Fountain pen[edit]
This article is about... the historical background, mechanisms and accessories to the humble fountain pen. I am aware that this article was demoted from Featured Article status in 2006. This article's contributors have made the necessary revisions (as per the removal notes), thoroughly developing the article and paying attention to the Manual of Style encyclopaedic format. The extensive variety of nibs, filling mechanisms, inks and cartridges is comprehensively explored. Thank you for your consideration! Seba5tien (talk/contribs) 21:13, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose, recommend withdrawal -- sorry but this nom is premature, I haven't checked prose quality but extensive sections of the text are uncited; I would suggest that after researching and referencing the article should be taken to Peer Review before considering another FAC nomination.

- Oppose, recommend withdrawal many uncited statements and very poor referencing formatting. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 00:16, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose. I just started a GA review (Talk:Fountain pen/GA1) and it's not currently at GA level, although it has the potential to get there within the review. As such FA is premature. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:57, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
