2007 United Kingdom floods[edit]
Nominator I'm nominating this article for featured article because it details a real life event and covers all areas of this. It also has relevant media and has 178 references to support the article. SimpsonsFan08 talk contribs 21:29, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. There's a lot of good information here, and I applaud the effort that's gone into this article, but it would be better reformatted and submitted as a featured list. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 22:21, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Object per MF. The article is basically a list of dot points cobbled together with no cohesive structure and overview of the nature of the floods. The other issue is that the article has many one sentence paragraphs and also has lacks an integrated approach in dealing with the response to the floods; this is too much like a casualites list.

- Oppose per above. Way too many one-sentence paragraphs and one-sentence sections. More similar to a timeline article than an article. Also, I'd like to see more sources from places other than BBC. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 12:16, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
