Linus Pauling
Since the page meets all the required criteria and is well refered I think that this article should be nominated as a featured article. Sushant gupta 10:18, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * FFA


 * Oppose: 1) "Death" is a single-sentence section. 2) A FA shouldn't have a trivia section: these need to be either merged into the rest of the article or removed if any are indeed genuine trivia. 3) Unnecessary duplication: sons and daughter are listed in "Early Life", then repeated in the "Marriage" subsection. The bullet list should probably be converted into prose. &mdash; Matt Crypto 14:15, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong oppose. This article was recently defeatured, and hasn't been improved.  It doesn't conform to WP:GTL, is mostly uncited, the references aren't properly formatted, it has a trivia section and doesn't follow WP:QUOTE.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 05:37, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
