Shazam! I present a Featured Article with problems "The Big Red Cheese" may think is impossible to complete. O.k, I'm exaggerating. But the problems are still big.

There are lots of sections with un-referenced material, failing 1c.

Moreover, it also fails 2c, with some references un-cited.

Some pictures seem unnessessary, with criteria 3 being failed.

• Comment. Please add alt text to images; see WP:ALT. Eubulides (talk) 19:22, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Demote. I don't really care. Most featured articles are poorly written pieces stuffed with fake citations that were never actually used as references, so it's not the same sort of elite company that one would desire their writing be included in. As long as the article is accurate and written in decent English, I could give less than a care about a little star in the upper right hand corner. --FuriousFreddy (talk) 20:40, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• The article also gets incredibly listy towards the end, maybe even leaning towards trivial. Jay32183 (talk) 21:13, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Ten fair-use images is too many when there appears to be a free one: File:Whiz2.JPG. In particular File:Supermanmarvel kingdomcome.jpg and File:Captainmarvel.JPG duplicate information, as do File:Marvel-familt-lt-marvels.jpg and File:Marvel-family-no-1.jpg. One or other of these should be removed from the article and deleted. DrKiernan (talk) 09:44, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to add that there are six Unreferenced section templates added to the article. GamerPro64 (talk) 01:11, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Featured article criteria of concern are citations and fair-use/copyright YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 23:47, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delist I tried to clean this up around two years ago, but I discovered that reliable sources were thin on the ground. Most of what's available is already cited in the article, and much of the uncited stuff comes from fansites. WesleyDodds (talk) 06:20, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist Per my comments. GamerPro64 (talk) 23:49, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist, major concerns about sourcing throughout. Cirt (talk) 06:44, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist. No work has been completed since the initiation of the FAR. Multiple banners and tags, plus other lack of referencing is major issue, as well as image/alt text concerns. Dana boomer (talk) 23:32, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
