Review section

I am nominating this featured article for review because major sourcing issues were identified by RD on talk but never fixed. In particular, the article cites book-length sources without giving a page number. Also, since there have been entire books written about the guy, it's not clear that the present article is WP:COMPREHENSIVE. (t · c) buidhe 03:31, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

• Move to FARC limited edits to the article since the notice was placed on the talk page in April, sources still need to cite specific page numbers. Z1720 (talk) 15:54, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

FARC section

Issues raised in the review section largely concern sourcing. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:40, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

• Delist. Tagged as needing citations and needing page numbers since January. DrKay (talk) 13:43, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
• Delist minimal engagement since notice was placed on talk page. Z1720 (talk) 19:27, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
• Reluctant delist - I hate to see this go, as the page numbers are the main issue and should be an easy fix if someone has the books (I don't, or I'd do it myself). While I hate to see FAs delisted mainly for concerns like page numbers, yeah, I'd probably oppose a current FAC that didn't include specific page numbers for citations. I was really hoping someone would pick this one up and try to save it. Hog Farm _Talk 03:59, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
