Kamil Tolon

Nominator(s): Yiğitcank (talk) 19:15, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about Kamil Tolon's biography. He is well known in Turkey and the article have many references. By the reason of these the article needs to have featured statue. I am waiting for your comments. Thanks!--Yiğitcank (talk) 19:15, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yiğitcank: Have you taken a look at Wikipedia:Featured article criteria, and looked at recent promotions and review, in order to familiarize yourself with the standard expected from an FA? HaEr48 (talk) 19:24, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@HaEr48: Yes I looked at the page and I think that thsi article needs to be a FA.--Yiğitcank (talk) 19:26, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose and suggest withdrawal. There are multiple problems with prose; YouTube is used as a source; and there are some source formatting issues, but the main concern is that the article is too short. The article in the Turkish Wikipedia is no doubt not perfect but it contains quite a bit of information that isn't here, and there are obvious gaps. I suspect that there are going to be written sources that have not been consulted, but even without that this is not ready for FAC. I suggest more research and expansion followed by peer review or GA. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 19:27, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support I think there are many sources. It can be a featured article.--Yiğitcank (talk) 19:30, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Inadequate lead, non-compliant with Wikipedia:Manual of Style, image with doubtful copyright tag nominated for deletion. DrKay (talk) 19:43, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Mike Christie. Yiğitcank: yes, it can be a featured article - with, as Mike suggests, a lot of further expansion. Currently it would be a quick fail at GAN. Like Mike I recommend you withdraw it; I suggest that you work on it with the short-term aim of getting it to good article status. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:43, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yiğitcank, I'm reverting the blanking because the comments here should be visible to other editors interested in the article, but the nomination will be withdrawn. Ian Rose, Ealdgyth, would you one of you archive this? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 19:50, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per above, also if the person is really well known in Turkey there would be much more than a few paragraphs that could be written on him. Article needs further development before it can be considered here. b uidhe 21:59, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Coord note -- before closing I'll note that as well as GAN and PR, you could give the FAC mentoring scheme a try. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 23:02, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
