Reviewing.
But this article is very short, consisting of three lines of biographical data together with two redundant listings of his publications (one prose, the other a bulleted list, but with no information in the prose section that couldn't be found in the bulleted list). There is no analysis of the context or effect of his publications, such as could be found in:
- Peurbach and Marāgha Astronomy? The Ephemerides of Johannes Angelus and Their Implications, Jerzy Dobrzycki, Richard L. Kremer, J. Hist. Astron. 1996
- Astrologie als astronomische Ingenieurkunst des Hochmittelalters: Zum Leben und Wirken des Iatromathematikers und Astronomen Johannes Engel (vor 1472-1512), Eberhard Knobloch, Sudhoffs Archiv, 1983
- Note sur Johannes Engel (Angeli) d'Aichach, astrologue et médicin, mort à Vienne en 1512, E. Wickersheimer, Festschrift Max Neuburger, 1928
or even in the Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomy source we currently use, which is already significantly more detailed than our article.
My feeling is that this is too far from GA criterion 3 (broad coverage of the subject) to be a good article at this time.
