Trans-Europe Express (album)

 * Nominator(s): Aria1561 (talk) 04:38, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

This article is about one of the best and most critically acclaimed electronic/experimental albums ever made. Trans-Europe Express is a gem in the music industry that truly defined electronic music as a whole. It helped advance the genre with its experimental style and long-lasting legacy. This article is already a certified good article and I feel that it should be promoted to an FA. Aria1561 (talk) 04:38, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Aria, you seem to have made only a few edits to this article. Have you informed the article’s main editors of this nomination per FAC instructions? Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 06:13, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Oppose per Ian. Nominator has made no contributions to the article.—indopug (talk) 09:07, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Closing comment -- Scanning the article itself, I think the prose could use some polishing, irrespective of the procedural issue. On the latter point, there's a very practical reason for wanting the main editors involved in a FAC nomination, namely that when you put an article up for review you take responsibility for fielding comments and criticism re. its prose, structure, image licensing, comprehensiveness and referencing, and it’s difficult to cover all that if you've had little involvement with the article's development, or you're not being supported by those who have. The upshot is that the nom appears premature, so I'll be archiving it shortly. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 13:50, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
