Wikipedia:Featured article removal candidates/The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Illegitimate FARC of an illegitimate Featured Article. See Below. Article is currently not featured.

This article achieved featured article candidate status via fraud; see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Votestacking FAC sockpuppets: Hollow Wilerding. I intend to be bold and remove it presently, but am listing it here just to be complete. I suggest that because of the fraud, this article in fact never honestly became a featured article. To avoid even the appearance of impropriety, it should go through the full FAC process again, from the beginning. Nandesuka 16:00, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just for those who are confused, here's the procedure we're going to follow w/ regard to the controversy over this article. Raul654 18:37, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE
This article should have been re-FAC'ed rather than FARC'ed. There is precedent for re-FAC'ing: See Wikipedia:Featured_article_removal_candidates/History_of_South_Carolina. Additionally, this FARC and the majority of the remove votes are clearly about the illegitamacy of the article's FAC, rather than issues with the article itself, which is the purpose of FARC. The FAC was illegitamate, this FARC is illegitamate, and as such I am both Being Bold and Ignoring All Rules, speedy "demoting" the article and closing this discussion. It will be up to the article's creators to re-FAC the article. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 09:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
