Overall
[edit]This article is far from meeting the good article requirements as of right now. The nominator should first familiarize himself with those. To begin with, it is far from being "Broad in its coverage" as it lacks main aspects of any GA of a song. The article is not "Well written" as the "Cover versions and media appearances" seems like a grocery list. the "Composition" section could use a sample and be re-written and I'm sure more can be found on the topic with a quick search on the web.
The "Chart performance" is too short for this song which peaked at number one in several countries and top ten in many more and only addresses the US Hot 100. There is a awards section that is missing a source for every nomination and award. The "Credits and personnel" and the "Release history" section are not written in prose. There is no "Critical reception" regarding the "music" part of the song or even a "Formats and track listings" one. Despite the video being a key factor in this song the paragraph regarding it is too long and with very little to no sources backing it up. The references are not well-formated as some are missing work, access-date and authors.
In the end, this article is a quick fail as it's far from anything that a GA article stands for. I hope the nominator doesn't take this personally but I strongly advise him to see and read FA and GA articles so it can meet the GA criteria easily and get familiarized with the criteria of GA articles and what they stand for. Furthermore, the fact this is classified as a start article says a lot. Quick-fail. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 01:35, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
