[edit] Donald Bradman

I was surprised to find that there has never been a featured article about Don Bradman. He is one of the all time greatest Australian icons and, arguably, the greatest cricketer ever. I looked up the page about him, found that it was quite well done and covered most of what is significant about his life and career and status in Australian culture.

  • Too short and no refs, refer to peer review or WikiProject:Cricket's contribution project.--nixie 05:59, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Too short, no references, the one and only image has no copyright information, the "lead section" is a single sentence, and I'm sure there are shortcomings as well. Refer to peer review. --Carnildo 06:05, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Refer to peer review. Articles aren't featured because of the importance of their subject. They need to fulfill all the featured article criteria. Bishonen | talk 06:28, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
  • What they said. Refer to peer review. - Mgm|(talk) 08:19, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Object: Too short for such a famous person. The picture does not have a valid source. It is a good candidate for FA if it can be doneup. Why don't you nominate the article in the Cricket Collaboration of the Fortnight first? User:Nichalp/sg 09:14, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
    • I've nominated the article there. User:Nichalp/sg 18:39, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Most definitely refer to Cricket project, as they are producing lots of featured content. Phoenix2 16:52, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • I haven't looked at the Cricket project, but will do so; possibly Peer Review also. About the length of the article - I thought that while there are good reasons for it becoming a longer article (such a significant person), the length was nevertheless appropriate for an encycolpaedic entry, and it met the FA criteria of being tightly focussed on the main topic.

  • Refer to peer review This needs to be expanded, especially the first paragraph (it'll be the first thing they see when they hit the front page). Surely there is more information you can find on him. (I'm actually quite certain there is more info. Check your library for a biography; I'm sure there's one in there somewhere.) --JB Adder | Talk 23:59, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
