Bruce Springsteen[edit]
Springsteen is one of the best known and most popular musicians in the world. I think that his page should honored as a FA for his tremendous ability to compose music and for his humanitarian services to the entire world. This particular article is well written and has received several awards which can be viewed on the discussion page. Jeick 02:03, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Object - not ready, 1c. Undercited, mixed reference styles, refs not correctly formatted; suggest a peer review to better prepare for FAC. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Object per 1(c). There are large sections that need citations, and there are external links that need to be converted to inline citations. I'm also not seeing any "awards", only that it has good article status. —ShadowHalo 05:46, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Object per all the above. Rlevse 11:05, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose for the underciting. And once again, I'll add that becoming a featured article is not a reflection on the quality/fame/importance/significance of the subject, it is simply and purely a reflection on the quality of the article. Trebor 17:45, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Object per Sandy.--Yannismarou 18:08, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Object - the article is POV (look at the lead) and has a lot of 'citation needed' tags - it's mostly unreferenced. I support referring this to peer review. CloudNine 11:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
