Talk:Misty's Staryu/Featured article candidate: Difference between revisions

*This is one of the most well-written artciles I have seen (if not the most). It's detailed, accurate and fits all the criteria for a featured article candidate. Ater I read it I was blown away, its now my favourite article and I wholeheartedly believe it deserves to be a featured article. [[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 00:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

*I support this article because it isn't one of the more obvious candidates for a featured article (namely {{Ash}} and [[Ash's Pikachu]]). While it was mostly written by a fanboy/girl, it is still in-depth and a good choice for the featured article. - [[User talk:SpontaneousCombusken|_{<span style="background:#D55208"><span style="color:#FFFFFD">s.</span></span>}]][[User:SpontaneousCombusken|<span style="background:#F4DA8E"><span style="color:#E57E4C;">'''Combusken'''</span></span>]] 04:04, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

*It's a very well written article--'''[[User:Misty-may-dawn rulz|<span style="color:#ED9121">Misty</span>-<span style="color:#CC0000">May</span>-<span style="color:#0000CC">Dawn</span>]] [[User talk:Misty-may-dawn rulz|<span style="color:#00CC00">rulz</span>]]''' 05:02, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

*This article was written largely by a fanboy/girl, and contains a huge amount of information that I believe to be extraneous. I don't think a list of every single time Staryu appears from its Poké Ball should qualify as an FA. --[[User:Martonimos|<font color="#008000">Martonimos</font>]]_{[[User talk:Martonimos|((<font color="#00FF00">Argh</font>]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|<font color="#50C878">Blargh</font>))]]} 00:48, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

*I don't understand why it even is a candidate. My opinion about this is simple; NO! [[User:MathijsP|MathijsP]] 06:40, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

*I object.  It's simply not a general enough subject for a featured article.  --[[User:Politoed666|<span style="color:#30D5C8">ニョロトノ</span>]][[User talk:Politoed666|<span style="color:#FF69B4">''666''</span>]] 21:55, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

To the people who said they don't get why it was nominated, I did explain in the talk page. Plus, I have noticed something here. This is the only article that has more object votes than support. Something else I notice is that this article is the only that doesn't cover an extremely broad subject like the others. It seems to me that the rest of you are only supporting articles that have a lot of writing (and therefore huge) and are objecting ones that are more specialized, such as this. If this is the case I find it insurmountably injust as a featured article should not be judged on quantity but rather quality, as stated by the criteria. Although this article is still quite big anyways. Finally, I hardly think that any of the informaton in the article is irrelevant. The article requires informtion about Staryu's history and that's what has been detailed. Its not a list of everytime Staryu has appeared from its pokeball as a) Its not in lst format and b) Staryu has been sent out A LOT more times than the article specifies (for lack of a better verb) so if it was the list would be much bigger so don't make it out to be.[[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 20:46, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
