Nick Drake

Nominated because the article is a very well written, researched and referenced article covering a wide range of Nick Drake's life and work. - Vaughan 19:10, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

• Support - This is a really well written article, and well researched and referenced, too. I certainly hope this makes FA. Jeffpw 17:02, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• Comments: Please resolve the "1964/1965" bit. Forthcoming is an adjective; "Drake's uncharacteristic forthcoming" doesn't make sense to me. Why "Witchseason were at the time" and not "Witchseason was at the time"? What's the significance of the sentence "They laid there over the weekend, unnoticed until later in the next week."? Doesn't tie in to the rest of the paragraph, and seems trivial. Overall though, nice work. --Spangineer^ws (háblame) 05:39, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment (As the main editor of the article). Having brough it from this, I was hoping to polish it up over the next month and self nom, but got side tracked with an FAC. Though I appreciate Vaughan's vote of confidence, the article needs a thorough copy edit, a change of ref template, addition of individual page numbers, and expansion in a number of areas. + Ceoil 20:32, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Request that this be withdrawn, I don't want an article that is only half finished to be paraded and critised, when I am mostly aware of the outstanding areas that need to be tightned up. + Ceoil 20:51, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

• Support, though something irks me a little about having shyness listed with depression in the lead, last para. (Maybe something about 'always shy, he suffered from depression... (?)')Cas Liber 20:35, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Vaughan has very graciously agreed to withdraw nom. [1] [2] + Ceoil 22:41, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
