Reasons for verdict and suggestions:

• Category 2a - Although mostly well referenced, there were a few glaring omissions, the most important ones being information from the infobox. For example, D.O.B, place of birth and height. The very first paragraph of the lead is completely unreferenced. The infobox states that club scores and appearances are correct as of a certain date, but where has this information come from?
• Category 2a (2) - The second paragraph in "Under-age career" (In 1988, Canavan won the Ulster minor Championship, but lost in the All-Ireland semi-final to Kerry. Canavan captained Tyrone to two All-Ireland Under-21 Football Championships (U-21) titles in 1991 and 1992, having been on the team which lost the 1990 final, again to Kerry.) is unreferenced
• Category 2a (3) - "...the two perfectly matched teams were heading for a draw..." - in whose opinion was that the teams were perfectly matched?

On the whole, this article is pretty much fine. The prose flows well, the article mostly meets WP:MoS (to WP:WIAGA standards anyway) and covers most of the man's life and career. It's mostly NPOV, with noted criticism about his indiscipline. Although not critical for GA status, if that could be expanded on, it would be welcome. The article is stable, and all images have fair use rationale and are used well.

The issues I've noted are minor and I'm sure you'll have this sorted within 2 rather than 7 days. I will be back in 7 days to re-review the article to pass or fail it. If the article has been improved in the meantime, in the areas I've mentioned and you feel it now meets GA standard, drop a note on my talk page and I'll come as soon as reasonably possible to re-review. Good luck and happy editing! Mouse Nightshirt | talk 22:42, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Having re-reviewed the article, I now believe it meets GA standards. Congratulations! Mouse Nightshirt | talk 13:15, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
