Featured article candidates/Hanoi/archive1

I am nominating this for featured article because it has all nearly enough information about the article. Newone (talk) 04:08, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Have you consulted with the main authors of the article, such as User:Juuun, User:YellowMonkey, and User:Mr Vinx before nominating this article, as the instructions require? Ucucha 13:13, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Images lack alt text, as required by FA criterion 3, and the article has several links to dab pages and dead external links (see the toolbox to the right). Ucucha 13:17, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, recommend immediate withdrawal. This is essentially a drive-by nomination (nominator has 8 edits). No serious work has been done to prepare the article for FAC. Thus the lead is inadequate, much of the prose is substandard (sample sentence: "In 1802, when the Nguyễn Dynasty was established and then moved the capital down to Huế, the name of Thăng Long (昇龍, "ascending dragon") was modified to become different Thăng Long (昇隆, to ascend and flourish)."), there are sections made up of bullet-point lists, there is serious image clutter, and much of the article is uncited - there are a few citation tags, could be many more. There is the basis for a worthwhile article here, but it needs a tremendous amount of committed work before being brought here again. Brianboulton (talk) 14:14, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
