Result: Delisted. While dead links or poorly formatted citations are not a reason to delist, unreliable sources and unsourced content in particular are an unresolved issue. Feel free to bring this article back to GAN after improving it. (t · c) buidhe 22:33, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Somehow a great Electronic music pioneer deserved to have a good article. Jean-Michel Jarre has done several inventive and innovative things as an electronic musician, and he even earned a Guinness World Record for largest concert attendance ever. I'm an electronic music fan, I really love Jean-Michel Jarre. Parrot of Doom has done a great job at this article. However, someone else requested a GAR on this thing because it's becoming less fresh as of now. I read this article recently and found that currently, this article has gained issues. The quality is degrading, I want to upgrade it. The prose isn't in a decent shape like in the past, some of the references are dead links and/or not using "cite" templates or something like that, the sections could've been rearranged more, at least it seems like it from this point. Also, some red links are present (some of them have links to foreign-language versions of Wikipedia articles), I am suspicious that some parts need citation integrity, and some refs are unreliable... Well, the current version of the Jean-Michel Jarre article as of writing has to be rewritten entirely to comply with the current GA criteria. Potentially, this must remain a GA in the future. ias:postb□x 12:39, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would say that the writing from the 2000s section and beyond that could be way better. With bad GAs too, the reliable sourcing usually falls off from there. Some instances of his touring could be spun off into a separate article, while his artistry could be elaborated in a different section, readers may like to know who influenced him and such. Edit: Correction, I saw his influences but I still wish to see article arranged more properly. 웃O O 21:08, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I consider making a special sandbox for this article, where I'll make those ideas you suggested. ias:postb□x 00:18, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's been over 10 days since the last time I commented in this GAR here, and hardly anything's happened except for an IP edit making a 2020s section with external hyperlinks and no referential cite templates, and then on that same day a bot reverted it because it's link additions not listed as sources at the bottom of the article. -ias postb□x+ 01:03, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
