Airbus A300[edit]

Nominator(s): Bredyhopi (talk) 23:59, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the Airbus A300, it is important to aviation history, it was the first twinjet ever to be ETOPS certified and changed the aviation market forever since. It had a tough battle against the trijets, the DC/MD 10/MD 11. Bredyhopi (talk) 23:59, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose has citation needed tags, indicating a lack of preparation. Nom does not appear to be a major contributor to the article. (t · c) buidhe 00:10, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm in agreement with buidhe above, this is probably not ready for a run at FAC yet. As buidhe noted, there are several citation needed tags on the page. There are also numerous seemingly unsourced paragraphs and I see at least one bare URL in the references and several missing information. I would suggest going for GA status or perhaps opening a peer review first. Kosack (talk) 07:39, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest working this up further before resubmitting. Possibly at PR and possibly taking it through GAN. Gog the Mild (talk) 18:50, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
