I went through this list thinking I would just fix the heading that read "The List," I then read over it some more and realized that this list is very well composed, is one of the most engaging lists that I have read in a while. I believe that it meets the criteria and is deserving of FL status. Any feedback will be reacted upon swiftly and is greatly welcome. (Note:I will rewrite the lead.)

- Welcome to WP:FLC! This isn't a great start, though ... you've made one edit to the page, and I couldn't find anywhere in your recent contributions where you've contacted any of the people who did work on the page. So let's start there: do some work on the page, and talk with some of the people who've worked on it so far to see if they think it's ready to become a Featured List. - Dank (push to talk) 02:37, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and suggest withdrawal. the lead is pretty much empty. There is a bare URL (ref. #295). So many unreliable sources (NY Post, Cracked.com, Chm.bris.ac.uk). Inconsistencies with source formatting (publishers/works are randomly linked and book sources are cited both in References and works cited). There are also so many {{sfn}}'s that don't point to any citations (e.g. ref. 72, 91, 92, 94, 95). Also, "Note:I will rewrite the lead." is not something that is done at FLC. When a list is nominated for FL, it is expected to meet or nearly meet all the FL criteria. This list is far from reaching the FL standards. FrB.TG (talk) 05:59, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose - unfortunately just not ready at this point. Lead consists of a single sentence. Reworking the article to something close to FL standard should take place before the nomination -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:46, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@FLC director and delegates: the nominator has withdrawn their nomination. FrB.TG (talk) 13:06, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
