Dwight Schrute

 * Nominator(s): Red  Thunder 

I'm nominating this article for featured article because I have worked on the article by expanding it, sourcing it, and having it peer reviewed. I have looked at the criteria and believe it is ready. Red Thunder  20:38, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose, a decent start but there are some fairly serious fundamental problems. Primarily, almost the entire article is written from an in-universe perspective and sourced to primary sources.  You have made editorial and interpretive statements throughout the article and they are sourced to primary sources—not acceptable.  The article needs to be rewritten in an appropriate tone using reliable secondary sources. -- Laser brain   (talk)  06:34, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose - I recently peer reviewed this and pointed out the same problems Laser brain mentions - while there have been some improvements since, this is still a long way from FA and I doubt it is even GA as now written. I also note this does not follow WP:MOS in that image widths are not set to "thumb" to allow reader preferences to take over. The fair use images do not seem to meet WP:FAIR USE either. While it is sometimes possible for articles to be improved to FA level in FAC, this does not seem possible to me here. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 11:33, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * comment definite problems with WP:NFCC#3, I would also think a comparisson to Gareth Keenan would need to be included Fasach Nua (talk) 12:37, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose Too much in-universe content. This article needs a "Concept and creation" section, or something similar. Large chunks of this article are merely bit jokes from various episodes strung together in the attempt to create a cohesive fictional biography. Don't worry about summarizing the plot, leave that to the series article. When I read an article like this, I want to learn about the influences that led to the character, how he was formed and changed during concept, and what influences (if any) the character has had on other media.
