I'm nominating this article for featured article because it is a very good article. It has one of Shakespeare's best plays, a great amount of good pictures, well referenced & follows Wikipedia's criteria. Warrior4321 02:32, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose The films section is listy. A lot of references are needed, and the article could benefit a lot by following the guidelines at the Shakespeare Project better in order to make sure everything is covered. Wrad (talk) 03:01, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose per Wrad. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 04:46, 27 January 2008 (UTC))
• Oppose Compared to the recently-promoted Hamlet, this article is sorely lacking in solid research on which to draw a comprehensive description of the play's dramatic style and themes (along with much else). It is also poorly written in spots and not as well organized as it could be. I think with a concerted effort by the editors or on the part of the Shakespeare Project, it could become better, but much remains to be done. Awadewit | talk 05:07, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

• Articles cannot be simultaneously listed at WP:GAC and WP:FAC (see the instructions at WP:FAC; which would you like to withdraw? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:29, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
