Talk:Traian Demetrescu

message: I am concerned about the exclusive use of one source and so I am unwilling to pass this article now. So, I am placing this article  On Hold for 7 days (Friday 7th December 2007) until more sources can be found, used and most probably cited with the  template. Thank you for your co-operation. — Rudget contributions 20:01, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm, I wasn't aware that this was a GAC. I have to say i tend to agree with the assessment: I am going to strive to find more sources, but this may take more than the current nomination deadline. Demetrescu is merely mentioned in readily available sources, and one would have to go looking for printed ones to complete (and perhaps offer alternatives to) what is already in the article. If it helps in any way, Călinescu's book, though it has its flaws, is universally considered the authority on Romanian literary history, at least in what concerns the period between the earliest records and the 1940s (it was never truly revised by him after the 1940s). Unfortunately, from my end, there is little I can do for now to improve it. The same goes for adding pictures: I was able to find some material in that area, but it would require scanning from a rather large book, which I'm afraid is not a priority for me right now. I want to thank the nominator, though. Dahn 20:57, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

text: One question: are the section headers for the poems really necessary? I've never seen them used before, and the text below them is quite self-explanatory (he wrote in Romanian, and anyone here will be able to tell that the right half is in English). Dahn 21:01, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmph. I'll extend the deadline, because I appreciate that it may be hard to find the sources, but 7 days is the absolute maximum - set out by the GAC guidelines. Considering the Romanian and English headers, they're there for one reason, to help break the page (as it's so long, it could become unnecessarily unviewable, especially considering there are no subsections in the Works section). You can remove them if you like, but if you do please make some subsections. Thank you. Best, — Rudget contributions 10:34, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I fully understand the necessity to keep the deadline short, and I have no objection. The problem is that, while I agree that this is not up to GA standards yet (for the reasons you mention), it may take me considerably more than 7 days. I did not actually ask for an extension: meaning that this GAC session might not be enough, and that I'm okay with the article not being promoted at this point. I'll try to improve it in the future for the article's sake (I did not even know until yesterday or so that it was a GAC), and I'll think about renominating it when I'd have addressed your concerns/objections. Of course, there is nothing preventing anyone else from adding sourced material in the meantime, but I would think that this is somewhat unlikely. If it is easier this way, you could consider this a "withdraw nomination" - although I'm not the nominator. Thank you again. Dahn 17:15, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Rudget, there is no real maximum hold period. Being on hold merely informs other reviewers that they need not review this entry as it is being already being evaluated by someone. The whole "on hold" system is rather pointless anyways; it's simplier just to fail it for the time being and immediately re-evalutate it once it gets re-nominiated.--SeizureDog 20:28, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So I should fail this and re-assess it next time. I would love to by the way, it'd be a great article. — Rudget contributions 11:32, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
