This article is about the Cahuzac Affair - which shook the French political world to its very core. In a time where wealth dissimulation is at the forefront of numerous discussions, the importance of this article to both France, and world politics is undeniable.

  • Oppose. Sub standard article, poor prose (grammar, style, formatting, MoS, pretty much everything). Not a full study of the subject, and nominated by someone who has not made even one of the (only) 76 edits on the article. - SchroCat (talk) 23:17, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Coord note -- Yes, it really reads more like an essay than an article, I'm not sure how it got to A-Class in any project so clearly premature for FAC. Given the procedural issue of no edits by the nominator I'd generally simply delete the nom page but these comments may give a guide to anyone seriously attempting to improve the article, so I'm going to archive it.
