Rock Lee

Nominator(s): Scapler (talk)

I believe this article, though recently giving Good Article status, qualifies all of the criteria for a featured article. I have been through the entire article, correcting passive voice, incorrect use of the past tense, and generally cleaning up the writing in small ways that greatly improve the prose. The article covers all details relevant to the character, his place in the anime and manga, and his reception and outside influence. The article is accessible to even those who are not aware of the Naruto universe, and would make a great featured article. If there are any suggestions or problems with the article, I would be happy to take care of them in rapid fashion. Scapler (talk) 23:42, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

• Support as nominator - Well-written, well-cited article. Rock Lee deserve featured article status. Scapler (talk) 23:42, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
• Procedural oppose – you nominated this without consulting any of the main editors of the article, one of whom is me. I don't think it's ready for FAC, and I had no intentions of bringing it to FAC. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 23:47, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
  • If the primary contributor of the article believes it's not ready, I suggest withdrawing. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 00:25, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
