FA?

edit

FA on something that was only on air for two months? You'd think people could find something more noteworthy. Plus prose size is crazy small for an "FA". 70.161.8.90 (talk) 01:37, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Then the standards need raised to ensure quality and noteworthiness. The currect state of "FA" is sad. 70.161.8.90 (talk) 11:15, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
1) The FA criteria is public for anyone to see, and this article meets the criteria. 2) The concept of "noteworthiness" is a very subjective one, where exactly does one draw the line? Who is going to tell if a subject matter is worthy of FA status or not? 3) Articles reach FA status because very hard-working editors choose to improve those specific articles, and not others. There are very, very few editors writing FA articles, it's a lot of time and effort spent by volunteers. 4) The FA criteria is stricter now than it has ever been, so that comment about the current state of FA makes no sense.

They need to be even stricter because these puny articles on minor subjects being FA is what is making no sense. 70.161.8.90 (talk) 23:52, 11 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
Just because you find it a "minor topic" doesn't make it ineligible for featured status. Wikipedia is written with neutrality and therefore each article is evaluated independently and by its content, not by its impact on the general culture. (CC) Tbhotch 15:26, 12 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
And you guys wonder why wiki has such a pitiful reputation. Even if one accepts your "minor" argument this article is still way too disgustingly short. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.161.8.90 (talkcontribs)
That's your opinion, not a fact. If you have nothing relevant to add, I have to inform you that Wikipedia is not a forum for general discussion. (CC) Tbhotch 19:38, 13 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
