Fenerbahçe S.K. (football)

 * Nominator(s): Akocsg (talk) 01:01, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

This article is about the football department of Fenerbahçe SK, a major Turkish multi-sport club. I have put much effort into the improvement and development of the article and believe that it meets the FA criteria. Akocsg (talk) 01:01, 4 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Oppose. The article simply isn't ready. It has never been through any formal review process that I can see, and FAC is no place for underprepared articles. At a glance I can see a great deal of uncited information, some whole paragraphs lacking any citation and many paragraphs ending without one. Some of the prose looks decidedly sub-par for a featured article: "It got its name due to the fact that..."; "Kadıköy was in desperate need of its own football club, where locals would get a chance to practise the game of football"; "The most known match..." ("the best-known match" might do); far too many paragraphs and sentences beginning with "Fenerbahçe..." – all three lead paragraphs begin this way.


 * I have no doubt that you have put time and effort into this article, although I notice that you are not in the top half-dozen contributors by edit count. Have you discussed this nomination with other major contributors? Anyhow, if this is your first FAC nomination this may be a case where you should work with a mentor – see the main FAC page for what this entails. That would be my best advice: withdraw this nomination and seek a mentor. If you don't care for that route, you should still withdraw and ask for a peer review and a full copyedit before renominating here. Brianboulton (talk) 16:49, 4 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the advice. I will fix those points when I have time and withdraw it for now. How do I do that btw? After fixing those points, I guess it coud be nominated as a GA? Akocsg (talk) 17:09, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The FAC co-ordinators will withdraw it at your request. When you've done a bit of fixing, please feel free to contact me and I'll take another look. Brianboulton (talk) 20:16, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I will do that, thank you. Btw, since you seem to be willing to help me, would you be so kind and review this one? I would like it to be a FL. Regards, Akocsg (talk) 19:36, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Not at the moment, I'm afraid. Brianboulton (talk) 22:12, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
