Kappa Kappa Psi

 * Nominator(s): Sycamore (talk) 04:35, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because I want to have it checked rigorously against the feature article criteria and that wasn't done point-by-point in the article's peer review. I also want to find some concrete ways to make the article better now that it's a GA; I don't want it to stagnate and have GA be as good as this article can be.

 * Comments: I haven't read through the article yet, but at a glance: "See also" should come before "References" and you should try to minimize the number of one sentence paragraphs. Mark Arsten (talk) 05:44, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Both of these issues have been addressed. All the one-sentence paragraphs collapsed easily into existing paragraphs or were trivial enough to be removed. Sycamore (talk) 17:24, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Comment - citation formatting should be much more consistent. Journals/magazines/newspapers without weblinks need page numbers. Be consistent in what info you include for what type of sources. Also, avoid duplicate wikilinks. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:12, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I have addressed these issues where they were obvious—so you're aware, the Podium does not have volumes or issue numbers. Can you point out which citations still need to be addressed and which articles I have linked to more than once? I know I have linked A. Frank Martin twice, but I believe that's acceptable given that it's linked in prose at the beginning of the history section and then in the list of presidents at the end of the article.

Comment - Given the list at http://www.kkpsi.org/prominentmembers.asp, I'm surprised the notables listing isn't longer and better organized.Naraht (talk) 08:26, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The issue there is finding independent sourcing. If that's not as big a concern with fraternity FACs since there is so little written about their memberships, I could easily expand that section. Sycamore (talk) 16:27, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * As far as I know only Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Kappa Alpha have reached fraternity FAC and both of them have so many they are separate articles.Naraht (talk) 02:18, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * In examining the ΑΦΑ and ΑΚΑ articles and their respective notable member pages, I've removed the notable members section of this article and added sections devoted to brief descriptions of the chapters and districts as well as the national conventions. I will add a separate article devoted to the notable members of KKPsi. I'm hoping this FAC gets some more traction; I don't want it to sputter out and die. Sycamore (talk) 01:42, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Delegate's comment - Sadly, insufficient information has been provided by reviewers to judge whether the criteria have been met. Graham Colm (talk) 12:39, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
