Hello! Thank you for nominating this article. I believe you may be the same person I reviewed for at Talk:OpenBSD/GA1. If not, then my mistake. After looking through this article, I will have to quick-fail this nomination as there are a lot of sentences that do not have citations. With these unreferenced sentences, this article is a long way from passing the verifibilaity criteria. Here is an in-depth explanation:

In the history section, the main issue is that two paragraphs ("In 1994, Berkeley graduate students Andrew Yu and Jolly Chen", and "The project continues to make releases available") do not have any citations. With the other paragraphs in the history section, there are some sentences that require citations as well. Of these paragraphs, the POSTGRES paragraph needs citations the most.

Looking at the Storage and replication section, there are many statements that are missing citations. Four of these sub-sections (Schemas, User-defined objects, Inheritance, and Other storage features) do not have any citations to back up these senteces. The other three sub-sections (Replication, Indexes, and Data types) have a lot of unreferenced sentences in their paragraphs.

For the rest of the article: Security, Standards compliance, Platforms, Database administration, and release history all require citations. Of these five sections, the Security section has many parts that needs citations (the "PostgreSQL manages its internal security" paragraph, the bullet points, "The GSSAPI, SSPI, Kerberos, peer, ident and certificate methods" part and "These methods are specified in the cluster's host-based authentication configuration file" part).

Overall: This article requires a lot of citations and therefore is not close enough to pass verifibiliaty for a good article. Of the listed sections I mentioned, the history, security, and storage sections need many citations. This is mainly because of the unreferenced subsections in the storage section and unreferenced paragraphs in the security section. Therefore, I will have to fail this article. Also, I noticed that this nomination is your only edit so far. Per Wikipedia:Good article nominations/Instructions, it is preferable that a nominator should be a major contributor to the article they are nominating. If you wish to renominate this article in the future, feel free to! In order for this article to have a better chance at GAN, these unreferenced sections must be cited with reliable sources. Thank you for your time! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:00, 12 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
