This article is not even GA-standard, because it contains significant uncited material. It is clearly not ready for FAC, and so I oppose and recommend withdrawal. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 04:01, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from TechnoSquirrel69 edit

@Spiritualism1234: Thank you for nominating this candidate to be a featured article! I appreciate you taking steps to improve the quality of content on Wikipedia, but this article is not yet at a point where it can satisfy the featured article criteria. As Airship mentioned above, one of the first things you may want to work on is making sure all of the citations in the article are to reliable sources, and that all of the prose is supported by an explicit inline citation. Featured articles are intended to be representative of the highest quality that Wikipedia has to offer, and articles are thus held to very high standards during a candidacy. If you'd like to solicit comments from other editors in a more stress-free environment, consider taking this article to peer review. After making some improvements, you may also consider to nominate it as a good article (which have less stringent criteria). However, for this particular candidacy, I'm also going to have to oppose. Let me know on on my talk page if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:21, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Per the above, this is not up to standard, with several unreferenced paragraphs. - SchroCat (talk) 05:00, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Coord note -- per TS69, GAN and then PR should be the next stages for this article; you could also consider the FAC mentoring scheme. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 12:09, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
