[edit]This featured article review is one of six procedural nominations, as considerable issues have been found in other Featured articles by the same nominator. Thus the article needs to be immediately reassessed. The original nominator is blocked. Note that this does not necessarily mean that it is not up to standard, but that it needs to be checked.

- Move to FARC, similar to other articles by the same nominator, the first thing I checked had problems. I checked the first line of the Personal life section: "In 1967, Caspersen married Barbara Warden Morris, the daughter of Samuel Wheeler Morris Jr. (1918–1995) and Eleanor May Jones (1919–2011), one of Philadelphia's socially prominent Main Line families.[2][26]". The Vanity Fair article does say he married a Barbara Warden Morris in 1967, but the Philadelphia Inquirer article does not say that Barbara Morris was the daughter of Sam and Eleanor, rather refers to a Barbara who was Sam's mother. Very confusing, indicating a lack of research. Talk:Finn M. W. Caspersen#Attorney's letter is interesting. Considering other articles by this nominator with hoaxes, it doesn't seem we should need to keep looking. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 09:32, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC, per Sandy. This one had given me a bad feeling about sourcing for months; never got around to looking into it. Not surprised that sourcing issues are present. Hog Farm Talk 14:01, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC per Sandy. Z1720 (talk) 17:11, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
