MarioWiki:Featured articles/Unfeature/N2/Culex

Remove featured article status

 * 1) I'll give another take on this considering that it failed once before. First of all, when the article was featured, it was heavily padded to give it the illusion of length. Cut this out, and now, you have a length that's extremely debatable. Considering that Featured Articles should be the highest standard and pages we feature on the front page, the length of this article only teeters on the edge of being acceptable. My logic is that, if we get into a debate concerning how long featured articles should be, then this article does not meet the requirements: when we nominate articles, we should be entirely confident about its qualities, and this length is not something to be confident about. I say that the article is well-detailed and lengthy, as well containing all information required for this character, but it is not worthy of Featured Article status. The argument "Other articles are shorter too and they are featured" does not work, as we can vote to unfeature those any time due to their perceived flaws from other writers.
 * 2) Even now, I think that the article has too much padding, with half of the history section covering things that are tangentially related to Culex. The differences between the English and Japanese versions are awkwardly shoved in the intro (also, not counting that section, the intro is three lines long), and the "allusions" section could be worked into the main section without much difficulty.

Keep featured article status

 * 1) - Considering how this article meets all standards (including #11, as this does have "reasonable" length), I don't see why this should be unfeatured. You mention "if we get into a debate concerning how long featured articles should be, then this article does not meet the requirements", but until that discussion is had (and depending on the outcome of said discussion), this does meet the requirements as they are and, at this moment, there is no valid reason to unfeature it.
