New York City[edit]

Nominator(s): - Snipertron12 Talk 19:03, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the American city of New York. It is the most populous American city and is known for its various locations such as the Empire State Building, The World Trade Centre, and the Statue of Liberty. This is my first nonimation. - Snipertron12 Talk 19:03, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tim O'Doherty[edit]

Oppose - Valid citation needed tags, as well as uncited paragraphs in Environment, Sports, Air, Bridges and tunnels and Government. Sorry. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 19:35, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural oppose. (edit conflict) Snipertron12, according to the FAC instructions, nominators are supposed to “be sufficiently familiar with the subject matter and sources to deal with objections during the featured article candidates (FAC) process. Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article before nominating it.”
Do you have access to all the sources? I don’t see you have made any edits to the article, nor have you had any communication on the article talk page with the article’s regular writers. - SchroCat (talk) 19:43, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural oppose[edit]

Echoing SchroCat, this is a drive-by-nom and should be withdrawn. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 19:45, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Epicgenius[edit]

Unfortunately I'm going to have to oppose this as well. In addition to the unsourced content mentioned above, there has been long-term edit warring on the page over what should and shouldn't be included. In short, this fails WP:FACR criterion 1e (stable) as well as other criteria such as 1c (well-researched). – Epicgenius (talk) 13:24, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose that I don't think needs a header, but seeing as others have put headers, from Queen of Hearts[edit]

Driveby, unsourced statements, MOS:LEADCITE issues, and the article is 14.9k words long, which while technically below "Almost certainly should be divided or trimmed" on WP:SIZERULE, it definitely could use a trim. Queen of Hearts ^talk 23:15, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Closing note: This candidate has been archived, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FAC/ar, and leave the {{featured article candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Ian Rose (talk) 09:59, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
