This has three citation needed tags, one from 2014 and two from 2017 (WP:GAFAIL). Beyond the sourcing for those individual statements, that fact demonstrates a lack of attention to detail showing that it was not ready for a GA nomination.

These are, by the way, not the only unsourced statements in the article. Other examples include "Frazetta did war and human interest stories for Heroic Comics", "including a biography of Burt Lancaster", "Following the release of the film, Frazetta returned to his roots in painting and pen-and-ink illustrations.", and several of the album covers. "Little Annie Fanny" has only a primary source, not a reliable secondary source; same for Frazetta Girls company and "Primitive X Frank Frazetta Collab Decks", and some others. I really doubt "deviantART visits Epic Games" or "Robert Rodriguez at the Frank Frazetta Museum" on YouTube count as reliable sources. And some sources appear multiple times as separate footnotes rather than reusing the footnotes. I have not carefully checked that the remaining footnotes accurately cover the material that they appears to be used to source, but when I have done that on other GA nominations (even those that eventually passed) my experience has been that a significant fraction of them needed revision; I suspect that to be true here as well.

The news of the remake of Fire and Ice is reported breathlessly from a 2014 perspective. By now we should know either that the project happened (and what happened to it) or that it was a non-event (and pointless to report). In any case it is not up to date. And in what sense is a list of over 100 paintings "Selected paintings"? (WP:GACR #3b)

What value is added to the article by a snapshot of his granddaughters? (GACR #6b)

If I were not already about to quickfail this I would go through the article more carefully and no doubt find more issues. You should do the same, before re-nominating. These are the sorts of things that should have been noticed and fixed before a GA nomination. You should not have to rely on a GA nominator to tell you to do them. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:42, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
