I will review this article. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 09:30, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The sourcing on this article is a major concern. A paragraph which doesn't end with a citation is usually not a good sign, and claims like Louise Françoise and Françoise Marie were especially competitive, despising any increase in status or rank that the other, or any of her children, might achieve certainly need citing. Further, many of the sources that the article does use are questionable:

French Wikipedia is not a reliable source and we cannot cite it
Why is partylike1660.com a reliable source?
Why is enviedhistoire.canalblog.com a reliable source?
Several references are to books without any page number: these really need page numbers for verification
"Ib Spanheim, Ezechiel" is not sufficient information to find the source - can we have at least a title and date?

There are a few places where the article is pretty confusing: the worst offender is the paragraph beginning In the year after her birth, another sibling joined Louis-Auguste, Louis-César, and Louise Françoise at their residence in Paris, which is in dire need of a rewrite.

I hate to say this, but I agree with Caeciliusinhorto. I've been gnoming around articles about the French royal family at this time, and Louise Françoise's article is definitely not ready for GA. I suggest that the nominator withdraw the nomination, peruse through some textual sources (i.e. books, which may be written in French), and re-nominate the article when it's ready.

Okay! Thank you so much for taking your time to review this article. I will continue to work on it. Again, thank you! Dialuanny0 (talk) 19:20, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask how to withdraw the nomination? Dialuanny0 (talk) 19:21, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dialuanny0 – I have closed this review as unsuccessful. Do let me know if you would like a second set of eyes on this article before you re-nominate it for GA: I'd be happy to help! Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 21:46, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
