Circus Juventas

 * Nominator(s): Bob Amnertiopsis ∴ChatMe! 23:35, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

It's Circus Juventas, North America's largest youth circus school located in lovely Saint Paul, Minnesota! The circus itself is now 22 years old and the article has existed for 12 of those years; this has been a long-running project of mine (with previous GA and peer reviews already undertaken, in addition to a previous FA nomination that didn't see too much action). I'm more than happy to address any concerns about the page you have and work to clarify as much as I can. Thanks for taking a look! Bob Amnertiopsis ∴ChatMe! 23:35, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Comments Edwininlondon
Interesting topic. My first impression is that the balance of information is not quite right. There's to the dollar info about funding, but the word animal does not appear. Key info such as what acts are being taught and performed is missing or just touched upon. And is it just after school a few hours or is it an immersive full-on day school? Or both? The lead should make all of this clear. A final example: a bleachers accident is described before anything about performances. Is it possible to add more info about the school aspect (after-school, immersive, a bit about the curriculum)? And with some reordering of info it should be possible to get it to satisfy the FA criteria. Edwininlondon (talk) 10:04, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Interesting commentary, ! Thanks! I can tell you right now that Circus Juventas isn't an animal circus so I didn't even think to include the negative in the article body but I certainly will if I can find a source to that effect. I think breaking the last paragraph of the History section off into a Programs section and expanding it with a list of acts performed (and more about the extracurricular atmosphere) will be the best way to deal with your concerns and I'll try to get to this within a few days. I'll see what I can do. Thanks again, Bob Amnertiopsis ∴ChatMe! 20:33, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Coordinator note: This nomination seems to have stalled and there is no consensus for promotion after several weeks. Therefore, I will be archiving the nomination. -- Laser brain  (talk)  11:57, 26 April 2016 (UTC) -- Laser brain  (talk)  11:57, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
