[edit] Jay-Z

As soon as I add a fair-use image to the main page, I will be a total supporter of it. Even now, I am a strong supporter, as he has become a world icon recently, and has been involved in many things. If anyone has any objections, please stick them at the bottom of this introduction. Tom Danson 06:05, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

• Object Only 17 in-line cites, external jumps in the text, references aren't formatted properly, too many external links, one sentence paragraphs, one image and it doesn't have fair use rationale, no image of him, article has 23 additive terms, vandalism in the "Rocawear and fashion" section from January 17, don't link solo years, spaces between references and punctuation, Discography should list his albums, I think I'm done. Refer to Peer review M3tal H3ad 06:14, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
• Object per above, not enough citations and many other concern. I would recomend a Peer review before trying another shot at FA. Arjun 16:46, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose for referencing issues. Trebor 17:16, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment "Protected Jay-Z: Heavy vandalism from multiple sources" - Stable? Mark83 21:36, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Vandalism isn't considered part of the stability criterion. If it were, pages like United States and Africa would never be eligible for FA. — BrianSmithson 22:43, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Thanks! Glad I left a comment and not an oppose then. Mark83 12:33, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
• Object - Lack of citations, unresolved vandal problems (saw vandalism when read article), and lack of images. --Ineffable3000 04:23, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - And a person being famous and an article being featured are unrelated. An article can be on the brink of deletion for non-notability and still be featured, while articles for many famous people are not featured (and not even Good Articles). --Ineffable3000 04:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
• Object, vandalism problems, lack of inline citations and sources. Not time yet. Terence Ong 09:54, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Object - referencing issues per 1(c), and clearly fails stability per 1(e). --Arnzy (talk • contribs) 14:37, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
