Rush (Aly & AJ song)
I believe this article should be rewarded because it matches all of the criteria and is very informal. Tcatron565
 * Object That article should be marked as a stub! Clearly does not meet FA requirements.  Pagra shtak  18:40, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Refer to Peer Review. Far from comprehensive, little more than a stub. Plus there's one ultra-POV sentence, "Hopefully the success of the teenagers' songs will boost their popularity in their music career." I ask the nominator to please put the article on Peer Review instead to get suggestions for how to make it fuller. It's not right for FAC yet. Bishonen | ノート 18:45, 26 February 2006 (UTC).
 * Object. No references, neither well-written nor comprehensive (it's barely past stub size), needs to be brought into line with Wikipedia's manual of style (as well as WP:MUSIC and WP:SONG guidelines), lead section is too short, description page for Image:Wikimage 1.jpg contains vague copyright information. Read some of Wikipedia's featured articles in the category of "Music", and refer to peer review. Extraordinary Machine 18:47, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Object: Very short lead, no references, no inline citations, no evidence of being well-written or comprehensive, not of adequate length, poor organization and layout (External links always goes towards the end). There are a couple of grammatical errors. It is also marked as "current", which could indicate instability. Please put it into Peer Review first before coming here.

 * Extremely strong object incorporating every criticism above. After deleting a long rant about people who bring forth FA nominations without seeming to have any idea what an FA entails in the name of civility, I will instead direct the nominator to "Cool" as an example to follow for how to make a featured article on a contemporary hit song. I would also strongly recommend the nominator withdraw the nomination ASAP (as happened recently with Big Sur, which was much further along but needed work as its nominator soon realized) and get to work on the article.

 * Strong object. Heh... this article is so weak, even the link in this nomination goes through a redirect before hitting the right page. Kafziel 14:51, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I moved the FAC nomination page to this one because before the nomination page was originally incorrectly located at Featured article candidates/Rush (Aly & AJ Single), but I corrected it, but forgot to correct the heading. AndyZ 21:46, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi, Tcatron565. Sorry, but featured articles have to be about long, boring grown-up topics. Keep trying though. You may eventually get one promoted. I see from your talk page you were put on the principle's honor list. Congratulations! --Jayzel 17:06, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Jayzel, don't bite the newcomers. Featured articles don't have to be about "long, boring grown-up topics", whatever that means; any article can become featured if written properly. I suggest you read What is a featured article.  Pagra shtak  23:57, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * What a horrible, horrible attitude. This article certainly can be featured if it's given some more work. The article quality at present is weak, but that's no reason to criticize the article topic, which is perfectly good. Everyking 07:15, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I think you guys took that the wrong way. Seems to me he was criticizing the FAC process and voters' tendency to favor boring topics, not this article's subject matter. Seemed like a cynical but perfectly friendly response to me. He didn't even register an "oppose" vote. Kafziel 12:24, 28 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Object I cleaned up some spelling and grammar for you guys but as per reasons above, I object. SandBoxer 23:39, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * No they don't, Jayzel, 2005 Atlantic hurricane season is one and it is cool to read. It's not boring or grown-up-ish. Tcatron565
 * You're right, Tcatron. That is a pretty cool page. I stand corrected. Regards, --Jayzel 01:27, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * And Donkey Kong is a featured article candidate right now. Not the most grown up subject. :) Kafziel 05:51, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
