September 11 attacks

Nominator(s): Tigerdude9 (talk) 22:09, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about 9/11: the deadliest terrorist attack ever and aviation disaster ever. It would be respectful to have this article be featured Tigerdude9 (talk) 22:09, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, suggest closure The nominator has made only two minor edits to the article, and I can't see a discussion about nominating it on the talk page. While the article is in good shape, from a very quick skim there's some unreferenced text and the balance between the different bits of the article looks uneven. It would be great to see this important article as a FA, but I think a fair bit of work by editors who are engaged in the article is needed first. Nick-D (talk) 22:21, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, support closure The nominator is just going around nominating articles withot an understanding of FA procedure and policy. I've left them a note asking them to stop doing this until they've done the basic work and understand the process. Acroterion (talk) 22:25, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Coord note -- I'm going to close this purely from a procedural point of view, but will archive rather than simply delete because some comments about improving the article have been left. I'll add that the last formal Peer Review seems to have taken place back in 2011, so I'd strongly recommend another before even considering re-nominating at FAC.
