Oppose - if this is featured than any other audio of a correct prountiation of a name is 'just as featured'. This kind of audio is important in an article, but just not featured material. diego_pmc (talk) 14:05, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think accepting a proportion of these, as a symbolic gesture of thanks for them as a whole, would be a good idea, but we might need to plan out how to handle such things a bit more. We'd want to try and get all the major contributors, for instance. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 19:02, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: It's simply a pronunciation recording - it might meet Wiktionary's featured sound criteria (if it has any) but it isn't really up to my standards| Dendodge .. Talk^Contribs 18:30, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

oppose For the same reason that voiced articles are not featurable. Z gin der 2008-08-21T04:34Z (UTC)
Oppose I can't see this sound as a featured sound. It's just one person talking & then done. --Kanonkas : Talk 18:19, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
