My Chemical Romance edit
- Nominator(s): Eric - Contact me please. I prefer conversations started on my talk page if the subject is changed 20:22, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I am nominating this for featured article because is well cited, well written, feature-worthy and meets criteria. Eric - Contact me please. I prefer conversations started on my talk page if the subject is changed 20:22, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Quick fail
- Too short lead.
- Several uncited sentences.
- Dead links in the references.
- With a grand total of six edits, nominator is not the primary contributor to the article.
- Unbalanced coverage: there's more about some tabloid incident than their musical style.
- POV worries: there's a section called Controversy.
This article is a solid B, definitely not GA-worthy, leave alone FA.—indopug (talk) 13:02, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as above. Review should be closed. A long way from FA status, and would certainly benefit from work before going to GAC, though perhaps that is within reach. I agree with the above comments, and particularly echo the unbalanced coverage concerns. There are even citation needed tags in the article. J Milburn (talk) 23:13, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Simply not good enough at this point. There are entire parts of the article (like the "Controversy" section) that have barely any reliable sources cited, are completely irrelevant, and don't reflect anything besides how a few fans of the band feel.
