@Royiswariii, as is stated in the guidance for nominators, it is strongly recommended that editors only nominate articles that they have made significant contributions to. You've made exactly one minor addition to this article—so I can say with certainly that this nomination should be withdrawn, and that you should focus instead on getting more experience editing, with a mind towards learning how to improve articles so that they may meet the FA criteria.

I agree, it would be best to withdraw. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:33, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Riley1012, Relayed, and Arconning: as the top contributors to this article, your feedback on whether this is ready for FAC or should be archived would be appreciated. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 12:39, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the ping. Though I wouldn't consider myself a major contributor to this article (all I did was archive every reference using IABot), there's still aspects of the article that needs attention before being considered for FA. I have concerns regarding the length of the lead section (which I believe to be too short to summarize the whole article), the references section having formatting inconsistencies (like how Manila Standard is written as The Manila Standard and others as Manila Standard), some questionable sources (such as www.journal.com.ph), and accessibility issues on tables (WP:DTAB). Using the GA nom as the rationale for sending this to FAC is unreasonable since GA and FA have two different criteria. I agree with others; please consult with the major contributors of the article before nominating such, and review the FA criteria. – Relayed (t • c) 13:26, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, the lead introduces him to be "the most successful Filipino gymnast in history", with no proper citation, questioning the article's verifiability and neutrality. – Relayed (t • c) 13:55, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@David Fuchs Honestly, defo not ready for an FAC... I'd request to archive it, thanks. Arconning (talk) 14:41, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@David Fuchs I agree with the comments above. I've never had a FA, but I know meeting the GA standards certainly does not mean an article is ready for FA. I appreciate the suggested improvements from Relayed. -Riley1012 (talk) 14:51, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
