Baltimore Urban Debate League
I think the article meets all of the criteria for it to be a featured article. The prose is written well, all the images are free and/or have fair use rationale, everything is sourced according to Wikipedia's guidelines and generally meets every aspect of being a featured article. - Thx2005 16:24, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

From a quick glance, I can see that there are some sections lacking any inline citations. --Lenin and McCarthy |  (Complain here) 17:14, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Support. Needs a bit of Red link removal at the end of article, and could use a few more inline citations.  Other than that: Good job!  •Malinaccier•  T / C  20:16, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Speciy in the lead that Baltimore is located in the United States. People wrongly assumes that everyone knows what Maryland is, and could be a little harder for someone trying to establish the geographical context of the article. CG 11:45, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose - many sections have no citations and appear to be personal observations of how the BUDL operates. Secondly, the article uses a lot of BUDL's own website as a source, which is not allowed for an FA.  Blnguyen  ( bananabucket ) 03:03, 15 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose, suggest peer review to prepare for FAC. WP:MOSBOLD, WP:DASH, WP:FN, and WP:MOSNUM breaches, inadequate WP:LEAD, numerous short choppy sections.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 02:09, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
