2006_FIFA_World_Cup[edit]

This very well put together article about the world's most popular yearly sporting events is less than a month away. I came across this article a couple days ago to learn a little more about the event and was pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail and design. I nominate this article to be featured during the actual event. pattersonc 12:41, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The article just describe about the tournament info, matches. So why we nominate it as featured article, it seems rediculous and nonsence at all. A featured article should be more describetion rather than scoresheet. Aleenf1 07:37, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose because this event has not yet occured and the article is bound to be edited heavily once it does. Stability is a requirement for featured articles. --NormanEinstein 12:52, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and remove suggestion per WP:SNOW. As NormanEnstein suggested this will be edited heavily and as of now it has very little information aside from long bulleted lists. Joelito (talk) 19:05, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose because this article will be by no means stable for the next two months. Jonpin 20:30, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The article will probably be linked to prominently from the main page during the event. Haukur 21:50, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Despite pushing for FIFA World Cup to become FA (and being one of the lead editors in that article), I feel that the instability of this article will become an issue as the other four editors have stated above. Also, as of right now, this article is nowhere near WP:PERFECT. Being one of the lead editors, I think this may become a viable candidate in the future, but it is not FA material right now. — Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 00:28, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. It's going to get too crazy in the next few months. You should re-nominate it after the World Cup has been over for a few weeks. By then, I'm sure it will merit a closer look.--Coemgenus 11:30, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - it will mostly change 80% and very quickly in the next two months.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 02:54, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Once the tournament is over and everything has been written in the article, it can be re-nominated. Gizza^Chat ^© 08:32, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Simply ridiculous as it' not happened yet. Skinnyweed 18:02, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Maybe after it is succesfully hosted. Deiaemeth 18:27, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
