[edit] Good article nomination

[edit] First Nomination

This article was nominated on WP:GA/N, but I did not promote it, because some of the prose is not encyclopaedic. The section 'What is a Hoya' is a prime example, using the second person inappropriately and also lacking sources. Section headings need normal sentence capitalisation (WP:MOS) and the lead section needs to summarise all of the article content (WP:LEAD). Worldtraveller 00:39, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Second Nomination

Lead still needs to be expanded per WP:LEAD but everything else is ok. Thanks --Jaranda wat's sup 23:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contradictory descriptions of the term "Hoya"

The first sentence of the "What is a Hoya" section notes that the origin of the term "Hoya" is unknown. But a parenthetical note in the second sentence of the article declares that "the name means 'what' or 'which'". So do we know or don't we? Because one of those ought to go. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.158.252.156 (talk) 02:23, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nikita Mescheriakov

Can anyone assess this article: Nikita Mescheriakov?

Is he a notable basketball player?

Thanks in advance. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 17:12, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

  • He's not notable, in my opinion. I've upgraded the notable tag to a proposed deletion. --M@rēino 19:36, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
