Joseph Szigeti[edit]

Notified: K. Lastochka, WP Biography, WP Classical music, WP Hungarian culture, WP Hungary, WP Romania, noticed in early March

Review section[edit]

This early 2008 promotion does not meet current FA sourcing expectations. There is significant uncited text, including almost the entire New music section. Additionally, multiple sections are sourced entirely to almost entirely to the subject's autobiography, which is also concerning from a sourcing perspective.

Delist from FA status as per nomination. The article is also unsatisfactory in that it includes extensive comments of a WP:ESSAY-nature, reflecting the editor's views but not substantiated by third-party sources (e.g. "This comment illustrates well the general nature of Szigeti's reception by both critics and fellow musicians", "Perhaps Szigeti's most fruitful musical partnership was with his friend Béla Bartók", etc.)--Smerus (talk) 09:47, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I know that articles aren't supposed to be "delisted" or "kept" at this stage, but this might be one of the ones we can put through the process more quickly. It would perhaps require a near-complete rewrite and basically a complete source overhaul. Aza24 (talk) 18:57, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Move to FARC, accelerated process - per above comments, the sourcing on this one will require a top-to-bottom rewrite, so this one is likely a good candidate to accelerate. So much work would need to be done that a fresh FAC would probably be the best route. Hog Farm _Talk 20:38, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

FARC section[edit]

Issues raised in the review section include sourcing and original research. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:37, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delist, accelerated process - no engagement and requires a complete sourcing overhaul. Hog Farm _Talk 22:22, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delist, accelerated: out of 51 footnotes, 23 are to secondary sources and the rest are to Szigeti's autobiography. This article needs a complete overhaul. Z1720 (talk) 22:52, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delist. Tagged for unsourced statements and original research. DrKay (talk) 13:07, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Closing note: This removal candidate has been delisted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please leave the {{featured article review}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:14, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
