Nominator(s): Robert Been (talk) 16:49, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured article because it should be a featured article. So far it looks good for a featured article. Robert Been (talk) 16:49, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I see that the nominator has no contributions to this article. Have you spoken with the article's primary contributors and discussed the matter with them before starting this FAC? Red Phoenix ^{build the future...}_{remember the past...} 16:54, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, the editor's only contributions have been the three edits necessary to list this article for FAC. I've got prose and sourcing concerns, but it's very tempting to call for a closure here on procedural grounds. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:58, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It needs a thorough copy edit and some expansion on terms that lack context, including "3.1 rating in the 18–49 demographic". What is a 3.1 rating? The content is sparse and not even through what would be a normally shakey Good Article pass, I cannot find any reason that this is worthy of featured status by numerous criteria aside from the all important 1a. 209.255.230.32 (talk) 13:02, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose on 1a and the fact that a non-contributor is unlikely to be able to bring this article up to the required standard Jimfbleak - talk to me? 17:02, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
