The NBA on NBC edit

Support as nominator. Only my second or third nomination in about three years. Well structured, informed and lightned. Antonio Tesh Martin 04:29, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Object. This article is not even close to ready for FA.
- Very short lead paragraph.
- No fair use claim or rationale for logo.
- Clunky, unencyclopedic writing in many parts "It all started on...", "He is the one who announced things like...", etc. These exist throughout the article.
- Not much on the typical presentation of broadcasts, e.g. screenshots of pre-game show or a game in progress with graphics on the screen.
- All the sections are really short. For the most part, they only give one or two examples of that which they claim to demonstrate.
- The references used are not cited throughout the article. Andrew Levine 04:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Object Very few pics. Tobyk777 06:16, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't a valid reason for an objection - featured articles do not require any pictures. — Wackymacs 20:23, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. That is not a valid reason to oppose. An article does not need pictures to become featured (albeit its a plus). Oran e (t) (c) (e-mail) 18:32, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. What should the title of this article be? According to the logo it is simply "NBA on NBC". Even if this is not the case it is ususual for articles contain articles (the, &c.) in their titles. --Oldak Quill 09:30, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Object The article has a very short lead, the main image needs a caption, the references need formatting properly, the 'Criticism of Coverage' subsection is much too short. Infact, all of the sections are one paragraph each - the article is generally too short. Refer to peer review. — Wackymacs 20:23, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Object. Serious writing problems. This should definitely go to peer review first. rspeer 00:24, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
