  • Oppose on 1b as there is several items of further reading not cited in the article. If they do not contain additional information about the subject, they should be removed per WP:ELNO#1, otherwise they indicate that the article is not comprehensive. This point was brought up by Sandy Georgia in the peer review but apparently not addressed. (t · c) buidhe 10:40, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Trimmed some of those earlier and now cleaned except urdu poetry reference. :)---Omer123hussain (talk) 12:32, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Organized section "Legacy and influence" as suggested replaced list content into prose format. :)--Omer123hussain (talk) 16:02, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Unfortunately I agree with the commentary from the PR that this is a ways off of FA yet. The article would benefit from a thorough copy-edit, and there appears to be quite a bit of sourcing available not taken advantage of here - Kugle's work in particular.

  • It would seem that this needs a little further work before it is FAC ready. This will need to be carried out off FAC before resubmitting. There will be the usual two-week pause before another nomination can be made. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:02, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
