I am nominating this featured article for review because... The article has a lot of "citation needed" tags, is outdated, and isn't comprehensive enough to be FA. Aside from unsourced statements, the Commemorations and namesake section might need some hand or possibly some paragraph needs to be rewritten. This article is very important to be looked at. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 15:53, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Can you please clarify in what way you feel the article is "outdated"? --Midnightdreary (talk) 16:47, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- The article is simply not comprehensive enough. There are prpbably more scholars that can added to the article. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 20:55, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Just randomly passing through... I think these kinds of critiques need to be much more specific. I'm sure there is recent Poe scholarship, but for a topic like this, we can't include everything, so people need a better sense of what you think is missing.

- Fair enough. I'm not really an expert when it comes to this article. The main reason why I brought this article to FAR was because the article needs some hands. So, I believed other FAR reviewers can point that out. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 01:51, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- I look forward to more specific commentary on what might be missing. So far as I know, the article here is comprehensive and up to date with scholarship. There may be more recent critiques related to his writing, but his biography hasn't changed much. --Midnightdreary (talk) 19:22, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

The Canadian Center for Science and Education "English Language Teaching" journal article needs to go; the Canadian Center of Science and Education is on Beall's List. I don't see why we should be citing crimelibrary.com/truTV in a FA about Poe. The Burns School of Communication piece looks like some sort of undergrad/journalism school web piece; there is going to be much better sourcing available. This needs some general cleaning-up.
