Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/AC/DC/archive1

This is a very well-written article about a very famous band. It has been peer-reviewed by the assessment department of WikiProject Australia and has been given the highest rating currently possible. I'm all for this article becoming featured and I'm sure many of you will agree. Atlantis Hawk 09:29, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I"m not too sure about there being original research, it's one of those things that you can't really prove. Atlantis Hawk 07:11, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Object. I think it's very close, definitely GA level. However, I concur with the statements above. The references could be a tad more reliable. I don't see any reason, however, this can't become FA once these minor issues are addressed. Anthony Hit me up... 04:26, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object. Good job, but I don't find this to be FA quality. For starters, the intro fail to give a coherent overview of the band's career. Ask yourself this question: If I wanted to know what the band has done but I didn't feel like reading the entire article, would the intro provide me with sufficient info? To me it doesn't. It focusses too much on trivialities: sales figures and the genres to which the members oppose. I find that some articles that give a very good overview of it's subject's careers are Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Kylie Minogue. I also echo the above reviewers: please, please do not use the Urban dictionary as a source for a potential featured article. Any paper/print sources? And there could also be more comprehensive treatment of music (again, see the above three articles, as well as Phil Collins et al). Also, could we get some audio samples worked into this somewhere, as well as a description of how theses samples represent's the band's sound? Orane (talkcont.) 19:19, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support This is well written. There could be some improvements here and there, but pretty minor. Otherwise, this is FA quality to the max. Kyo cat¿Qué tal?meow! 22:06, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object, primarily due to the use of unreliable sourcing. This topic has plenty of more respectable sources available, and I think they need to be used here. Tuf-Kat 07:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object. This is a good artical, make no mistake, but AC/DC are one of founding stones of rock music as it is today. We shouldn't waste its one day as FA until its a great artical. It needs sources, and the information in the artical itself needs more meat. For instance, the Brian Johnson era section is far to small. Ferdiaob
  • Support. It's a good article, it was very well organized and written, but reaper again does make a good point. --- Metal 02:58, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
