[edit] Birth certificate

Nominated by Rhythmnation2004 13:42, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

• Strong oppose no references, nothing about the history of these types of documents, nothing about any countries besides Canada, US, and UK, long intro that doesn't summarize the article, etc. Not close. Matt Deres 14:15, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose Sorry, but I'm afraid it doesn't meet the criteria as set out at Wikipedia:Featured article criteria. For example, it doesn't include information from outside the English-speaking world (see the sister articles in the French, German, etc. wikipedias) or have any references.

• Oppose and withdraw as per two above... this isn't even GA, hasn't gone through peer review. I don't even think this should be voted on. Anthony Hit me up... 17:11, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose and WP:SNOW. This is well below any standard of quality encyclopedia article writing, be it FA, GA, or even the modest DYK standards. Doesn't need to clutter the nomination page any longer. Needs a LOT of work. AT best I would recommend a peer review. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 05:27, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
