From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


I thought that it was necessary to apply for featuredarticle statuts in order for Wikipedia to accept the article at all. It was first after a while that I realized what the purpose of featured article meant. Of course I am aware that this band-biography is not an article that should be feaured.--Elgalan18 16:02, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The reason for this self-domination on this article is that it is an article that gives the reader information about a subculture in Sweden. --Elgalan18 16:49, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose. Definately not up to FA standards. I'm not sure why it's been nominated here, but I'll assume good faith.

  • Extremely short
  • No images (not that there is much space for more than one)
  • No inline citations
  • References are all on the internet

and other points that I don't need to mention. The fact that this relates to subculture in Sweden is irrelevant to the quality of the article, and to whether it is featured or not. This is currently stub class, and needs a great deal of work to deserve FA status. On further reading I found out that this article was written yesterday (4th October), and though I respect the user's satisfaction with this particular article, I am afraid this is not yet the right place for it.

  • This is the comment left by the nominator, though it was in the wrong place:
