Because of You (Kelly Clarkson song)

 * Nominator(s): — My December (talk) 09:19, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because after spending most of time revamping the article, I personally think it is now qualified to be a featured article. — My December (talk) 09:19, 6 November 2012 (UTC)


 * comments
 * the word song is overused; twelve times in the lead alone.
 * already revamped. have a look. done — My December (talk) 09:09, 30 November 2012 (UTC)


 * can that Reba cover version be a separate article?—indopug (talk) 10:49, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * May I ask why should we separate the article? It talks about the same song. — My December (talk) 09:09, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Overall look Oppose
 * I'm looking into this article with more detail and kind of re-evaluating my opinion. I do appreciate the amount of work you've put into it, but it's still not up to FAC standards.
 * thank you very much. — My December (talk) 09:09, 30 November 2012 (UTC)


 * "wasn't well-written enough for inclusion" -> re-wording needed
 * done — My December (talk) 09:09, 30 November 2012 (UTC)


 * "explores emotional pain from a damaging relationship, with critics deeming it is a fiery ode to Clarkson's father" -> as an example, this isn't very well-written
 * revamped. done — My December (talk) 09:09, 30 November 2012 (UTC)


 * and as it launches into the chorus, a roaring guitar is evident -> is evident? This is very poor
 * reworded. done — My December (talk) 09:09, 30 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Critically, "Because of You" garnered positive reviews by music critics, who praised Clarkson's vocals. -> That's all you could sum it up to? Praised her vocals...
 * revamped. done — My December (talk) 09:09, 30 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Another big issue are the references. many are not formatted properly and many list/don't list publishers. Point is, we need consistency. Ref 1 has no publisher, yet 2, 3 and 4 don't? 5 and 6 shouldn't be cite news, they are not news articles. Same goes for number 7. Inconsistencies run throughout the article in both prose, content and references.
 * noted. will be revamped. done — My December (talk) 09:09, 30 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I feel this article still needs more work. I find it kind of low on content (in some sections), and as Indopug indicated, the prose need a good run-through. Additionally, the references need to be all checked (several are incorrectly linked, italicized etc.)-- CallMe Nathan  &bull;  Talk2Me   20:17, 22 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Note to delegates - It has been over three weeks already and the nominator has made no attempt to correct errors or concerns. Since he has lost interest in it, we shouldn't waste our time trying to review it. I suggest you guys close this nomination.-- CallMe Nathan  &bull;  Talk2Me   02:36, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Sources review: Despite the above, I have done a sources review which might become useful in the future. I suspect the nominator may have been disheartened by the time it took to get any significant comments. This is a new name to me at FAC; if this is his first FAC submission, maybe try and find out what's kept him away? Anyhow:
