[edit] New York City Subway

A lot of dedicated members who maintain this article have put a lot of work into making it a Class B article. It would definitely be great if this article would make it as a featured article on the main page, as dedicated Wikipedians like myself who contribute to WP:NYCS work hard to make it "perfect". --Imdanumber1 ( Talk | contribs) 06:01, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

There seems to be a lot of unsourced information. --NE2 06:06, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose despite being a member of WikiProject New York City Subway. Considering the article's length, there are far too few inline references (13) and quite a few external links that are only weakly related to the main topic. Perhaps it is one of my responsibilities as a member of the project to improve the article rather than just criticize it, but I feel that it needs more work than can be done over the course of a FAC nomination.

  • Object. I'm also a member of WP:NYCS. I certainly hope this article could achieve FA (or GA) quality, but it does not appear to be anywhere near that point. To add to what Larry V is saying, it also has quite a few redlinks. alphachimp. 07:50, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
  • comment The width of the tracks and the cars used for the various lines and the problems this causes is repetitively discussed in 3 different places. Only one discussion of this subject is needed. Hmains 19:04, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Object. I'm not officially part of the WP:NYCS project but I edit related articles. I would not want this article featured on the main page in its current list-filled state. If the info from the "trivia" and "films" sections were converted to prose, this article could become a fascinating piece, packed with drama and intrigue. Gimmetrow 21:20, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Object. The article is nowhere near Featured Article status. And to be honest, this whole nomination is jumping the gun. There are just too many things internal-wise to work out. Pacific Coast Highway {talk • contribs} 22:28, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Object per others. Never Mystic (tc) 16:26, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Object at first site. This article should probably have gone through GA nom before FA, it would have ironed out a lot of this stuff. Still needs minor, but important, work. Dåvid ƒuchs (talk • contribs) 18:37, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
