Julie d'Aubigny redux[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 11 Jul 2020 at 16:47:20 (UTC)

Original – Julie d'Aubigny (1670/1673–1707), a.k.a. Mademoiselle Maupin. In a dramatic life with many lovers, she created several rôles in notable operas - as well as having the contralto voice type in opera created for her (if our article on Tancrède is to be believed), and inspired a book by Théophile Gautier.
Reason
It's passed Commons, and, as far as I can tell, only didn't pass here a month ago because of a low point of participation around the time of its last nomination. More information at that nomination.

  • Comment I think it would be a good thing to sort out the citations etc. first. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:00, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Charlesjsharp: I'd say that's less of an issue at FPC, and more of something that needs done before POTD. Given we're in the middle of COVID-19, and libraries are closed, I think it's reasonable to kick that down the road a bit. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.2% of all FPs 14:14, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • Quite a few lines in the article seem anecdotal. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:17, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • Agreed, but this is FPC, not GAC. Definitely something to be worked on, but I think an FP can be used to drive people to articles to improve them, so am not too worried about them if they're above a certain level.
