Review section
editI am nominating this featured article for review because of Extraordinary Writ's talk page comment a month ago. The issue is that the article is not well researched or comprehensive due to over-reliance on self-sourcing at the expense of scholarship into Fox's life.

- I agree with this analysis. Sourcing can't be slacked on, especially for a FA. Sawyer-mcdonell (talk) 03:17, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Swarthmore, Haverford, and Pendle Hill have published a wide-variety of books on the subject and it looks like nothing from any of them used. Those publishers are just from Friends General Conference and don't even cover the points of view of the more conservative Central Yearly Meeting of Friends. The legacy section in particular is lacking since there are still Friends around the world. (COI note: I am a Quaker) --Guerillero Parlez Moi 18:16, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC: no significant improvements; the sourcing and comprehensiveness issues that I identified in the talk-page notice haven't been addressed. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 21:21, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC, a sourcing overhaul is needed, and not being undertaken. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:27, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC, reliant on subject's personal writings at the expense of more modern scholarship. Hog Farm Talk 15:15, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delist- sourcing needs work, no improvement. Hog Farm Talk 14:52, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi FARC, I just took a peek at the latest on the FAR list, as I need to just wait while editor requires time to work on sections of the Joan of Arc article, which is my current project. I saw Mr. Fox here about to go through the delisting, and teetering on the edge. Though the resources available to me look thin, I think it's do-able. I'm willing to take this article on, as long as you are okay that my recently-slowed editing pace. Would this adoption be okay, or should he just go the way of the delist?

- I, at least, am okay with waiting. Striking delist. Hog Farm Talk 03:37, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- My start on George Fox will be delayed. Joan of Arc suddenly needs a bit of attention. I'm hoping to get started here within two weeks. Wtfiv (talk) 23:43, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- Wtfiv, are you still intending to work on this? Nikkimaria (talk) 02:46, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Nikkimaria, I think I'd enjoy this topic. But realistically, non-Wikipedia issues have grabbed my time and I doubt I'll be able to get to it within the month. What little time I have should be just cleaning up the Joan of Arc article. So maybe it is just best to delist it for now. Thanks for checking up on this.

- Delist, sadly, per Wtfiv. Hog Farm Talk 15:52, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist, back to delist, per Wtfiv. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:09, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist hope this can be improved and brought back to FAC in the future. (t · c) buidhe 18:24, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
