While it's probably a faux pas to nominate more than one topic at a time, I promise I'll stop here, just trying to get a few FTs on the page. George III, IV, and William IV are all FAs, and Victoria is a former FA. --PresN 03:39, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I should have been more specific. A preliminary (perhaps incomplete) list of under/uncited bio/royalty FAs can be found here, and those uncited by Lord Emsworth are here. Those that have already lost FA status can be found here. The single bio/royalty article that was cited by other editors since we began notifying Projects many months ago is Mary II of England. Editors have found it very hard to reconstruct the info necessary to cite this older work. The other articles lacking citations have not yet come up at at WP:FAR because there are too many to process at once, and we try not to overburden any given project, hoping that the Projects or individual editors will "save" these older FAs - so far, they've shown no interest.

As far as I can tell, the list above does not include a single solid FA - rather a few that will soon come up at WP:FAR as they no longer meet criteria - and a number of others which aren't even GA and are poorly cited. Even if the articles you notified on talk page were to be thoroughly cited, you would still be left with a topic without a single, strong Featured Article meeting current rquirements.
