The article contains uncited statements, including blockquotes, with citation needed tags dated from 2020 and 2022. The article relies upon two sources as inline citations when there are several sources unused in the Bibliography. Z1720 (talk) 12:48, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delist due to the uncited content but I'm not convinced that the unused sources issue is a problem for GA. The breadth of sourcing requirements standard for GA is quite a bit lower than the comparable FA standard. In this case, I think the two sources Z1720 are talking about are a book-length biography by a notable historian (Day) and then the Australian National Biography entry. Those sources are going to be fairly comprehensive about Fisher's life, so a WP:GACR #3a concern for breadth would require specific missing information and the sources covering it in order to be a real problem. Likewise, there hasn't been any claims either here or in the GA concerns posted on the talk page that any of the unused sources are so important as to be a series issue. I think there really needs to be more specific reasoning given when challenging GA status based on unused sources, rather than just the existence of unused sources. There's no requirement to be a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature for GA like there is at FA. Hog Farm Talk 00:36, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
