I am nominating this for featured article because I believe that it meets FA criteria.Epeefleche (talk) 07:56, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Screw that, Ryan went to my High School and was only a year ahead of me. I'll vote for him when I get a featured article!- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 08:14, 29 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I did a quick inspection, and I echo some GA comments. FA is a much tougher standard than GA. I think this FA is premature. The bold headings need to be completely redone from scratch. There are too many and they don't follow WP:MOS. There's a lot of detail in the article for someone so early in his career.  Royal broil  11:58, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Epeefleche, please see the FAC instructions: "Users should not add a second FA nomination until the first has gained support and reviewers' concerns have been substantially addressed." I'd suggest withdrawing one of these nominations. Budding Journalist 15:28, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

This needs to be removed: there's a GAR on the talk page! See comments also at Featured article candidates/Kevin Youkilis/archive1. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 15:42, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * There was an old one; the article history bot hasn't fixed and archived it, it seems. Braun's a lot closer to FA than Youkilis, but it does need work as stated above. Wizardman  21:27, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
