Henry Moore

Review section
I am nominating this featured article for review because of concerns about the quality of the sources. Many references are to museum websites and news articles, while numerous books from high-quality publishers are listed in Further reading, unused as references in the article. Furthermore, a search on various databases produced several academic journals which could also replace the lower-quality sources currently used as references. No one responded to my talk page notice, so here we are. I am hoping that this can be ready for a TFA run on Moore's 150th birthday (July 30). Z1720 (talk) 15:55, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree that there are issues with comprehensiveness and sourcing: in particular I would expect reference to Christa Lichtenstern's Henry Moore: Work, Theory, Impact (available on archive.org), and discussion of Moore's drawings outside of the Shelter drawings (possibly with reference to the 2019 Henry Moore Drawings: The Art of Seeing exhibition catalogue). There are also half a dozen citation needed tags that need resolving, and the citations are not consistently formatted.
 * I'd be happy to help work on this if others are keen, but I haven't done much serious wikipedia content work so far this year and I don't really have the enthusiasm to make a big project of this. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 18:04, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I feel similar to Caeciliusinhorto; I like Moore somewhat, but it wouldn't be enough to go full blown on saving. BTY, also agree that this FAR is needed. Ceoil (talk) 01:16, 7 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Move to FARC with the hopes that work does begin on this one later, but work has not begun and there's a general consensus of comprehensiveness/sourcing issues here. Hog Farm Talk 13:45, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Move to FARC, per Hog Farm. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  22:40, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Delist - some MOS editing happening, but the larger, more serious issues have not been touched. Hog Farm Talk 13:45, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delist the sourcing and comprehensive concerns have not been addressed yet, and I think it will take a lot to bring this back to FA status. Z1720 (talk) 14:50, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delist, issues unaddressed. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  12:28, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delist, alas. Needs serious, fundamental (coverage, sources) work. Ceoil (talk) 16:08, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
