[edit] Homer Simpson

previous FAC

I think that this article has significantly improved since its last nomination, so I'm renominating it --Hadseys 17:32, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Oppose Wow, you really like nominating articles without asking on the talk page if they are ready, don't you? The "Role in The Simpsons" is still a huge mess of OR and improper sourcing, I'm still (slowly) expanding the character section, and the cultural influence and reception sections could easily be expanded. It's not a bad little article, but it still has a ways to go until it's an FA. -- Scorpion0422 20:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Now now, lets not be bitchy, else people are gonna think you've got a stick up your ass :). I wanna say ive contributed to a FA so give constructive feedback --Hadseys 20:45, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
      • Please strike the personal attack. Thanks, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:35, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
        • No he had a dig at me, he can strike his first —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hadseys (talk • contribs) 21:46, May 2, 2008
          • How so? This is the fifth or sixth Simpsons article that you have come out of nowhere and nominated without consulting anyone, so my comment is accurate. -- Scorpion0422 21:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delist The nominator has made fourteen edits to the article, all in October 2007. The main editor--Scorpion--feels it is not ready yet. indopug (talk) 20:26, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Well i think it is and i'm ready to make the necessary improvements :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hadseys (talk • contribs) 20:45, May 2, 2008

Per WP:FAC instructions:

Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article prior to nomination.

Hadseys, please provide diffs showing that FAC instructions were followed; otherwise, the nomination will be removed since the principle editor says it's not ready. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:39, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Oppose - per Scorpion, suggest closure. It's a good article, but its not FA material yet. Gran2 22:24, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
