Review section
I have significant concerns about this 2006 promotion, most notably with respect to sourcing. The article directly cites Woodruff's autobiography far more than I'm comfortable with, but more importantly it relies very heavily on various tributes by Peter Morris, who, by his own admission, knew Woodruff "quite well professionally" and "obtained considerable information from" the aforesaid autobiography. As such, the grand majority of this article is sourced either to Woodruff or to his friends—hardly the sort of high-quality sourcing that the criteria demand. Additionally, SandyGeorgia has kindly added several additional sources to the further reading section: the fact that none of them are cited in the article raises comprehensiveness concerns as well. Since neither these issues nor the additional ones mentioned in the talk-page notice (e.g. formatting and original research) have been addressed at all, it's worth considering whether the article should retain its current status.
