Powderfinger

 * Notified: Australian Wikipedians' notice board, WikiProject Alternative music, WikiProject Powderfinger, User:seb26 

I am nominating this featured article for review due to the following reasons -
 * There are numerous single line paragraphs, which can easily be integrated into other paragraphs, this may indicate a poor quality prose.
 * More specifically, the history section just looks like a list of events that occurred, it barely flows if at all. At the moment, the problem seems to be most prominent in the 1998-2003 and 2010 sections, however the other sections may need to be improved to meet FA standards.


 * Numerous claims lack references, including
 * "Golden Rule debuted at number 1 on the ARIA albums chart."
 * "Their song "Drifting Further Away" features on the fifth season Grey's Anatomy episode 'Stairway to Heaven', which aired on 21 January 2009."
 * to name just a few.

 * Lead violates WP:LEAD. The article currently has around 56,000 characters including references and templates, hence there's no reason why the lead can't comply with the mentioned guideline.
 * There are numerous dead links.


 * Comment I am currently working on the related article, Powderfinger discography, which is a FLRC. After that issue is resolved I will be available to make the suggested improvements (and others) to this article. I request that no adverse decision be made here until sufficient time has elapsed for my efforts to be reasonably completed.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 22:40, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

'Delegate comment - Hi YuMaNuMa, it looks like no prior talk notification was done, as is required by the instructions. I'm going to put this on hold for a week or two and post on article talk. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:50, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
