Iván Rodríguez

 * Nominator(s): Yankeesrule3 (talk) 23:52, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because it is extremely well written in my opinion, he is one of the greatest baseball catchers ever, and the article cites its sources very well. Yankeesrule3 (talk) 23:52, 3 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Withdraw – User had made no recent edits to the article before today, when they tried to place the nom on the article page itself. Without notification of the primary editor of the article (and their backing), this shouldn't be here per FAC instructions. Also, after a quick look I don't think this is ready yet: I see a few dead link tags and some areas lacking citations.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 01:07, 4 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Oppose per Giants. Also noting that the primary contributors seem to be gone from the site (Caribbean HQ's latest edit was January), but if the nom felt it was FAC-ready than the obvious stuff at least should have been fixed, such as the bare URLs and deadlinks.

Oppose, suggest withdrawal - this article does not meet the FA criteria at this time, and it will take considerable time and effort to allow it to meet the criteria. In particular, the article needs editing for prose and WP:MOS, the referencing needs attention (no bare URLs, no external links in article text, etc), additional references are needed for unsourced material, etc. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:13, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
