Sources and promotional

edit

1. The article has few if any third party sources. Larry makes media appearances but few seem to want to profile him directly. I checked newspapers.com and several Florida newspapers have run profiles on him which would be key articles to use for this. 2. The article reads like something promotional.

Both issues need to be addressed. Harizotoh9 (talk) 04:31, 15 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Ineligible; did not meet expansion requirements.

  • Comment: I completely re-wrote the article so it's effectively a new article. Sources are two print newspaper sources but Florida Today doesn't have an online archive, so I added a Tampa Bay one as well. Harizotoh9 (talk) 03:18, 24 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

5x expanded by Harizotoh9 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:14, 24 February 2021 (UTC).Reply

  •   Sorry, but it's not eligible, as there was no 5x expansion. The article was moved to draft space on February 21, and moved back to mainspace 25+12 hours later. The version of the article before your first edit on February 14 was 7610 prose characters, but it's currently 7126. Thank you for your work on the article, but Rule A4 says: "Fivefold expansion is calculated from the previously existing article, no matter how bad it was (copyvios are an exception), no matter whether you kept any of it". If you get it to good article status, you may resubmit within seven days of that designation. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 20:00, 26 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

FBI Most Wanted List claim

edit

Is there any evidence to back up the claim of Lawton being on the FBI Most Wanted besides his own claim? The cited article seems to quote Lawton directly. He's not listed on FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, 1990s, nor the FBI's own website. Estreyeria (talk) 21:03, 31 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
