[edit] Graffiti

Article is still a featured article

This article was recently reviewed, as part of the Wikipedia:Featured article review process. The result was a consensus that there were significant issues with the current version, reverting to a prior version would not solve these issues, and that no simple solution exists. Ergo, I have listed it here. Issues mentioned include the lack of a clear references section, bias through focusing on a few aspects of graffiti, short paragraphs, the number of external links and a generally poor flow caused by moving material to subarticles.

The aspects which you claim are not focused on were spun off a while back when the page reached over 80k in size. See Types of graffiti for them. Please folks be aware of this when voting to remove from FA's  ALKIVAR™ 07:21, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Remove It jumps from Pompeii to New York with hardly a breath in between — not quite the 2001 jump cut, but it's still jarring. I'm not really qualified to judge what resources there exist for amplifying the sections not currently focused upon, but I agree that the external links are, ahem, overgrown.

  • Keep — Like most featured articles this could use improvement but I am still not convinced it should be removed. Cedars 04:08, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep article can use some cleanup, but it still contains all of the data that people thought made it a FA to begin with (even if the spin off into a sub article was done poorly).  ALKIVAR™ 07:21, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I am not convinced that the article should be stripped of its featured article status. However, the lead image needs to be replaced, as the current one is far too width-oriented. —Hollow Wilerding 03:15, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I oppose the removal based on the objections, and don't know enough about the article to think of any issues of my own. If the improvements percieved needed are not made, I would be willing to change my vote. 03:03, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Remove until cleaned-up - due to poor referencing system (what sources were used in writing this??) and the "Famous artists" which is currently just screen full of names (List of foo articles exist so that these lists do not consume large portions of articles). It has been about 3 weeks since this FARC opened and the article has not been cleaned-up. --maclean25 07:59, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Remove - serious strucutal issues, as discussed in the nom, which make the article less readable.--nixie 10:31, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
