Review section[edit]

On 16 May 2020, Eisfbnore commented:

This is a well-written article, on an interesting author. However, I think it could need some tender & loving care. There are MOS and accessibility issues with the long lists of works and awards, as well as low-quality sources, such as IMDb. His more recent history (2010s) is rather poorly presented, with lists of trivial and insignificant incidents. We also have some dead links and poorly formated references. This should be able to amend, although it necessitates editors familiar with the sources.

Alas, there have not been significant edits since then. I should add that "Awards and honors" section is mostly unsourced, and perhaps should be split off into another article. (t · c) buidhe 06:54, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• There are also issues with image copyrights, for example File:Sabatovargasllosa.jpg is not free in the US, as required by WP:Copyright. (t · c) buidhe 06:59, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FARC section[edit]

Issues raised in the review section include style and sourcing. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:59, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delist no improvement. (t · c) buidhe 03:23, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist. The issues listed above are fairly serious, and I see no movement toward fixing them. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:34, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist I see uncited text everywhere and the "Later life..." section ends up in a series of single-line paragraphs. The vast majority of the (extremely lenghthy) Awards section is unsourced. Does not meet FA criteria at the moment. RetiredDuke (talk) 21:07, 11 September 2020 (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) 19:02, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
