[edit] Gram Parsons

Article is no longer a featured article.

Very short, lacks references, 1 sentence lead section, and is about 35% list. Raul654 (talk contribs) 11:06, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)

  • Huh? It's almost 7K long and has 5 sections, including a 9-paragraph biography. One list contains 3 references; the other ("Discography") isn't particularly long and is standard for a musician. Both are dwarfed by the bio. All of this has been in place since November 1. Are you sure you have the right article? — Jeffq (talk contribs) 11:30, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • It's got "for further reading", which is not the same as a references section. The combined lists of External links, Further reading, Samples, and Discography are over a third of the article. The biography itself is barely a page long. Raul654 (talk contribs) 11:34, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)
    • There are other, much better articles on musicians. This article simply fails to meet many of the featured article criteria. - Taxman (talk contribs) 15:35, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)
  • Remove; there isn't even a critical review. There is nothing special about this article. :ChrisG 11:49, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Remove. I tried to improve the intro a bit, but this needs a lot of work. Not comprehensive, no references, poor lead section. Oh, and I forgot, I'm not sure that pic qualifies as fair use. - Taxman 15:35, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)
