User:Fernando Cardenas Jr/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
César Franck

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose Cesar Franck because I heard the OU Orchestra play Symphony in D minor and I wanted to do some research on the composer.

Some of the lead is overly detailed. The end of the third paragraph includes all of his pupils which takes away from the article about Franck when the information could be shared in a different section. In the biography section, the article details Franck's father and his backstory when it would be less distracting if it led to a sub article.

In the legacy section, the article praises Franck for "reinvigorating the French symphonic tradition after years of decline." The first paragraph praises him about many things but it does not provide examples so it comes across as biased.

The article also has several quotes and references made without sources. The citations that are listed come from books and journal articles mostly from before 2000. The content could be updated with more up to date sources and include external links that lead to information about Franck, not just scores to his music.

The article has a great draft, but the lack of resources and excessive details keep it from being a well-developed article.
