Oroonoko

• Featured article review/Oroonoko/archive1

Notified: Geogre, WikiProject Books, WikiProject Novels

I am nominating this featured article for review because it fails the featured article criteria, primarily criteria 1c. The article contains numerous unsources statements, with many sections being wholly unsourced.

• The first paragraph if Biographical and historical background - entirely unsourced. All but one sentence of "Fact and fiction in the narrator" - unsourced.
• "Models for Oroonoko" - all but a few sentences, again unsourced.
• "Slavery and Behn's attitudes" - two sentences cited, the rest not.
• "Historical significance" not a single citation.
• "Literary significance" - two cited sentences.
• Three cited sentences in "The New World setting" - the rest not.
• "Character analysis" has one whole cited sentence.
• "Women in Oroonoko" appears to possibly be cited, but with the issues in the rest, I'm inclined to think its only those three sentences that have citations
• "Adaptation" uncited except one sentence.

It also fails criteria 2a - as the lead does not summarize the article adequately, or really at all. The second paragraph focuses on the author's history rather than the novel. It fails 2b in that it lacks the basic novel infobox. Being an older FA (passed in 2005) it does of course lack alt text on all images, though by itself would not be a reason to delist.
