Provinces of the Philippines

 * Notified: Seav, Chipmunkdavis, Tambayan Philippines wikiproject — it was hard to find good people to notify, as almost everyone with more than four or five edits is presently inactive.

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it's the worst featured list I've ever seen. I'm quite confident that our featured list standards don't permit pages with substantial awkwardness in wording, sections with just three words, multiple sections with no citations whatsoever, and bulleted lists of facts that aren't in prose. This page fails WP:FLCR #1 (poor writing), #4 (too-tiny sections), likely #5 (I doubt that the MOS permits long bulleted lists of facts), and core requirements such as WP:CITE. Other criteria aren't problematic (for example, aside from an uninterrupted string of edits by the same person last week, it's had about 40 edits all year, so it's quite stable), but these are enough to remove it easily.

 * Delist. This will take a lot of work to get (back) up to standards.  Good raise  23:27, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delist I'm not sure how to deal with the sections that use bullets in another way, but it fails sourcing, if nothing else. CMD (talk) 13:41, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delist bit of a mess frankly. The timeline could probably spin off to a "Timeline of the provinces of the Philippines" article, there's really weak referencing (i.e. most refs aren't refs at all), and more failures to meet WP:MOS than I could cover here...

 * Delist Way out of date with MOS, don't think those issues can be resolved during the timescale of this nom. NapHit (talk) 21:56, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
