• My reason for bring this up to for review is mainly Good Article Criterion 2: "Is it factually accurate and verifiable?" There are numerous biographical claims lacking inline citations (or apparent presence in any listed sources), and most of the citations are in fact primary sources that merely indicate existence of a work, but do not necessarily support the claims in the accompanying text (the fact that his works appear in Ziegfeld Follies of 1913 per IBDB does not verify he "began writing songs" in 1912. The text reads largely as written by someone with intimate yet incompletely documented knowledge of the subject, crafting an original narrative by connecting primary sources, and statements like "thus he would have not been able to..." read like improper synthesis. I've added a few references to aid in verification, but further sources and scrutiny is needed. In my view, this does not meet Good Article Criteria now, nor did it in 2011. --Animalparty!

  Hi Animalparty!, this has been open for awhile now, would you like to close it? CMD (talk) 16:25, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

  @Animalparty: I feel this has been abandoned. If there is no response in the next few days I will close it as such. Aircorn (talk) 01:56, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

• Was just going to close this as abandoned, but seeing as there are verification issues I will close it as delist. Aircorn (talk) 09:03, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
