Taj Mahal

Previously nominated. Got a near-miss. Worked over and improved by numerous editors since then. Worth a second look. A good subject for a featured article, and I think it's worthy of its subject.--Nemonoman 16:26, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article in pretty much the same shape failed to achieve the coveted Selected Article status on the India Portal. My objection to it still stands. I have reproduced it below.

Strongly Object. The history section is too short, while legends and kooky theories are given more importance. The tedious details of the design can be shorted or parcelled off into a separate article. The organization also needs to be worked on. Also, there is absolutely nothing on the incredible influence that it has wielded on the art and culture of India, its use as a symbol of love, etc. — Ravikiran 19:16, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Object An article this size needs many more in-line citations. Also too many stubby sections and lists, on top of a poor and underdeveloped lead.UberCryxic 02:06, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Object I was overjoyed to see this article's entry and its size. However I must agree that there are many issues such as citations, copyediting, organization - and shortening. Rama's arrow 03:51, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Object Per above.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:16, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Object A very nice article, but a lot needs to be taken care of before it meets the FA standards. See WP:WIAFA-- thund e rboltz ^(Deepu) 12:16, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
