Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Anglo-Saxon hunting
Great article! One of the more scholarly contributions on Wikipedia. I'm surprised it hasn't been published in the Journal of Medieval History, and should be a shoo-in. Much better than most of the pop cultural crap on here. --Pewlosels 06:24, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- Support. Obviously!Pewlosels 06:26, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- What is that huge cleanup tag saying there? It doesn't have any references! They are required by the Featured article criteria, so I have to object. Titoxd(?!?) 06:31, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I dont think its a cleanup tag, I think its an "unsourced" tag. In any case, please keep in mind that this is dark ages history and there might not be many sources available, and certainly none in English.Pewlosels 06:36, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: I can assure you there is a huge and growing academic literature on Dark Age history so there may be few popular sources to consult, but there are plenty of academic sources. Mikker (...) 09:39, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- Object Obviously. There is no way that an article that is unreferenced can be featured. Or scholarly. No scholarly journal has nil references Todd661 08:02, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- Object. Obviously. Ermmm... to the nominator, please familiarise yourself with WP:WIAFA. Thanks, Mikker (...) 09:22, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- Object for the most obvious reason of no sources, but I also wonder about the general organization of the article in terms of its title and what it tries to cover. It does cover Anglo-Saxon hunting, but it also covers the Norman period; some change is necessary. Beyond that I didn't scrutinize this too heavily, but I did notice a very unencyclopedic bit at the end about what Robin Hood would think if he lived in the 1960s.

- Speedy close, fails almost every aspect of FAC. --Golbez 13:04, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- Speedy close per WP:SNOW. Kafziel Talk 16:05, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- I went out Anglo-Saxon hunting today, but unfortunately I couldn't find any Anglo-Saxons. --kingboyk 13:10, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
