Review section
I am nominating this featured article for review because there is lots of information in the lede and infobox that is not included or is not cited in the article body. It also needs a knowledgeable editor to copyedit the article and remove bloating. RetiredDuke left some examples on the talk page in November 2020, which do not seem to have been resolved.

 * Comment - It also cites a few unreliable sources: invisible-movement.net (an unofficial fan site), formspring.me (looks like a web forum), groundguitar.com looks like a blog, and as of the revision current right now there's a cite to Wikipedia. Hog Farm Talk 16:31, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment This one reminds me of how many good music editors we've lost over the years. A lot of them had poor experiences at FAC. -- Laser brain  (talk)  15:46, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment have to agree with the feeling that this article isn't in great shape; I'm seeing a lot of shaggy prose and some missing citations. Popcornfud (talk) 18:15, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Move to FARC, none of the main editors have touched this 2007 promotion in years, one edit since FAR initiated. Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  17:02, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming FAR is working at a more brisk pace these days. I don't mind working on this article but it would be at a leisurely pace. Perhaps it's best to delist it and I can bring it back to FAC some time in the future. -- Laser brain  (talk)  23:50, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Laser, that is very good news. Would you rather keep the FAR open as you work, or delist and re-submit?  FAR is very leisurely these days, so as long as work is ongoing, I suspect the Coords will respect your wishes first.  We all know you can do the job, if you undertake it.

 * Slow progress. I've been comparing the current version with the FAC version and, in some cases, reverting to more preferable text. I've found at least one instance of close paraphrasing from the original version so I've ordered a couple sources. -- Laser brain  (talk)  04:26, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * No gracing the pages of Wikipedia since 20 November :( Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  21:01, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Work strikes at will and without mercy :) -- Laser brain  (talk)  14:11, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * given your RL commitments do you foresee being able to continue work on this, or does it make more sense to proceed to FARC? Nikkimaria (talk) 03:12, 11 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Move to FARC – Since it seems like no effort is currently being made I vote we go ahead and move to FARC. – zmbro (talk) 17:12, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
