Review section

This early 2008 promotion does not meet current FA sourcing expectations. There is significant uncited text, including almost the entire New music section. Additionally, multiple sections are sourced entirely to almost entirely to the subject's autobiography, which is also concerning from a sourcing perspective.

  • Delist from FA status as per nomination. The article is also unsatisfactory in that it includes extensive comments of a WP:ESSAY-nature, reflecting the editor's views but not substantiated by third-party sources (e.g. "This comment illustrates well the general nature of Szigeti's reception by both critics and fellow musicians", "Perhaps Szigeti's most fruitful musical partnership was with his friend Béla Bartók", etc.)--Smerus (talk) 09:47, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes I know that articles aren't supposed to be "delisted" or "kept" at this stage, but this might be one of the ones we can put through the process more quickly. It would perhaps require a near-complete rewrite and basically a complete source overhaul. Aza24 (talk) 18:57, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to FARC, accelerated process - per above comments, the sourcing on this one will require a top-to-bottom rewrite, so this one is likely a good candidate to accelerate. So much work would need to be done that a fresh FAC would probably be the best route. Hog Farm Talk 20:38, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
