The last proper review was over 8 years ago, but had some salient points about breadth and sourcing. The article is larger now (25k characters of prose vs 16k at the time) but I still have concerns about breadth. Paragraph 4 under "Musical career" announces that he released his twenty-third album - and yet no previous albums are discussed or even mentioned. Multiple later years are simply written off as "he toured in X Y and Z countries". The film career section is also quite underbaked.

The article is deeply disorganized, going from his early career to a large paragraph about his reputation as France's Sinatra, then short paragraphs on a few albums from the 70s, then a large paragraph about his numerous collaborators, then back to more albums and tours. It makes zero logical sense.

There are several {{citation needed}} tags, including one for a sentence that accuses someone of being a heroin addict (I'll remove this in a second). There are tons of formatting issues (like incorrectly using italics instead of quotation marks for songs). The musical career section desperately needs subsections. The activism and legacy sections are lists in prose format and need to be improved. The death section doesn't need 5 refs to say he died.

I haven't even checked the sources at this point. Overall, it's clear this article isn't anywhere close to meeting the GACR in its current state, and it can only be a quickfail. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:20, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As a side note in case this comes up at GAN in the future, I checked the article with Earwig and the sources appear to be copying from us, not the other way around, so there are no English-language copyvio issues despite the large percentages that Earwig gives. Can't speak to anything not in English at this time however. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:44, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
