  • Object, a start, but please read WP:WIAFA before nominating an article here. An article requires references, inline citations (footnotes), an expanded lead, and more comprehensive information. Thanks, AndyZ t 19:24, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
    • I think that I have fixed the problem now!--Timorrison 19:42, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
    • It has references now!--Timorrison 19:45, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
      • The footnotes need to be explicitly cited in a case like this, not just copied and redacted from John Calvin. --Flex 16:09, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Object, too short, with one-paragraph sections. I removed the "Details supported by" section; Wikipedia can't use itself as a reference. (See Wikipedia:Citing sources.) If the footnotes section is also a reference for the article, you should add inline citations. Pagrashtak 22:29, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Object, I don't find any Google hits for "Calvinist confederacy" or "Calvinist confederation". Sounds like original research. "Article for deletion" is more likely to be accepted than featured status. --Flex 16:09, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Object, for all the reasons above. I'm not convinced this is a serious nomination. --BillC 17:05, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
