[edit] Great Mosque of Djenné
- Article is no longer a featured article.
Quite an old featured article, possibly conforming to older and less strict featured article criteria. In its current state, it is short and badly referenced — relying on a single source and not using any of the newer and more specific systems of referencing in Wikipedia, like inline citations. Don't get me wrong, it's really a good and well-structured article, but FA criteria have changed a lot since its nomination and it doesn't anymore cover them.

- Remove. Per nomination. This article is much too short and completely lacks the references that are required of Featured Articles. A request was posted on the article's talk page requesting more references before I even joined Wikipedia: see here for the request for references, and here for evidence of how long the notice has been there.

- Remove per nom and RyanG. Is that a featured article with a {{stub}} tag??? joturner 20:25, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

- Remove Much, much too short, absent refs. It didn't get the two weeks immediately prior to this but there is no movement on the talk page for months at a time and last 50 edits stretch back to Aug 04. Marskell 08:39, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Keep - it may not fall within the letter of the law, but certainly within the spirit of it. In redrafting the rules to exclude boring/rubbish FAs, we shouldn't start throwing out interesting ones on technicalities. We should let this one weather out this fad for hyper-referencing.
