I Joined a Teen-Age Sex Club!

 * Nominator(s): SingToMePlease (talk) 11:59, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

"I Joined a Teen-Age Sex Club!" is a comic book story from 1951. Some consider it one of the racier stories of the period but by today's fan standards it's pale. Most importantly though, it reflected the social and cultural realities of the period rather than romantic fantasy. This is a story about real kids - not the usual suffering starlets looking for handsome, rich, and eternally devoted boyfriends endemic to the romance genre. I enjoyed writing and researching this article. I hope that you will enjoy reading it. SingToMePlease (talk) 11:59, 22 January 2011 (UTC) trongly suggest some more research and work. You just created this article on 16 Jan, peer review might be best for this if you
 * Oppose - some paragraphs are entirely unreferenced, prose needs some work to meet WP:NPOV and related guidelines. Also, it would probably be best to wait until the AfD closes before nominating the article here], although it does look like the result will be Keep. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:54, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

The unreferenceed paragraphs are essentially "summaries" of the quotations that follow them. I can source these paragraphs. I'm hoping to get some feedback here and some suggestions to improve the article to avoid a deletion. I can meet the technicalities within 24 hours but I need to know what the "related guidelines" are. I'm eager to work on this! Please check back in 24 hours, and thanks for showing me the direction to go! SingToMePlease (talk) 18:32, 22 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Oppose - per Nikkimaria. Also, large chunks are just verbatim quotations from various works, so it's not quite prose. Ealdgyth - Talk 15:08, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

The large chunks of verbatim quotations can be can be set into prose within 24 hours. Please check back then. I'll look forward to your feedback. SingToMePlease (talk) 18:32, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * FAC is NOT a peer review service, the article should be close to meeting the criteria BEFORE it's nominated. Kindly consider withdrawing and working on these sorts of issues before nominating. Also, swant feedback. Ealdgyth - Talk 18:40, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I understand this but a glance through this page will reveal that many articles are not ready at nomination and simple things such as typo-correction, reorganization, image-deletion, and much more appear to be accomplished in this process. If articles are ready for FA promotion at the point of nomination, then why is there a humungous backlog? Thank you for reviewing the images and pulling a boo-boo. I missed it. What can I say? And I prefer not withdrawing the article over a few minor points that can be adjusted within moments. What's the point of reviewing an FAN? I missed it somewhere along the line. Why is there an enormous backlog if articles are FA ready at the point of nomination? I can withdraw this article, adjust the few issues mentioned above, and return the article to FAN but what's the point? Gotta run! Doorbell! SingToMePlease (talk) 19:51, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I suggest this is withdrawn as above. File:Akintervw.jpg should not have been in the article, please review our non-free content criteria- the use did not meet criteria 8 or 10c. J Milburn (talk) 19:09, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
