Tarja Turunen

 * Nominator(s): Meadows of Heaven (talk) 06:36, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because i've been working on this article with some other users and i think it's already a good example of an article about music stars. Meadows of Heaven (talk) 06:36, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Oppose - I appreciate your efforts but do not feel that the article meets the FA criteria at this time. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:31, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The article needs copy-editing for grammar, clarity and flow. Some examples: "with a support classical tour" should be "supporting"; "Since childhood she always had a talent for music, which was first noted by her mother, when, at age three, she sang for the first time during a family party, performing the song Enkeli taivaan" is awkwardly phrased; "Her teacher, Plamen Dimov, later explained that he just had to give her one note, which she immediately understood, while with other pupils he always needed to practice a couple of times" is unclear as to what's being described
 * WP:OVERLINK - don't link common terms like website, don't repeat links in close proximity as you do for My Winter Storm
 * What makes this a reliable source? This? This? Check for others
 * Too many promotional sources - need more third-party sources
 * Reference formatting needs to be more consistent
 * Magazine references need page numbers. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:31, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Suggest withdrawal Article has not had a peer review and there are many problems that should be worked on. Also suggest going through the Good Article process before returning to FAC. This article is not ready for FAC. Brad (talk) 05:40, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

As a very significant contributor I am not yet done with the article. I would like the nomination to be postponed. --Pass3456 (talk) 21:34, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
