See talk page: the article is based primarily on two sources, one being an application for his house to be declared a national historic site, and the other being a book that, according to an opera scholar of note (see talk page), is full of disinformation and should not be considered a reliable source on the life and career of Paoli. Lopez also, according to the review, unfortunately did not properly cite his sources, making it difficult to determine what portion of his biography is backed up by primary sources.
Referring also to my comment on the talk page, several assertions in the body of the article are contradicted by existing scholarly literature. A full rewrite of the article based on sources other than the Lopez book and the cursory summary in the NHS application would be necessary if this were to remain a GA, as the Lopez book is unreliable and as it is, the article contains much that is readily contradicted by other scholarly literature. A starting point for improving the article would be to examine period opera publications for information about Paoli. Wannabe rockstar (talk) 19:54, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
