The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a good article nomination that was unsuccessful. Please do not modify it.

Merumeru

Barn burner

If this is going to be a GA, then the "stub" tag should probably be removed.
In the bio, he is called a "Captain" without context of why he held that rank.
Any info from the "Making of ROTS" which can go in the BTS section?
Any information from the Complete SW Encyclopedia?
This is a lot, but from just a cursory glance i'm not sure if the article is ready. Still, I look forward to seeing more work from you. Corellian Premier^{All along the watchtower} 23:31, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

What do you mean about without context of why he held that rank? Ok stub tag is gone for the making of ROTS just the helmet thing which is in the databank SW Encyclopedia not sure there is anything I did not get but I just skimmed it so if you feel like it tell me I I missed something.GTQ^(Problems?) 23:50, May 14, 2011 (UTC)
Also could you specify as to what further work you could like me to do as I will be happy to do it. GTQ^(Problems?) 01:36, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
- The stub tag still remains in the P&T. It can't really be a GA if its a stub. If you need more information about an article, you can definitely ask in the Senate Hall forum, on IRC, and you can get a CSWE entry here. As for the "captain" objection, Merumeru is called captain in the second bio paragraph without any information on why he held the rank, why he got it, etc. Its kind of jarring to see. And I had meant the "Making of" objection to be the one off the DVD. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Keep up the good work! Corellian Premier^{All along the watchtower} 16:19, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

I really like your ambition. But to speak frankly, this article is nowhere near ready for Good Article nomination. To ensure that an article is complete, one must check every source, whereas all that's been done here is the addition of a brief Personality and traits section and a few extra words to the bio. Behind the scenes is copied verbatim from his databank entry with a few words changed, and elements of the bio are copied verbatim from the databank with no words changed (which is also called plagiarism). The entire article is waaaaay too short, and the databank and Revenge of the Sith are the only sources that the article contains any info from. The Sources list is also incomplete. Look at Guanta or Lachichuk for an idea of what sources Merumeru is likely mentioned or pictured in, for an idea of what kind of info the biography should contain, and for an idea of just how much info is missing from Behind the scenes. If you want to see this become a good article, that's awesome, but you need to put a lot more time and effort into it than you have done. I strongly recommend withdrawing the nomination and starting again from scratch. Menkooroo 14:07, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Alright lets withdraw it I'll work a lot more on it and we'll see what happens GTQ^(Problems?) 18:29, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Removing due to the nominators' wishes and the overall poor state of the nom. Kilson^{(Let's have a chat)} 00:19, May 16, 2011 (UTC)
