Nominator(s): Dancing Dollar (let's talk) 15:18, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the largest cat species, the tiger, a very influential animal in human history. Dancing Dollar (let's talk) 15:18, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • I see you have only made one edit to the article. You'll see in the instructions at WP:FAC that "Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article before nominating it." Have you done that?
    Nominators are expected to be able to answer any and all questions abut the article - to be completely familiar with the subject matter: do you have access to the sources used in the article and are you in a position to answer such questions? - SchroCat (talk) 15:51, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Procedural oppose for the moment. The article may or may not be complete, but without the input of the main editors to support the nomination, this won't go anywhere. The fact there is a tag in the article doesn't help. - SchroCat (talk) 18:46, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Regrettably, I likewise oppose. This is my first time doing so at FA, but I firmly believe that article needs some major work before it can be considered for FA status. In addition to the nominator not being a major contributor (as discussed above), the article is sprinkled with seemingly irrelevant trivia. Certainly it is a fine GA, but I recommend withdrawal of this nomination and submission to PR instead, at least until the main authors respond to their summons.
