International Academy of Business

 * Nominator(s): Mheidegger (talk) 07:38, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because it totally opens knowledge about the academy. In the Kazakh Wikipedia the article became featured. Mheidegger (talk) 07:38, 10 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Oppose and speedy fail there is absolutely no way that this is close to be one of the finest articles on the English Wikipedia, even if its equivalent article is featured elsewhere. The second sentence of the lead, for example, is "IAB is one the first business higher schools in Kazakhstan — the Academy has been organized in 1988 as Alma-Ata School of Managers, in 1996 it has been transformed into the International Academy of Business." That is a very poorly written sentence, and Wikipedia stopped including links to years like 1988 a long time ago.  You may want to take this to peer review to get further feedback, and it needs a thorough copy-edit by someone with a better grasp of English, since at the moment it reads more like a machine translation. In the meantime I will leave you a welcome message on your talk page, which nobody else has done in the couple of months you've been around I'm sorry to see.

See Peer review/International Academy of Business/archive1 and WP:FAC instructions-- articles should not be at Peer review and FAC at the same time. This article should remain at Peer review, and perhaps then consider WP:GAN before returning to FAC. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 14:44, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
