:06, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good questions. I've explained the relief/public works issue, which should explain "why". I've also rephrased the barracks sentence to give some context (this is so obvious for Norwegian it would go without saying, but I understand that this is not so for other people). I've also found at least official reason for all international matches being played at Ullevaal, and some major concerts held at the venue. Arsenikk (talk) 19:41, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias:

I don't see a problem here, the article doesn't misrepresent the subject. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 20:06, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • It is stable. No edit wars, etc.:

Not much editing at all, never mind warring! Jmorrison230582 (talk) 20:06, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

There are pictures of almost every perspective of the modern stadium. My only slight gripe would be there is no images of the stadium in (say) the 1960s, when it had big attendances and internationals, but it may not be possible to source free images of this. 20:06, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

I have looked every conceivable place, but have found nothing. We have a fantastic source of images of Norway up until the 1940s, but after that there is no real source of images until the present. Not much that can be done. Arsenikk (talk) 19:41, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Overall: Pass/Fail:

Fairly close to passing, really. I think the only significant problem is the lack of context as to why the stadium was developed initially. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 20:06, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late replay, I have been unavailable. All should have been seen to now, thanks for the good questions and remarks. Arsenikk (talk) 19:41, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
