- Nominator(s): Nascarking (talk) 17:03, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I am nominating this for featured article because WrestleMania (1985) was the event that made WWE what it was in the 1980's, it could have destroyed all of Wrestling itself if it failed but its giant success catapulted World Wrestling Entertainment to the top and they never went back...

- Comment Did you consult the primary contributors to this article before nominating, as per FAC instructions? Dabomb87 (talk) 17:12, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose:
- Nominator has 0 edits to this article. He/she contacted one of the primary contributors on 16 July 2010 to ask for help in making it into a Good Article (it has been listed GA since September 2008). No other evidence of consultation that I can see. Nominator is a fairly new editor, with around 300 edits, and may not be wholly familiar with FAC procedures.
- Article has 4 non-free images (out of 4). Possibly one of these could be justified under current WP policy.
- Support:
- 1st off, it was not this page I asked help in making a Good Article, It was WrestleMania not WrestleMania (1985) there's a difference. 2nd, this is just my 1st article I've ever nominated so please don't knock me down just because I just figured out how to do this stuff. 3rd I've had this account for about a year now.--Nascarking (talk) 19:09, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm glad that you've taken an interest in the FAC process. However, just because you are new to FAC does not give you license to ignore the FAC instructions, which were put in place so that reviewer resources are not wasted. You still have not notified the top contributors of the article. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:39, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, maybe I have gotten a bit over my head trying to make a name for myself by helping to make a page a Featured Article, but I do understand that what a Featured Article should be, and this is one of them.--Nascarking (talk) 21:52, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In the circumstances I believe this nomination should be withdrawn. There is no evidence of any preparatory work being done before the nom, which looks like a simple drive-by. Brianboulton (talk) 18:08, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Withdraw – In response to the above discussions, I checked the wrestling project's talk page, and the primary contribuor, Nikki311, doesn't seem wholly enthusiastic about the nomination. If those who know an article best aren't on board with taking something to FAC, it shouldn't come here. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 00:59, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
