Amman

 * Nominator(s): Makeandtoss (talk) 11:55, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

This article is about the Capital of Jordan, Amman. It has been extensively rewritten, and might deserve to be featured. Makeandtoss (talk) 11:55, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Driveby comments by Spiderone - There are sections that do not have any references, for example 'Main Sights' and Bus and Taxi' and I feel that, for a featured article, that is essential. I also feel that there are too many red links in the article. I know that this is not necessarily your own fault and that maybe these are just articles that haven't been made yet (although I doubt if Amman Citadel Rugby Club is eligible for instance). My gut feeling is that this should go to WP:GAN before FAC. Spiderone 12:13, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

I have added the references to the sections. --Makeandtoss (talk) 12:32, 2 September 2015 (UTC)


 * The references should be in line with the text rather than next to the subtitle. Spiderone  13:27, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Oppose and suggest withdrawal. The article is not ready for FA; there are whole paragraphs without citations and the prose requires copy-editing. I suggest WP:GAN and WP:PR are the next steps. Graham Beards (talk) 12:41, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Coordinator note: I appreciate your interest in the FAC process but this is clearly unprepared and quite a long way from being ready. Please carefully review WP:WIAFA and consider soliciting outside opinions about the prose and sourcing. -- Laser brain  (talk)  15:10, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
