Result: Delisted. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:35, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The "structure" and "the sonatas" sections of this 2008 GA are near-completely unverifiable, with inline referencing seemingly haphazard in the extreme, failing GA criterion 2.

If someone does have relevant literature to hand, however, this will probably be a rather quick fix. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:36, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Curiously, the GA reviewer thought it was WP:OR back in 2008, but declared it passed anyway. Since they were probably completely correct in their opinion about how the article was written – by a knowledgeable editor, i.e. relying only indirectly on sources for those sections, a fix would likely mean rewriting the offending parts.

OR is definitely an issue. More specifically, there's quite a bit of essay like synthesis. And even if such information can be more reliably sourced/presented (which is doubtful), it must be too specific for an encyclopedic overview article. Aza24 (talk) 20:49, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
