Result: Kept. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:18, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Several citation needed tags throughout the article. Z1720 (talk) 02:53, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Z1720, the tags have been fixed. Was there anything else? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 08:11, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Last sentence in "Early life" and all the entries in "Discography" need a citation. I would also expect filmography and "awards and nominations" to have notable highlights, not just a link to daughter articles. Many references are incomplete as they need author info, sentence case (no words in all caps). Z1720 (talk) 13:45, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Z1720, the issues in your first sentence have been fixed; those in the second and third sentences are not part of the GA criteria. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:48, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "I would also expect filmography and "awards and nominations" to have notable highlights, not just a link to daughter articles." Criteria 3a says "it addresses the main aspects of the topic;" In my opinion, a link to another article is not addressing the topic.
  • "Many references are incomplete as they need author info, sentence case (no words in all caps)." Criteria 2a says "it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline", and the layout style guideline says "Editors may use any citation method they choose, but it should be consistent within an article." For consistency's sake, either the author should always be given, or never given in each citation. I think giving the article is better.
  • While it is correct about the all caps, I would still think that it should be corrected to conform with MOS:ALLCAPS. Z1720 (talk) 14:58, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@AirshipJungleman29: WP:WGN is an essay: it is a statement of opinions not vetted by the community and should not be used as a substitution for policy and guidelines. I also do not suggest linking articles that were last reassessed 7+ years ago as the criteria has gotten more strict as Wikipedia gets older (the recent additions to inline citations and mandatory source spot checks are examples). As for FIXIT: I am reviewing the article and it is not the reviewer's job to fix issues. If they do so, that's great, but it's not an obligation and reviewers should not be asked to fix articles themselves.
That said, I don't mind what you changed in the article by removing those sections and putting them as hatnotes at the top of acting career. The article looks fine now if someone wants to close it as keep. Z1720 (talk) 16:03, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
