Jawaharlal Nehru

Nominator(s): Akhiljaxxn (talk) 04:37, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured article because Jawharlal Nehru was an influential leader in the Indian freedom movement and the first Prime Minister of independent India. The article has been thoroughly researched and is a comprehensive and well written... Akhiljaxxn (talk) 04:37, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: I'm afraid this one is a long way off from being FA quality. Unreferenced information, poor quality referencing, and quite messy. Not even GA quality at present. Sorry! Midnightblueowl (talk) 14:27, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Coord note: The above comment re. unreferenced info tallies with my own quick glance at the article -- as a general rule all paragraphs must end with a citation and around 20 in this article do not. This is an important article on a well-known figure about whom much has been written, and it will take more time to get it to FA level, so I'm going to archive this nom. I'd recommend that after addressing the general points already raised, you take it to Peer Review, where things can be thrashed out without the pressure of the FAC process. After that it should be in better shape for a re-nomination here. Tks/cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 20:41, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
