Johann Sebastian Bach
This is a great article on a very important musician. -- Tony Jin | (talk) 00:00, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Personally, I don't think it's comprehensive enough to be featured. But don't count that as an object. Everyking 00:13, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. Decent biography, nearly nothing about his music. - Fredrik | talk 00:26, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. Needs a discussion of his music in its historical context (i.e., Baroque is only mentioned in the lead and in the category listing). --DanielNuyu 03:43, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. No references.  This should be a featured article, but it will take time to get it to that level. Mark1 07:10, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. An article about such a significant musician should have a lead section longer than two sentences. Discussion of Bach's work and its critical reception should be more extensive than that presented in the Legacy section. The Further Reading section should be renamed to References if all of these were used to write or check the article. Otherwise, move the ones that were used to a References section. Specific anecdotes should be referenced directly. Phils 10:02, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. Lead is too short, no references (see Cite sources), remove external links from main body (see Footnotes).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 10:08, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. Far from comprehensive. Tobyox 17:23, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)
