Review commentary

 * Notified: NapHit, WikiProject Football

I am nominating this featured article for review because I believe that it does not meet featured article criterion 1b. Following the example of 2009 UEFA Champions League Final, I believe that the article should include a short summary of past matches between the two sides and a list of other major matches held at the same venue. Furthermore, a prose account of each team's route to the final would seem to be a big plus. There is also no mention of the venue selection process, the match officials, the teams' financial rewards for competing in the match or the events that directly followed the final, such as the 2007 UEFA Super Cup, the 2007 FIFA Club World Cup. – PeeJay 11:56, 11 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment – This had an earlier FAR in 2008 (my early days in the project). Back then, the article had much more coverage of the teams' campaigns than it does now. I think it's longer than its relative weight would justify, but perhaps some of this could be re-added.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 00:16, 25 April 2010 (UTC)


 * File:Champat2007.jpg doesn't seem to meet wp:nfcc, hence FAC3 Fasach Nua (talk) 17:20, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Fasach Nua, could you please specify which criterion of WP:NFCC you believe the image fails? It would be easier to fix the problem if you would deign to enlighten us as to what the problem actually is. – PeeJay 18:09, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The rationale given for using the image is branding and the marketing section is badly lacking and the image is unreferenced, thus failing nfcc8, as its omission would be detrimental to my understanding Fasach Nua (talk) 18:14, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

FARC commentary

 * Featured article criterion of concern are comprehensiveness, images  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll '')  01:00, 27 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Delist – With the section on the teams' build-up to the match stripped down to the bone, this isn't the same article I saw at the first FAR. A couple of the other suggested additions (site selection in particular) were incorporated into the most recent soccer match FA, 2009 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final, so it would be nice to see them in here as well to ensure a comprehensive article. Right now, I don't think this qualifies as one.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 23:08, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delist – Agree with the above concerns about FA criterion, specifically comprehensiveness. -- Cirt (talk) 16:54, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
