Isaac Asimov


I've listed this article for peer review because it has been a featured article before, but it was demoted because it only had 12 citations. It now has 298, so I want to see if it's ready to be nominated for FA status again, or what other improvements would be advisable first.

I'm a big fan of Asimov; it's nice to see people working on this article. A couple of comments. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 10:53, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I recently came across this chapter on Asimov in Wiley-Blackwell's A Companion to Science Fiction. It's written by John Clute, and his assessment of Asimov's legacy is... dazzlingly negative. After reading it, I came to this article to see if Clute's viewpoint represented the consensus of critics, or if it was a minority view, but I couldn't find much here: the Influence/Legacy section seems rather short. I think we'd need to provide that sort of overview – balancing Clute against what other critics think – of Asimov's impact on the field.
 * From a quick look, there are many citations to primary sources such as Asimov's autobiographies. While they can be useful, you'd want to rely more on secondary sources.
 * I'm not going to do a review on this article, but I suggest that you nominate this for WP:GAN before going to FAC. This will allow you to get additional feedback on the article's quality and improvements before an FA run. Also, since I do not think you have a successful FAC yet, I suggest that you find a FA mentor who can help guide you through the process. Lastly, if you have not already done so, I suggest reviewing articles at FAC now; this will help familiarise yourself with the FA criteria and give confidence to other editors that you understand the criteria, thereby increasing the likelihood that your FAC will be reviewed. Many FAC nominations are archived because of a lack of reviewers, so it is beneficial to build up goodwill at FAC now to help get reviewers later. Z1720 (talk) 01:24, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
