[edit] Luther Burbank

I think this is a nice article about an important person in history. I contributed some of the text and pictures. Steve Dufour 00:43, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose, no in text citations, few reference materials, rather short, too much listing... I didn't read the whole thing but those things jumped out at me right away. He was a relatively important man and I think there is much more information on him that would satisfy the "comprehensive" requirement. gren グレン 01:36, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

You could be right. Maybe the article needs some more contributions. I did cite a couple of books in the text. Steve Dufour 03:01, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose, sorry, I'd love to see this an FA as I admire him, but I mostly agree with gren. Also, the quotes need to be footnoted. Rlevse 10:07, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I will footnote one now and the other when I get the book back out of the library. Steve Dufour 13:34, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose. Unreferenced, and very listy, almost no actual content. Sandy 02:11, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I see that it is not ready to be a featured article yet. How do I remove it from nomination? Thanks. Steve Dufour 14:39, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
