GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are outlined below:

There are a lot of one- or two-sentence paragraphs throughout the article. This indicates information that has been added to the article since its GAN and negatively affects readability. This information should be checked to ensure that it is notable for this article and the prose reformatted into longer paragraphs.
The orange "In popular culture" banner needs to be resolved.
The lead does not cover all major aspects of the article.
There is uncited prose throughout the article.

Is anyone willing to address these concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 22:28, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The "in popular culture" section alone makes me cringe. I'd be inclined to delete it entirely. The sheer quantity of WP:PROSELINE (which extends beyond the sections on more recent years) is quite damning. This needs to be rewritten or delisted.
