List of Governors of West Virginia

 * Nominator(s): Designate (talk) 14:13, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I think it meets the featured list criteria. It's based on other featured lists (List of Governors of Connecticut, List of Governors of Indiana, etc.). Designate (talk) 14:13, 16 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Jeez, over a hundred years without a death or resignation? Impressive. :P I'll take a closer look at this later, on its face it looks pretty good. Except for, "All representatives and senators mentioned represented Connecticut." --Golbez (talk) 14:39, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Comment
 * "To be elected governor, a person must be 30 years old, and must have been a citizen of West Virginia for five years, at the time of inauguration." Suggest tweaking. I'm presuming these are minimum requirements, however it technically reads as a very specific criteria. --Jpeeling (talk) 21:40, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Designate (talk) 21:22, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * As father of the U.S. governor lists on Wikipedia, I hereby anoint this article with a Support. --Golbez (talk) 05:54, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Designate (talk) 21:22, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I supported, but you might add in the note Golbez suggested about Francis Pierpoint. Just a suggestion, not a dealbreaker. Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 13:13, 1 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Support with comments. DaBomb and Golbez have done great work on this article. However, on the statement "No governor of West Virginia has held any other federal office," I get that no governor has become president but no WV governor has ever become a Cabinet-level secretary? I just want to make sure. Staxringold talkcontribs 14:11, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
