OlifanofmrTennant, thank you for working on this article and bringing it to GAN, but it doesn't look to be ready for nomination just yet. The article currently uses a WP:PROSELINE structure and seems more like a disjointed set of facts rather than an encyclopedic treatment. The career section needs some restructuring before it meets the "well-written" criterion; MOS:PARA is also relevant here. The personal life section might benefit from some tightening as well.
The article could also benefit from more content to meet the requirement of broad coverage: after reading the career section, I still don't know much beyond what roles he played and when. I suggest comparing the article's career section with the one at Matt Smith#Career. The latter still has some list-like descriptions, but it reads more smoothly and places the sequence of events in context. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
