I am nominating this for featured article because based on my judgment, this article has been rigorously edited from the original article as per request by the Wikipedia Community. Aiming to make the article a good article, the article was patterned to a featured article which was the Manila Metro Rail Transit System. Hope you find the article competent to be a featured article. Jeromesandilanico (talk) 12:00, 12 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Oppose, suggest speedy close: File:Metro Manila railway map 2011new.PNG "Source: Wikipedia"? What's going on there? Nothing close to a rationale on File:MRTppass.png. There are some wholly unreferenced sections- "Fares and Ticketing" has only one (what's up with the random caps?) while "Future plans", "Rolling stock" and "Station facilities, amenities, and services" lack any. Formatting in references is poor- newspaper names should be in italics. One line paragraphs generally don't look great. The double spacing between paragraphs looks very untidy. I could go on. I advise you withdraw this nomination, work on the things I have mentioned, and consider perhaps peer review and/or good article candidates before bringing this back to FAC- it's got potential, but it's really not there yet.

 * Agree with J Milburn. MoS and prose isses, too. Tony   (talk)  13:08, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose - perhaps you should try the good article process first? We appreciate your efforts, but this article is not yet ready for FAC. In general, I suggest making sure that each paragraph has at least one citation, usually more. There simply aren't enough references as it stands to meet the FA criteria.
