Failed "good article" nomination

This article has failed its Good article nomination. This is how the article, as of October 26, 2015, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?:

1. Meets quick-fail criteria, and also nominated by user not actively associated with prior Quality improvement on the article, part of pattern likely related to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TekkenJinKazama and/or commons:Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/Iggy488.
2. As for article itself -- article is poorly written.
3. Article has run-on sentences.
4. Article has sentences with overusage of commas, throughout entire article body text.
5. Example of careless sentence right in lede intro sect ending with a comma = My Name Is Khan,[4] commonly referred to as MNIK,[5] is a 2010 Indian Hindi drama film directed by Karan Johar, with a screenplay by Shibani Bathija, produced by Hiroo Yash Johar and Gauri Khan, and starring Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, = sentence just ends right there.
6. Huge amount of copyvio in form of blockquoting all over article, repeatedly.
7. Article is just one big WP:QUOTEFARM.

2. Verifiable?:

1. Lede per WP:LEADCITE does not need all those cites in the lede, for non-controversial, non-contentious info.
2. Shahrukh Khan also appeared on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross as part of its promotion in the UK, becoming only the second Indian after Shilpa Shetty to do so. = blatantly unsourced sentence.
3. and debuted at No. 1 at the Indian box office, thus attaining the third highest first-week net collections, again behind 3 Idiots and Ghajini. = unsourced.
4. The film managed to retain the No. 1 spot at the Indian box office for two consecutive weeks, and remained in the top five for six consecutive weeks. At the end of its theatrical run, My Name Is Khan earned INR 731.4 million (US$16,419,056) in India. = unsourced.
5. In New Zealand and Fiji, the film earned NZ$13,627 on its opening day, and earned NZ$144,831 (US$100,698) in its first week. By the second weekend, the film earned NZ$268,838 (US$184,933). = unsourced.
6. By the end of its first weekend, the film grossed US$890,000, breaking the previous record set by Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (US$830,000). It broke all previous box office records by the end of the first week, earning US$1.75 million. = unsourced.
7. Performance analysis -- sect tagged with problem tag = immediate quick-fail criteria here.
8. Awards and nominations = entire sect unsourced.
9. "Sajda" and "Tere Naina" became an instant favourite among the audience on its release, whereas "Noor-E-Khuda" was appealed by the masses after the film's release since the song was not promoted heavily. = unsourced.

3. Broad in coverage?: Article is not focused, rambles, goes all over the place, no coherent flow for our readers.

4. Neutral point of view?: Article is not neutral. Article fails NPOV. Article has entire Awards sect with zero sources. One sect in Reception notes it had mixed reviews, then fails to give any.

5. Stable?: Article is not stable. Article was itself nominated to GA by IP, that is likely a sock, per above.

6. Images?: File:My Name Is Khan.jpg - this image could have a much better fair use rationale for a film poster.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far.— — Cirt (talk) 06:57, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
