For Whom the Sleigh Bell Tolls

 * Nominator(s): Robert Been (talk) 16:49, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because it should be a featured article. So far it looks good for a featured article. Robert Been (talk) 16:49, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment I see that the nominator has no contributions to this article. Have you spoken with the article's primary contributors and discussed the matter with them before starting this FAC?   Red Phoenix  build the future...remember the past... 16:54, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
 * In fact, the editor's only contributions have been the three edits necessary to list this article for FAC. I've got prose and sourcing concerns, but it's very tempting to call for a closure here on procedural grounds. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:58, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
 * It needs a thorough copy edit and some expansion on terms that lack context, including "3.1 rating in the 18–49 demographic". What is a 3.1 rating? The content is sparse and not even through what would be a normally shakey Good Article pass, I cannot find any reason that this is worthy of featured status by numerous criteria aside from the all important 1a. 209.255.230.32 (talk) 13:02, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose on 1a and the fact that a non-contributor is unlikely to be able to bring this article up to the required standard  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  17:02, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
