Clark Kent (Smallville)[edit]
- Nominator(s): BIGNOLE (Contact me) 18:23, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This article is about the fictional character that appeared in the television series Smallville. We have worked hard to really exhaust all possible sources and develop this article to the fullest of its capabilities. I recently had the article copy edited by the League of Copy Editors. I appreciate any feedback (no one visited the peer review before this) and support to make sure that his page meets all the necessary criteria for FA status.

Oppose - Hi Bignole, I'm sorry it took so long for you to get feedback on this nomination. Unfortunately I can't agree at this point that the article meets the FA criteria. There are several dead links and lots of primary or questionable sources. There are also many style issues: source formatting is inconsistent, publications should be italicized, long quotes should be blockquoted without quotation marks, etc. I know your PR nom was unsucessful, but this does look like it needs more polishing before FAC.

Closing note -- I echo Nikki's sympathy re. lack of feedback but also her concerns, so given the review has already been open more than three weeks I'll be archiving it shortly. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 22:09, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
