I am nominating this featured article for review because it has been tagged for unsourced statements for over 2 years, and has paragraphs of uncited text. The prose includes short, stubby paragraphs and concerns about the reliability of sources were raised on the talk page over 3 and a half years ago. DrKay (talk) 15:43, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Barkeep49

I would agree with the concerns expressed by DrKay. While I might be able to do some work on fixing the prose, I will not be able to do the work necessary to really address the issues with text citation and agree it falls below our FA standard.

If someone is actively working to retain/restore status, time is always given; please keep this page posted on your progress. (See the FAR instructions, FARs are not segmented, and it is assumed that work will proceed on article talk, with updates to here.) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:31, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Two weeks and no evidence of progress or anyone working here: diff since nomination. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:03, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Pinging Midnightblueowl and Prhartcom, who got other Tintin articles to FA status. FunkMonk (talk) 16:58, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Issues raised in the review section include prose and sourcing. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:50, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delist. Unsourced paragraphs. Single sentence paragraphs. DrKay (talk) 20:57, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist for the same reasons highlighted by DrKay. This is not an FA quality article. Midnightblueowl (talk) 17:17, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist: I agree with the reasons highlighted above. I would also like to add that the article still uses an unreliable source (MobyGames) so that takes away from the FA quality too. Aoba47 (talk) 19:56, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist, improvements not happening. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:37, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Closing note: This removal candidate has been delisted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please leave the {{featured article review}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:29, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
