I'll review this article. Vanamonde (talk) 09:46, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nasr is clearly an important figure, but the article at present does not do its subject justice. It is 532 words long, of which a substantial chunk are quotes from the subject. Much of the coverage is to do with his book and his blog: besides that, the biographical information is limited pretty much to a single paragraph. Likewise, most of the sources are related to his books and his blog, or are primary sources from organizations he is connected with: the only detailed biographical source seems to be the WSJ article, and it's difficult to construct a GA article from a single news profile. Even so I was able to find information in the sources currently in the article, which is not included: such as the fact that he applied for and received asylum in Canada. This really needs more detail to meet GA criterion 3 (broad in coverage) and as the article is currently very far from meeting this, I regret to say I have to fail this review.
