GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

Small note on organization for your review and feedback. Everything else is looking great for promotion.

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

Consider the organization of information around personal life vs music life. I see you have kept everything in chronological order, however perhaps bringing up On March 10, 1919, Donch died ... He had six children, all of whom became musicians. would be better placed up within the Biography. Along with becoming a naturalized citizen, could all be placed in the first paragraph.

It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check.
a (reference section): b (inline citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
Well sourced through newspapers of the time. Great structure for pulling together separate accounting of their life.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Focused while exploring life, career, and historical relevance.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

@Matthew Yeager: Oh, good catch. I like keeping the death at the very end of bios, but you're right that the other biographical information can be moved within the first paragraph - done. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 01:33, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
