Featured article review/Werner Mölders/archive1

I am nominating this article for A-Class review because I don't believe it currently meets the criteria of Milhist A-Class and should be delisted. Specifically, the article really should rely heavily on Braatz (the most recent bio), not earlier biographies like Obermaier and Held, and the inadequate handling of the controversial aspects of Mölders' story let the article down in terms of recent scholarship (A1) and comprehensiveness (A2) respectively. It needs a concentrated effort to bring it up to A-Class standard in those areas, and there hasn't been the required level of effort being committed to improving it during or since its delisting as a Featured Article. For info, the 2009 ACR is now here. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:21, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delist for the same reasons it was delisted at FAR. These issues have been sitting around for months/years and have not been fixed. b ui dhe (formerly Catrìona) 10:38, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delist for the reasoning outlined above. Zawed (talk) 07:31, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delist My comments in the FAR discussion haven't been entirely addressed. As the outstanding items include some significant issues (for instance, the paragraph starting with "According to Viktor Mölders, his brother had saved Georg Küch" details a story which it is then briefly noted is considered dubious by the German Armed Forces Military History Research Office), I don't think that this article meets the A-class criteria either. If the puffery was to be removed and the article reworked using only solid sources it should be possible to bring this to a high standard given that there seems to have been considerable serious writing over the years on Mölders, his role in Nazi propaganda and how he is remembered.

Note: I am going to list this for closing shortly given it has been open for two weeks and there is a strong consensus to delist and none opposing. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 03:46, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
