Sons of Noah

 * Article is no longer a featured article.

Not a bad article by normal standards, but is on some occasions off-topic and contains some doubtful information. Should not be a showcase for Wikipedia work. DJ Clayworth 15:30, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Support removal. POV issues: referring to a list of decendents in Genesis (in the Bible), it says, "These genealogies... should not be dismissed out of hand. For the times in which they were memorized and recited, they were presenting a structure for primitive efforts towards creating an ethnology that would express the degrees of alienness or relatedness the authors of such genealogies sensed among those neighboring peoples of whom they were aware. In the genealogies of the "Sons of Noah" sometimes a grain of historical fact can be discerned, as there may be a kernel of history buried in legend. Generally the most useful truths to be uncovered in these invented lists are in what they reveal of the cultural point-of-view of the legend-makers themselves.

 * Agree that for religious articles to be FA, they should be vetted particularly carefully for comprehensiveness, attention to all relevant views, and NPOV. +sj +  20:29, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
