Nine Inch Nails
The article is well written, comprehensive, and highly watched. Not to mention, NIИ is one of the most popular bands in the public eye at the moment. --NeoVampTrunks 14:50, 21 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Object - Several points:
 * Lead is too short (for an article of this length, two or three paragraphs should do).
 * The article tells me a lot about the discography, but not much about the history of the band. Try integrating the two, as is done in Pink Floyd and other band FAs. How did they form? Why does the band change so much in terms of members?
 * Inline citations instead of inline HTML links look better as well, but I'm not about what the consensus is on that.
 * Insufficient references. For an idea of the amount of references needed, see Pixies. 101 notes and references there - most of those I found and cited. Are there any books on NIN?
 * Convert web references to the Template:cite web format.


 * My top hint is to look at other FAs that are close to the subject of the article, such as Marilyn Manson (band). CloudNine 15:13, 21 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Object - insufficient lead, external links should be converted to inline citations, insufficient references.  Pagra shtak  15:42, 21 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong Object Not even a ref section and they're jumps. Has cite needed tags too. Rlevse 15:43, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * That has been fixed. BotleySmith 04:36, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Object. The lead could be better, and references are a problem. Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabadoo 04:06, 22 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Support. Has no one else looked at the article since the initial nomination? It's a lot better now. BotleySmith 15:38, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
