I'm nominating this article for featured article because it is a quality article about the Romania national football team. Mario1987 (talk) 13:18, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support as nominator. Mario1987 (talk) 13:21, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - simply put, insufficient referencing and a template requiring an article to be cleaned up must result in FAC opposition. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:43, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – not a single reference; MOS breaches throughout; 1/2 the article is made up of lists, overlinked, writing is mediocre, POVish in places. Carre (talk) 14:11, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, get rid of that Trivia(!) section, too. Carre (talk) 19:04, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose No references. The history section is badly written and badly structured. The second half of the article is POV really; Important players? Famous players? You need some sort of strict criteria and not personal opinion. This would be helped with references. There are far too many lists in the second half of the article as well. I suggest a good peer review first. I am sure that WP:FOOTY would help out. Woody (talk) 16:00, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Thanks for your hard work Mario, but the WP:Featured article criteria say that an article needs references, and this one doesn't have any. WP:SOURCES can give you some more information on the kinds of sources that are acceptable. Karanacs (talk) 21:06, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Totally unreferenced, scores of MOS breaches, poorly sized sections, incl one of just one line and a number of POV lists. Peanut4 (talk) 03:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
