Hi! I am V.B.Speranza, and I'll be conducting your GA review. I will see if the article passes good article criteria. V.B.Speranza (talk) 12:54, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Structure
- Right off the bat I see that the first paragraph is huge, maybe try to transfer some information to other topics or create new ones. I also suggest adding more paragraphs, but that might be just my personal opinion. Please check WP:MOSLAYOUT to fix this and other structure related problems.
- I'm a tad confused. On my computer the first paragraph in the lead is three lines. APK hi :-) (talk) 04:26, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Did you mean the entire lead? Yeah, it is quite long. I can try to trim it down. APK hi :-) (talk) 06:58, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @APK: Sure, you don’t need to add sources on the lead, however your lead occupies one third of the entire article… also, if not a lot of sources are available it may either fail GA due the article becoming to short or failing the coverage topic of the six good article criteria. Please check if the author of refs 10 and 11 has any connection with Angel. V.B.Speranza (talk) 21:31, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @V.B.Speranza: I haven't seen anything that would connect Marco Aquino to Angel Rodriguez-Diaz. Did you see something that was of concern? How many additional sources are you looking for? APK hi :-) (talk) 03:35, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @APK: I was just wondering why he wrote about the same guy on two different platforms years apart, have you fixed the other problems?
- V.B.Speranza (talk) 21:40, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @V.B.Speranza: I trimmed the lead a few days ago. In regards to the number of sources, I don't see anything in the GA criteria that lists a minimum number. The ones I've used in this article cover the main aspects of his life. Any other sources I've come across are either not reliable or repetitious of the current ones. APK hi :-) (talk) 04:43, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I have some doubts regarding notability, since I don’t know much about that, I’ll be requesting a 2nd opinion to review these issues. V.B.Speranza (talk) 17:47, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sources
- The entire article has over 2000 words but only 12 sources? And I also find it strange that the same person wrote citations number 10 and 11. The massive 4 inicial paragraphs are 2/5 of the article but contain 0 sources, this needs to be fixes ASAP.
- There isn't an abundance of reliable sources for this particular artist. I used what I could find. I've always been told the lead doesn't need sources if the content is sourced in the body of the article, and have had GA's put on hold because of that. In regards to the author in citations 10 and 11, can you specify the issue that needs to be addressed? APK hi :-) (talk) 04:26, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The phrase «An article in the San Antonio Current said Rodriguez-Diaz "attracted international attention for his ability to combine technical proficiency with political and social commentary to create an instantly recognizable visual style."» unsourced

- « Rodriguez-Diaz's interest in art started at a young age when he would watch his mother draw on a notebook. When he was around seven or eight, one of Rodriguez-Diaz's cousins gave him drawing pads, charcoal, and kneaded erasers. In seventh grade, he won a contest for his painting of José de Diego, his first portrait. During his teen years, he focused on his studies and art as an escape from dealing with his mother's illness.» unsourced

2nd opinion
It is very concerning that multiple paragraphs are not cited. Infobox is needed, but structure wise this is fine. I assume this is WP:OR, and will be quickfailing this. 48JCL[citation needed][dubious – discuss] 23:08, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I will leave some comments before I fail: 48JCL[citation needed][dubious – discuss] 23:11, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- actually, don’t really have any comments other than the sourcing issues. 48JCL[citation needed][dubious – discuss] 23:12, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Lead
Lead is very short, which is a pretty big concern considering how long this article is.48JCL[citation needed][dubious – discuss] 23:13, 4 June 2024 (UTC) try to expand it to around 2-3 paragraphs.[reply]
