While there seems to be little to no irrelevant content on the page, I think that the section on his work as pope seems rather small given that he has so many works published and that most of the ecclesiastical section is not focused on religious work, but instead on politics. I also think that the scholarly work section could be improved, moving some of it to the description of his life.

While there are a broad number of sources cited, a few seem to be called upon again and again, finding secondary sources for those entries could be beneficial to supporting the veracity of the claims.

Building on that, in the talk page, there are discussions on how a decent bit of the talk of Sylvester II and his relationship with Islamic scholars is in accurately represented. Unfortunately, this does not seem to a very popular article, much of the discussion is from the early 2000s, with the most recent entries being from 2018, and 2019 with a reply to the 2019 discussion in 2021. Evaluation of the other points should be given.
