Oba Chandler

 * Nominator(s): Paul MacDermott (talk), BabbaQ (talk) 21:15, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

This article concerns the rather disturbing case of an individual who murdered three women in Florida in 1989. It has been at GA status since 2011, and undergone extensive work of late. Both myself and BabbaQ are nominating it as we believe it meets the criteria required of an FA. It is in-depth, covers the topic broadly and in a neutral tone, and has been fairly stable. Also, as the subject is now deceased it is unlikely the article's content would change significantly. Paul MacDermott (talk) (disclaimer) 21:15, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Oppose at this time pending a thorough copy-editing and MOS cleanup. The prose contains many grammatical errors (ex. "Floridas death row"), formatting problems (ex. long Troxell quote should be blockquoted), and citation inconsistencies (ex. FN 18 vs 47). Nikkimaria (talk) 21:51, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Withdrawing nomination because there are dead links that cannot be fixed or replaced, and I agree with the copy edit suggestion. Paul MacDermott (talk) 14:03, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
