Review section

I am nominating this featured article for review because I think it falls well below current standards. It was one of my first featured articles, and was promoted when expectations were quite different, and it hasn't really been kept up-to-date. While some of my older FAs have aged fairly well (I was pleased to get a positive comment about Dungeons & Dragons (album) when it ran on the MP a few weeks ago, despite being promoted back in 2007), some really haven't. I sadly do not have the time to work on the article at the moment, though there is some urgency: It was recently included as a forthcoming TFA: Wikipedia:Today's featured article/November 20, 2018. I don't think that the article is good enough to go on the main page, and so Ealdgyth suggested that I send it here. Josh Milburn (talk) 14:13, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@WP:TFA coordinators I wonder if anything can be done about this? Josh Milburn (talk) 21:34, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@WP:TFA coordinators A final effort. Is there any chance that a different article could be put in place of this one? Josh Milburn (talk) 17:47, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A better spot to discuss TFA selection would be at WT:TFA, where you'll get some outside input. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:59, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Though I know nothing about the subject, FAs about living people are always inherently unstable, and when it comes to someone this young, will become outdated extremely quickly? FunkMonk (talk) 09:31, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article seems to go into a fair amount of detail about certain aspect of their life but seems to dip off in other areas. Featured articles should contain as much encyclopedic content as possible and this falls short on various areas; the biography feels short and just doesn't really go into much further detail than 2018, leaving a rather cliff face at the end of the article, so to speak. I would move for its removal. Eolais | Talk | Contribs

There seems to be quite a bit of unreferenced material here. I think the best option might be to de-list this one, in the hope that it can be improved and re-nominated in the future. Midnightblueowl (talk) 15:12, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Move to FARC. I had hoped TFA would lead to improvements, but that doesn't seem to have been the case. DrKay (talk) 18:20, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delist. Tagged for citation needed. DrKay (talk) 17:07, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delist per insufficient referencing, nothing beyond 2016 (outdated), and the article isn't comprehensive given its general lack of detail on artistry (genres, lyrics, influences). SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 22:30, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delist per SNUGGUMS. --MarchOrDie (talk) 20:55, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
