Glass

Article is no longer a featured article.

When I nominated this article an old conversation came up on the template. I'm not sure why.

That'd be the old Farc. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 07:33, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

This article is very messy. It is not visualy appealing, has a bad paragrpah layout, and only has three refrcnes. On top of that, It was never voted a FA Look at the nomination page, and you will see that it never won the vote. Someone put it as an FA even thouhg it lost. This is a poorly formatted, poorly refrenced article which should not be here. Tobyk777 00:46, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

WP:FAC IS NOT A VOTE. For the record, Glass is a legitimate featured article, promoted by Raul July 2004. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 07:33, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

• Remove. The referencing for this article is poor and the intro section is awkward with the focus of the article not being entirely clear. -- Lewis 22:40, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

• Remove lead fails to properly summarize article, too many 1/2 sentence short paragraphs, too few references, stacked images, "glass in buildings" is far too listy, overlong "see also" and "external links" sections, and despite FAC not being a vote all those valid objections are still unaddressed.

• Remove - featured articles of lesser quality should not be granted grandfather clause status just because of an appeal to tradition. If it were freshly nominated today, it would fail for various reasons. Davodd 09:40, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
