[edit] Coffee Hag albums

I'm nominating this article for featured article because it is one of the larger articles in the heraldry section, deals with different countries and has historical value; the albums were collected by thousands of people all over Europe. Still, its history is very poorly documented, even the Coffee Hag Archives in Bremen, Germany have not much information on the topic. The Wikipedia article is thus one of the best sources.

• Oppose for the moment. Most content is unsourced, or relies on inline external links for reference rather than footnotes. Large pieces of the text are unwikified. Some key related articles (e.g. Kaffee HAG) are redlinks. No indication it has been through peer review. JFW | T@lk 20:32, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose due to lack of sources. It is unclear how this can be fixed, as it appears to consist largely of original research.--Grahame (talk) 04:51, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Read WP:WIAFA. -- Mike (Kicking222) 04:59, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose. Clunky English, lots of one-sentence paragraphs, no references. This may indeed be an important heraldry article, but it still needs a lot of work! MeegsC | Talk 09:07, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Approve(reluctantly), English may be improved by native speaker. Author may wikify more. As stated above, it is original research, there are (or seem to be) no better or other sources (try Google...), so with some small changes I can agree. It is an intersting topic and we have never had something like this as FA before.137.224.252.10 (talk) 07:13, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Would this perhaps be better framed as a list? See WP:FLC. It seems listy. It also needs a lot of work.-BillDeanCarter (talk) 12:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
