  • Comment, not a review. I find this article profoundly unsatisfactory. According to the infobox and lead, Dugué was a poet and playwright. This is not mentioned in the main body of the article which has a 40 year gap from his receiving an unknown honour for an unspecified achievement in 1830 (when he was 14), to a single event in 1870 when he witnessed an army advance. In fact it is a biography with no content about the subject's adult life. The only clue to his being a writer comes in the section "Works". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:13, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
Please look at the French article, - it was translated, and already expanded. I agree that more on his work would be nice. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:44, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
I have added a couple of sentences. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:26, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Full review needed. It should probably take into account the initial comment, which might cause an issue with WP:DYKSG#D7. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:32, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
  • New enough, long enough, neutral, sourced / no close paraphrasing found (assuming good faith with offline French-language sources), all three hooks are sourced, short enough. As a bio of a 97-year-old it is still a bit sketchy, but acceptable. Aymatth2 (talk) 20:48, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
