*'''Keep'''. The article makes use of [[Wikipedia:Summary style]], per criteria 3b. It surpasses the recommended 100 kB per [[Wikipedia:Article size]], with 128 kB of prose, which means it could better use the Summary Style. Unless there is something specific, that is excessive or irrelevant to American Civil War being addressed by the article, it still meets the GA criteria. I don't see any other issues with it.

*'''Keep''' as GA class. The article might be a bit long but it is not excessively so. From my understanding, the American Civil War is a vast subject, so it makes sense to me that the article covering it would need to be large to cover it adequately.

*'''Comment''' Sorry to buck the trend, but I think this could use summary style much better. Fourteen paragraphs on slavery are much more than is needed. The "The Territorial Crisis and the United States Constitution", "Emancipation during the war" and "Victory and aftermath" sections are also far too long. These sections could be split into content fork articles relatively easily and linked with a {{tl|main}} template. The are probably notable enough to be articles in their own right. To me, in its current state, this easily fails 3b (focus). [[User:Aircorn|AIR<font color="green">'''''corn'''''</font>]] [[User talk:Aircorn|(talk)]] 07:35, 27 June 2012 (UTC) |

This article is extremely long, and needs to be reduced in size. Editors come here, add material that belongs on pages covering more specialized topics, and the excess material remains while continuing to build up. Specifically, the article is not in compliance with Good Article criteria 3b (it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail). An article like this cannot be regarded as a Good Article. Quarkgluonsoup (talk) 21:39, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

- Well you need to be rather more specific, section by section enumerate where material is not compliant with the [[good article criteria. You should also notify the reviewer and primary contributors. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:10, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
