Les Oréades by William-Adolphe Bouguereau

... that most of William-Adolphe Bouguereau's arts are female nudes and Les Oréades (pictured) is one of those? Source: "Most of his paintings have a special emphasis of the nude female form of human body, therefore The Oreads painting is no exception!" WilliamBouguereau.org

Comment Badly needs a prose clean-up, & some calming down. The painting is not meaningfully "Neoclassical". Johnbod (talk) 13:16, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnbod: Done, prose cleaned-up. JeBonSer ^{(talk | sign)} 07:29, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ: None required.

Overall: I am concerned about the "WilliamBouguereau.org" reference (currently ref 2). The site is described as a "personal website", not affiliated with a reputable organization or museum, an author is not given, and the site seems to be a store for buying prints of the painter's work. Therefore, I do not think it is a reliable source. Reliable sources can be found at WP:LIBRARY, Google Books and Google Scholar; I suggest that the author looks in those databases, expands the article, and suggests some new hooks. If this is completed relatively quickly I will be happy to re-review the article. Let me know if you have any questions. Z1720 (talk) 01:23, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

JeBonSer's talk page shows five DYK credits; a QPQ will be required. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:59, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@JeBonSer: to ensure they've seen the above comments. Z1720 (talk) 17:18, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The hook says "most of William-Adolphe Bouguereau's arts are female nudes", but "art" is not usually used as a count noun. It would be better to say that most of his "paintings" are female nudes. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:08, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@JeBonSer: It's been almost a month since I left my review, with follow-up pings and talk page messages about this nom. I'm going to mark is as failed here, but if JBS returns and comments in the coming days, I'm happy to reopen this nom. Z1720 (talk) 01:32, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
