Following in the footsteps of the featured articles on the English British composers
Britten,
Delius,
Elgar,
Holst,
Stanford,
Tippett,
Walton and
Warlock, this article on their colleague and contemporary, Bax, is now a candidate for the FA pantheon. It has had the benefit of a thorough peer review, and I hope will be judged to meet the FA criteria. I found Bax an interesting figure to write about, and, with any luck, readers may find him interesting to read about. –

Support—had my say at PR. A solid FA in my view and a great read. Well done Tim on yet another excellent piece of work on a subject I had no idea about. (Though I must protest—I think Stanford was Irish.) — Cliftonian (talk) 12:47, 9 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Support - Another happy traveller from the PR. A interesting and informative read that covers the criteria for FA as far as I can see. - SchroCat ( talk) 13:33, 9 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Support As above, a quality, concise article, well-deserving of FA status. I wish I could keep the Sinatra article to this length!♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:43, 9 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Comments from Midnightblueowl:
This article is nicely written, and while I am not personally keen on the form of referencing used, it seems apparent that a nice variety of appropriate citations have been included. Midnightblueowl ( talk) 14:42, 9 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Support Tim riley, I've just finished engaging in a review of your article and I assess it to exceed Wikipedia:Featured article criteria as it is indeed well-written, comprehensive, well-researched, and neutral and stable; and I find that its lede, structure, and citations all conform to Wikipedia's style guidelines. The media used in the article is properly licensed, except for perhaps the main image and the image of Harriet Cohen, which are both in the Public Domain in the US, but may need additional documentation of their license status in the UK and elsewhere. I'll let Nikkimaria weigh in on that one. Otherwise, I concur with the comments and assessments of SchroCat, Dr. Blofeld, and Cliftonian. I can find no other aspects of this article that would preclude it from achieving Featured Article status. Congratulations on a another job well done, Mr. Riley! -- West Virginian (talk) 15:06, 9 October 2015 (UTC) reply
I don't know if it suffices for present purposes, but a reviewer at PR kindly added an image review there. The images remain as they were then. Tim riley talk 11:32, 10 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Support: Late on parade, but at least I'm giving you a sources review (see below). And I have just a couple of points outstanding from my peer review
These minor niggles don't at all detract from the high quality of this biography which provides an excellent rounded picture of this neglected figure. Until now, I've only known two things about Bax: Tintagel, and his position as joint holder (with Cesar Cui) of the shortest surname of any recognised "classical" composer – now you'll probably tell me there's an Albanian miniaturist called Enver Ug. Ah, well.... Brianboulton ( talk) 23:21, 11 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Otherwise, all sources look of appropriate reliability, and formatting is consistent. Brianboulton ( talk) 23:21, 11 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Support – I found the article on Bax to interest me greatly and the article looks well-written, structured and comprehensive. It is worthy of an FA in my eyes. Z105space (talk) 15:47, 29 October 2015 (UTC) reply
