The Simpsons Movie
I really like this article, its stable, well-written, well-referenced and think it may be upto standard. --Hadseys 15:06, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Request quickest removal physically possible. Not ready for FAC, its still only a GAC. It won't be FA ready until the DVD is released, which won't be for months. Gran2 15:09, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Snowball oppose. It won't be comprehensive enough come the DVD and its "two films worth" of deleted scenes. Alientraveller 15:11, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose due to recency of this film. Waiting for the DVD release, as others suggested, seems to be a good idea; there would be more real-world context incorporated into this article.  The film is still out in many places, so there's no reason to believe that the article has plateaued.  However, in due time, the article should definitely revisit the FAC process, barring any future issues. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 16:29, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose due to comments of Alientraveller and Erik. I think this has potential but should be renominated in future after DVD release and further edits. LordHarris 17:27, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose current movie releases are not ideal FACs. Also, the article is nominated simultaneously as a Good Article, which is against Wikipedia guidelines.--Ianmacm 18:15, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * D'oh-ppose. Inherently unstable.--Esprit15d 19:35, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose It isn't quite FA quality. Give it some time, it will get there.  171.71.37.103 22:35, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

'Close the nomination: a message was left on my talk page to request a hasty close to this discussion as the article in question is not, yet, comprehensive enough to make featured article status --Hadseys 01:23, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
