Review section
I am nominating this featured article for review because the article relies on one source for citations, while there are numerous unused sources listed in the References section. Numerous paragraphs are uncited. Article focuses too much attention on ancient history and contains very little information about post-19th century events. Z1720 (talk) 15:03, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Move to FARC, nothing happening. Hog Farm Talk 13:44, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Delist I do not know why the nomination statement says this article "relies on one source for citations", as that is not the case. Nonetheless, it does have the problems laid out on talk, and they have not been addressed.  Recent scholarship has not been consulted either.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  09:16, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delist - doesn't seem to include recent scholarship, agree with the talk page comments that recent history could be beefed up, and ideally Willard would be used less. Hog Farm Talk 16:08, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
