Mahmoud Ahmadinejad[edit]

This article complies with all of the featured article qualifications, and I think it is a very fine looking article, with graphics, references, footnotes, and inter-wiki linkage. -- Mac Davis ☢ ญƛ. 09:37, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I'm not sure a "Controversies" section should exist. It is both extremely short and most of its would-be content is in other sections. --Oldak Quill 12:28, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Given that Ahmadinejad is still President of Iran, this article is unlikely to become relatively stable any time soon, one of the requirements of an FA. —Cuiviénen (Cuivië) 13:04, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The intro leaves out any mention of his political activities between 1975 and being elected mayor of Tehran. This is a particularly significant period in his life and career. Kaisershatner 15:23, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- Stability is one of the criteria of a FA, and whatever the merits of the current revision of the page, there is no way an article on a very controversial leader who will be in the news for years to come can retain its quality. (I have a similar problem with the Featured status of Nicolas Sarkozy). Andrew Levine 23:40, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I don't really know if we should judge how stable an article is by future edits as this version should be good, but looking at the history of the article there have been several reversions and re-reversions (especially with specific quotes that certain people dab as "whitewash").

Oppose -- per Adrew Levine. CG 14:57, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've been editing the article for a while & can assure you it is FAR from stable. (not only due to vandalism). Mikkerpikker ... 12:18, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Object per above, especially the "controversies" section. Flcelloguy (A note?) 17:02, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
