• This article is anything but fine, and faaaar below FA standards. I suggest that you look to the FA rules at the top of the nomination page if you are looking for a full list of this article's shortcomings. In addition, it usually takes more than two edits to get an article to featured status, so if you plan on promoting this one, prepare to devote quite a bit of time to it.

• If you don't think the article is in good condition then that is yor opinion, let others voice theirs. Besides I dont see any major errors, any specific errors you'd like to point out? Flyn Arc 00:53, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
  • The infobox is not completely sourced, for one. The article could use more expansion. You might want to work on this some more, ask for some help.—Jedi Kasra (comlink) 00:50, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
• Thanks for your helpful input. Flyn Arc 00:53, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
  • You, the nominator, haven't done a single thing to improve the quality of this article or make it ready for Featured Article status. You've failed to even read or comprehend the nomination rules, which clearly state that FAN is NOT a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, spaceships, or the like. It's not a matter of opinion whether you or other people think this article is in good condition. It's a matter of fact of whether or not the nomination adheres to the standard of quality the community has set forth for status articles. I'm giving this nomination until tomorrow to prove that this isn't some kind of tragic joke before the customary Inq removal vote is started. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:10, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
    • Why wait? I am almost certain that the nominator will not be able to meet the deadline. This nomination is a perfect candidate for the Inquisitorius no-tolerance instant removal policy.—Tommy ⁹²⁸¹ 01:14, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
      • I was going to be nice and give it a grace period. If the Inq wants to show less mercy than I was willing to, be my guest. :P Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:17, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
        • Then the Inq will be cruel to be kind. :P At 01:10, on September 29, this issue will be revisited by the Inquisitorius, at which time it will be determined whether the article fully meets FAN requirements and will be allowed to continue the nomination process, or not. If you are truly serious about this nom, Flyn Arc, I suggest you heed Jedi Kasra's advice and seek assistance.—Tommy ⁹²⁸¹ 01:38, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
• The images are in serious need of organization. Also, talk pages aren't places to advertize FAnoms.--ID-21 Dolphin ^(Talk) 02:00, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
• Hey there. Don't worry. I've been here for two years and my GAN and FAN were both removed. I'm just starting to understand the requirements. Take a look at other FAs for help. Ask some admins. Hope that encourages you. God bless! Master Fredcerique ^{Begun the Clone Wars has} † 02:07, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
