Back in September, I messaged on the talk page about concerns regarding the article. It was promoted to FA last 2007, and has been 17 years since. Now, the article has issues about prose and sourcing. No responses on the talk page. ScarletViolet tc 14:07, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Can you provide more details per WP:FAR, specifically:
Nominators must specify the featured article criteria that are at issue and should propose remedies.
Thanks. —Bagumba (talk) 15:55, 5 November 2024 (UTC)- Some of the paragraphs lack citations. Also, what makes slamduncan.com and jockbio.com reliable sources? ScarletViolet tc 08:45, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- If I look at the current version, every paragraph in the body has at least one citation (and most have more). Sports Illustrated said SlamDuncan.com was his personal website.[1] JockBio had no objections at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 126 § Jockbio.com. —Bagumba (talk) 09:53, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Bagumba: There needs to be a citation at the end of every paragraph, minimum. A citation in the middle of a paragraph does not verify the information that comes after it. Z1720 (talk) 16:27, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Z1720: I didn't see that explictly at WP:FACR, but at least it's an actionable item. —Bagumba (talk) 16:40, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Bagumba: While not explicitly stated, it is covered under 1c. Since this is a BLP, citations to verify information are doubly important. Z1720 (talk) 17:08, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

- Seems like the second bullet raised on the talk page is now resolved, and I'm not seeing any missing citation paragraphs except this one: "In that game, Duncan scored 25 points in the first half, his biggest haul in a half of an NBA Finals game. However, the Spurs lost the game in overtime, and then lost the deciding seventh game.". If someone familiar with the subject matter can replace the jockbio cites and take a look at cleaning up some of the other citations & duplicate links, add address this sentence, that might cover it.
