Featured article candidates/Scooter (band)/archive1

I am nominating this for featured article because I feel that Scooter are large players in the Electronic Dance Scene. They have been around for a very long time, have had an album go number 1 in the U.K., and many top 10 singles AlmanacManiac (talk) 19:54, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Plenty of information is unreferenced. While there are likely to be many other reasons for FA regulars to oppose this nomination, unreferenced information by itself is a sufficient reason to oppose. Nyttend (talk) 13:29, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose whole sections have no (zero) references. See WP:V and WP:CITE. Article has other issues, but this alone makes it a quick fail in my opinion. I also want to note that I added this to the FAC page just now, as it was not listed on FAC before. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 13:40, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Also at least six dead links, but no dead links. I suggest withdrawing to work on the issues identified and then perhaps peer reviewing before sending this article to FAC again. Ucucha 14:05, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I think "But no dead links" is meant to read "but no alt text" - see WP:ALT for text for those who cannot see the article. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 17:59, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I actually meant dab links. Alt text is not an FA criterion now; adding it is generally a good idea but there is little consensus at the moment over what is good alt text. Ucucha 19:08, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
