Tony Blair

 * Article is still a Featured article.

The vandalism here is too bad. This destroys the quality of such a featured article. I think it should be removed from Featured Article status. Cheung1303 09:20, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. "Not frequently vandalised" is not an FA criterion. The requirement that complaints forming the basis of an FARC first be discussed on the talk of the article has not been met either. Johnleemk | Talk 11:38, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Remove. References are splattered across the article with no attempt to format them. Skinnyweed 16:46, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Remove it and remove it fast A Clown in the Dark 02:47, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Would you care to state your reasoning? -- GW_Simulations Talk 18:45, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. It is sourced and there is no requirement for sources to be inline references. Also per Johnleemk, vandalism is not any criterion for removing a featured article; action is already being taken by semi-protecting the article. David | Talk 12:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Object. Vandalism can be reverted. -- GW_Simulations Talk 21:03, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. The article is OK; and I'd like to know why the notice—which was posted rather recently on 14 May—complains only of references not 'properly' cited, when this issue is not mentioned in the nomination text here. Hello? IMV, that makes it an invalid nomination . Tony 01:44, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Vandalism is different from WP:WIAFA 2(e). The other remove votes brought up a topic not first discussed on the talk page of the article. By the way, I have converted the inline external links to footnotes; if somebody has the time, they should be given WP:CITE/WP:CITE/ES information ( may be useful).

 * Keep. Can we close this now? Tito xd (?!? - help us) 06:21, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Invalid nom. -Aknorals 10:21, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Err... whut? Speedy keep. James F. (talk) 18:30, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep; article is semi-protected anyway. smurrayinchester(Talk) 21:09, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
