This is current a Featured article, but is properly a list. It's time it was moved to its proper featured content type, this is mostly a processual nom. If you're not sure this should be at FLs, compare List of United States Navy ratings. Circeus 05:35, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure if we've ever done this, or if this is the place to make such a request. I think it's okay as an article, but maybe WP:FAR is the place to start? I haven't a clue. -- Phoenix2 ^(holla) 06:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment I believe this is a list, as well. You have to take this to WP:FAR in order to remove this from WP:FA. Then nominate it here.--Crzycheetah 07:30, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose. This was discussed to death at the FA nomination, consensus was that it was more article than list. —Nightstallion 11:27, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose then, if a majority believed it to be an article. -- Phoenix2 ^(holla) 14:19, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment 90% of this article consists of tables listing stuff. That's a huge sign that it is actually a list.--Crzycheetah 17:58, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/€2 commemorative coins — Well, many people did think it would be better as a list, but TantalumTelluride and a few others agreed with me; in the end, we agreed it was more article than list. —Nightstallion 10:57, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
    • I read that nomination before commenting here. I still believe that it is a list. What is the difference between this article and the newly promoted list? It is written in the same format: table followed by prose, table then prose, etc. The main information here is contained in tables; therefore it should be considered a list.
      By the way, I think this discussion should be continued at the article's talk page.--Crzycheetah 18:37, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose, simply because there is no need for this nomination. The purpose of featured content, of any kind, is to showcase the best of Wikipedia's work. There is a secondary purpose of recognising the hard work of the contributors. This is already a Featured Article, therefore both those purposes have been served. If someone argues that it doesn't meet the FA standards and it gets de-featured, then fine, bring it back here and I'll happily support it, because the content is excellent. But as it is, while this remains a Featured Article, this nomination is unnecessary. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 16:01, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. I would consider this text an annotated list, but I agree with OpenToppedBus that there isn't a great need to move it. I also think that a text should not be both a featured list and a featured article, although the division between the two may be a bit grey. As long as this is a "FA", I oppose it being "FL".
