This is a very old promotion which is in poor condition. The article is at most a summary of (some) of Power's career, and misses out a lot of detail. It also fails on such basic details as his birth. Over time I have added to the infobox of this article, not truly looking at the state of the main text. The contrast is clear.

The sources used are poor, ignoring almost all modern scholarship. I am not one to deride older sources if they are useful, but many of the sources here are nineteenth century, and not even his Oxford Dictionary of National Biography entry is used, never mind any other literature. I also take into account the reliance on original research and primary sources in requesting this reassessment; the most-referenced source in the article is an archive of papers.

I will look to re-write this article, as it deserves, but do not have the time to do so in one sitting. It should in the meantime not keep its Good Article status. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 18:37, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
