Robert Boyle was a good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Is this supposed to indicate that Boyle was a Cavalier (i.e. as opposed to a Roundhead), an adherent of Charles I? From the context it appears so. I couldn't find any other references to this in relation to Boyle. Since, as I say, it does appear to relate to the Cavaliers, why is it given in the French form here? No source is cited so checking isn't possible either. To be honest, that entire paragraph is written slightly oddly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.78.132 (talk) 00:01, 2 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your attention. Despite its presence unmodified in the article for 14 years, this passage is of extremely dubious provenance, added by a disreputable IP editor, and so I have removed it for lack of a reliable secondary source, with no prejudice to re-adding if such a source is turned up.

Not done: We shouldn't link a book for further reading if it hasn't yet been published; and even if it is from OUP, I'd like to wait for some form of review about this book to ascertain how useful it is. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 21:53, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
The book by Banchetti-Robino has now been published (by OUP in 2020) and widely reviewed by top scholars for top journals in the field (for example, by Alan Chalmers for 'Foundations of Chemistry', by L.S. Keating for the 'Journal of the History of Philosophy', by Antonio Clericuzio for 'Ambix', by William Eaton for 'History of Philosophy of Science', and Ashley Inglehart for 'Isis'). It is now regarded as the definitive study of Robert Boyle's chemical philosophy and 'Studies for the History and Philosophy of Science' is currently devoting a book forum to this book.

Again - Northern Ireland has zero relevency here as it did not exist for over 200 years after Boyle's death, and whether or not some people find "Anglo-Irish" offensive is neither here nor there. George Stoney was born 200 years after Boyle and wasn't part of a family that had just (same generation 'just') colonised Ireland to keep the native Catholic Irish under their boots. Stop ignoring the facts here - including that of Boyle being an English subject, born to an English father and a Anglo-Irish mother. Your chemestry teacher did not "insult" anyone or anything and your anger is utterly misplaced. You are simply reashing the same arguments to no effect, and I am done here. Go do something more productive as I will no longer be responding. . --SinoDevonian (talk) 20:57, 21 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Why can't you answer me, as to what makes someone Irish or not? As far as my racist chemistry teacher is concerned, he thinks he is in the clear. He is from England, he does not realize there are other demographics besides being Irish that his remarks could offend.

Liam Neeson does not identify as Anglo-Irish. Why should Robert Boyle? K00la1dx (talk) 07:32, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
TNO has clearly spelled out to you why Boyle should not be considered Irish alone, yet you chose to ignore him/her and continue ranting about your chemistry teacher. Also, unlike what you claimed on Reddit, you were not nor have you ever been banned. --2A00:23C4:3E44:2C01:6579:B3:4C4D:50C7 (talk) 13:20, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Re “ genes, which are actually contained in the semen” accuracyedit

Genes are contained in the egg as well. This is equally important. 22 chromosomes each plus an x or Y chromosome. I don’t think skin complexion has been isolated to “semen” or the Y chromosome specifically as the science stands today. It’s underway. Google “which genes control skin color” Dbuckleywiki (talk) 02:16, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
