- Nominator(s): Laganrat
This article is about... One of English (German born) Baroque composer George Frideric Handel's greatest works. The article is excellent, providing background, explaining the details of each concerto, it's influenced and how it was influenced, etc. I think it is a good candidate for featured article status.
- Oppose sorry: it's got massive chunks unsourced, loads of MOS issues, particularly with images, a mix of referencing styles, all which is notwithstanding that the nominator, with only 164 edits, should gain more experience about the featured article process before nominating again. They have also never edited the article either. Sorry chap! It was a bloody nice idea though! ——SerialNumber54129 17:44, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose as above. Well below FA standard. If you like the piece and want to see it as the best work we have, start by slowly building it up to GA level, learning how to source, reference and wikify your prose as you do so. - SchroCat (talk) 20:11, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
Coord note -- all good advice above; also consider the FAC mentoring scheme after making improvements and getting through GAN. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 01:54, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
