Result: Kept. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:37, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced passages, some fancruft in some book summaries. Z1720 (talk) 18:17, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decrufted, there wasn't much. There are only 9 unreffed passages, mostly short, so GAR seems a bit drastic really: the article is in good shape. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:33, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of works section is almost completely uncited (films section has an orange "citations needed" banner) and there are still sections in the main article that are uncited. Z1720 (talk) 17:40, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Z1720 A list of works (titles, dates) is already a list of citations. Nevertheless, I've cited all the books. Half the films were cited already, I've cited the rest now. The one short uncited section on In Evil Hour I've rewritten and cited. The remaining minor bits I've variously removed, rewritten, and cited. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:32, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  Looks to my eyes like we're good here now? Coming at this from fresh, I'm not seeing any referencing or cruft concerns, and the article looks generally pretty good. There's a few areas where it might be polished up, but I can't see a GA delisting on the cards. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 13:05, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
