List of Hypericum species

 * Nominator(s): Fritzmann2002 13:45, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I have worked hard to make List of Hypericum Species a comprehensive and helpful list. the genus Hypericum has over 450 species and many more subspecies, and almost all catalogued species are in this list. It is also divided by genus sections, with descriptions for each of the 40-odd sections of Hypericum. Fritzmann2002 13:45, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Oppose
 * The lead is too short for a such comprehensive list as this one. See List of Armillaria species for an example of how the lead should be.
 * Point 5a of the criteria states "a minimal proportion of items are redlinked." Here you have majority of the items redlinked.
 * Only one image for a list of this length is not enough. There should be more.
 * The references are poorly formatted.

Oppose, and closing as not promoted- I agree with Crzycheetah; this is a good enough "list of species names", but in terms of a "featured list of species", I'd expect to see a sortable, structured table with at minimum the species' names, discoverers and when, and general distribution. More pictures would also be a plus. I think the List of Armillaria species is a good example of a "species-in-genus" list, even if it only has one section so you'd need to adapt it in some way for this list. -- Pres N  16:02, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
