Achieved FA status in the early days before line citations were expected. Unfortunately, has no line citations at all. Appears to cover its subject in a comprehensive and NPOV manner, but probably an A or B class article by today's standards due to lack of references. Comments? Durova 01:10, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

• The lead is most unsatisfactory (2a)—wanders, glitches in the prose, nothing about what linked American poets stylistically or in terms of theme. Tony 15:22, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes, you have a problem when your second sentence begins "Unsurprisingly,..." Zero edits since nom, and it's also one of the old ones with no initial FAC to track down the initial nominator. Marskell 10:43, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Not a single edit since nomination: move to FARC. Sandy 17:34, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FARC commentary

Suggested FA criteria concerns are lack of citations (1c), comprehensiveness (1b), and general prose issues (1a). Marskell 20:40, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delist, for all of the above. The lead makes some very general statements that are not explained in the body. –Outriggr § 08:34, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
• Remove Lack of inline citations (1. c.), and what Tony explained in the FAR. LuciferMorgan 10:51, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
• Remove. Per LuciferMorgan.--Yannismarou 14:14, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
• Remove. Unfortunately there appear to be no active editors to bring this up to current FA standards. No improvement since FAR. Durova 16:14, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
