I like this article, it's very good! --A cool night green owl 07:56, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support from Green Owl
- Oppose - I don't know if I'm alone, but what strikes to me immediately is number of inline citations - three is somehow very low at this level (in my opinion) and web citations would surely look better with {{cite web}} template. MarkBA t/c/@ 09:48, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose And don't forget the lack of out-of-universe information that got Torchic demoted as well as Bulbasaur.--Rmky87 14:22, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose.
- Lots and lots of prose, spelling, and grammar issues
- Lack of inline citations
- Contains speculation/original research
- Reads like a video game guide
- Excessive use of non-free images
- Needs extensive editing before it can be near featured article criteria-Wafulz 16:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose, lack of citations, among other things, hurt the article. --RandomOrca2 21:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Althought it certainly doesn't meet FA standards (prose quality, in universe focus, citations), it might make a good GAC candidate should someone take the pain to go through the article and provide inline citations everywhere.--SidiLemine 11:50, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose for too much game guide content that violates WP:VG/GL and WP:NOT. Strategy and stat info like "In this form, its Speed is its greatest asset; its Attack and Defense stats are balanced (Attack is slightly higher), more so than its Normal Form, but neither are especially outstanding. Its Speed, on the other hand, exceeds that of all other Pokemon." is far too specific and game guide-oriented, and it is also unsourced. The article needs many more references, as well.
