Unfortunately, I am going to have to quick fail this article as it evidently does not meet the WP:GAC.

For one, the lead does not provide a summary of the subject and ideally, should be much longer to draw the reader into reading the rest of the article.
While there is an appropriate section for references, some do not appear to pass WP:RS; like this and this.
No consistant ref date format: 2009-12-23, then October 27, 1997
No source for "Although there is some debate as to the precise year of his birth, Hawaiian legends claimed that a great king would one day unite the islands, and that the sign of his birth would be a comet." Therefore the heading 'Legendary birth' becomes questionable.
One dead link and a dab link
Prose is generally unorganised and poor; "Kamehameha's dreams included far more than the island of Hawaiiʻi", dreams of what?
Image description is far too long.
Honors could easily be expanded instead of the lazy bullet pointing.

Therefore, I would suggest you take this to WP:PR before deciding to renominate. This is an interesting article but needs more work and better sourcing. Lemonade51 (talk) 17:24, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
