Hi, I'm Mm40 (talk · contribs) and I'll be conducting this review. I'm watching this page, so any replies may be made here. Mm40 (talk) 23:02, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No dead links or dabs—good. Article is stable. No image concerns as there are no images. You should look to attain one; because the subject is dead, if there are no free images available, you may claim fair use on a non-free image.

Please add {{Persondata}}

I added it. Whether I added it correctly or not, I'm not honestly sure. GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reference needed for the "Rudy LaBelle" nickname in the infobox. Also, it may warrant mention elsewhere in the article.

Done. GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think "Candaian" needs to be linked.

Done. GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to mention his ring name in the first sentence.

Done. GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to see more in the lead on his career; did he win any major events? Anything particularly noteworthy happen?

I expanded it a bit by discussing the titles he held in ESA. GaryColemanFan (talk) 22:50, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You may wish to clarify in the lead that IW was a program promoted by ESA.

"competed as a boxer as a teenager" repeats "as a" twice in short succession.

Done. GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence beginning "The ESA, which promoted shows until 1976", although interesting, doesn't seem important to the subject, It would be great if this could somehow be tied in to the rest of the text.

I moved it to later in the article, as it seems more relevant there because it affected one of his championship reigns. GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:23, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"who was known as The Beast" can be taken out as it's already mentioned elsewhere in the section. Also, you may wish to link the other brothers.

Done. GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"inspired by Jean Louis to create" needs a hyphen for Jean Louis

Done. GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"to Jos LeDuc and Paul LeDuc" you might want to drop the first "LeDuc"

Link "The Patriot"?

I spent a long time looking when I was writing the article, but I can't find any conclusive sources on who portrayed The Patriot. It is a gimmick that has been given to a few wrestlers (usually wearing masks). I would have to guess if I were to link it, so I would prefer to leave it alone. GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to mention that 1975 IW North American Heavyweight Championship season ended without notice (coming from the given reference).

Done. GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:23, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've modified Category:Canadian professional wrestlers to be Category:Canadian male professional wrestlers. Not relevant to this article, but you may wish to make this change in other articles about the Cormier family.

A short article, but I'll assume it's about as long as it can be (as wrestling probably didn't get much coverage in Kay's time). Once the above issues are resolved, I'll be glad to pass this article. Cheers, Mm40 (talk) 23:02, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. I have tried to address all of the concerns. Please let me know if anything else needs to be done. GaryColemanFan (talk) 22:50, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work, I'm passing the article. As some suggestions for further improvement, you may want to add alt text to the image and see if there's anything more on his early life (I see the Cormier family page has where they grew up, but more might be more). Thanks for your contributions to the project, and please consider reviewing an article at GAN. Cheers, Mm40 (talk) 13:17, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
