Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park

 * Nominator(s): Es.ntp (talk) 03:48, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because this is a well-qualified article about geography. Es.ntp (talk) 03:48, 4 April 2009 (UTC).

Comments:
 * Why are there 2 infoboxes?
 * Figures need references, :
 * Dark Grotto (Hang Tối) This cave is 5,258 m long and with a height of 83 m etc.
 * Reliability of following sources is questioned: Seem to be a tour agency sites
 * http://www.peacetourco.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&Itemid=158&id=68&lang=en
 * http://www.vietnamopentour.com.vn/cms/articles/809/1/%20Kham-pha-dong-Thien-Duong etc.
 * So of the sites are in Vietnamese, WP:NONENG says "Because this is the English Wikipedia, editors should use English-language sources in preference to sources in other languages, assuming the availability of an English-language source of equal quality" . An UNESCO World Heritage Site will surely have plenty of "English-language source(s) of equal quality".-- Redtigerxyz  Talk 09:23, 4 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Have the significant contriburors been consulted on this?
 * Large unreferenced sections
 * Large numbers of references lacking publishers or last access dates.
 * Beyond the two sites listed above, what makes the following reliable? (Note this doesn't address any that aren't in English and that this is just a sample)
 * http://www.eoearth.org/article/Phong_Nha-Ke_Bang_National_Park,_Vietnam
 * http://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/reptile-news/new-lizard-species-september2007.html
 * http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/pfk/pages/item.php?news=199
 * http://english.vietnamnet.vn/travel/2008/05/783807/
 * Sources in non-English languages need to note this in the reference
 * Surely there are book sources available for a UNESCO World Heritage site!
 * LOTS of deadlinks
 * Suggest withdrawl, there is serious work needed before this is ready. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:23, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
