Nominated by: SuperFlash101, 13:38, July 16, 2009‎ (UTC) Reason(s) for nomination: I am nominating this article because I believe it fits all criteria as considered to be an FA. The prose I believe is fine, as well as all the information being from cited episodes and sources. It as well is currently rated as FA status by the Speed Demons PF-Project, so that's something too, right? lol.  The Flash  {talk}

Dan Povenmire
Nominated by: SuperFlash101, 01:48, November 9, 2009 (UTC) Reason(s) for nomination: I believe this article successfully meets FA requirements — the prose is clear, the info is sourced, images are good quality, and all information is there.


 * Support - Phin68  Fall Time!  02:49, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. I've made a few adjustments to the article that should have caught the last of the typos. All that really needs to be done is to retrieve a copy of the USC article from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine since USC took it down, and to create a page for "Let's All Dance until We Get Sick". — RRabbit42 03:23, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * Info: I have provided a new link to the archive of the USC article and updated the one for the MSN page (though the videos are no longer available online). I have also created the page for Let's All Dance until We Get Sick and L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. I do not see any further improvements that are needed for this article. — RRabbit42 06:15, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Got Game?
Nominated by: SuperFlash101, 03:18, July 18, 2009‎ (UTC) Reason(s) for nomination: RRabbit wrote this page and I believe it fits up with all standards. The prose is clear, their is sufficient information and plot, all in all a fantastic article.


 * Info: As part of the nomination process, we need to identify what part(s), if any, need to be fine-tuned. List them and we'll get them updated. — RRabbit42 04:28, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support: I think this article is worthy of this title since it has a nice, long summary, a gallery with adequate pictures and all the other things that makes a article great.—Ardi~(Talk)~( Correspondence ) 04:37, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support: Summary is excellent, and the rest is great. Haven't seen the episode in awhile, but it seems like there's got to be more than the single allusion in the episode. —Topher ( Talk ) 04:18, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support: An amazing article, very good summary.-- Avatar Talk 00:22, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Heinz Doofenshmirtz
Nominated by: SuperFlash101, 03:04, July 17, 2009 (UTC) Reason(s) for nomination: A former AM who's status time has passed a few months ago, so it's eligible. I believe this article deserves the status because it fits the criteria. It as well has been greatly contributed by both I, Topher, and several other users. I understand some out of focus stuff is in the section structure, but I can fix that if you believe it's necessary.


 * Support: Ditto, Flash.—Ardi~(Talk)~( Correspondence ) 04:00, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Ditto, Flash. Phin68  talk to Phin68  02:14, 20 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - Ditto, Flash.  Heinz-fan  talk to Heinz-fan  02:14, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * First, I change your signature - don't steal other people's signature. Second, can you guys give actual reasons, please. Every single nomination so far has just been "ditto" - this isn't what this is supposed to be about. We're supposed to be giving actual reasons. I'm sorry, this has just been bothering me.  The Flash  {talk} 15:34, 20 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - This article gets my vote, along with the following recommendations:
 * Move some of the details in the opening five paragraphs down to the body of the page so that the first section returns to being an initial summary.
 * Will do.
 * Done.
 * There's a typo in the paragraph about Heinz being forced to wear dresses ("lack of cloth's left").
 * Fixed.
 * We need to double-check the flashbacks for when Heinz was standing in for the lawn gnome. The part about Balloony flying off doesn't look right where it is.
 * How?
 * Teenage Years section: the wording of "obtaining his own frauline" should be checked. You usually don't "obtain" a girlfriend.
 * Fixed.
 * Birthdays. We probably need to add a connection between the sad birthdays Heinz had as a child and how he seems to be going overboard to make up for it each time Vanessa's birthday rolls around.
 * Will do in a bit.
 * Done.
 * Personality and Traits section: typo (cloche)
 * Fixed.
 * I may have more later, but this will get us started on the way to fine-tuning into FA status. — RRabbit42 04:46, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I fixed most things, but the Balloony thing I'm not sure about. I also added some more sources and rearranged the career/personal life.  The Flash  {talk} 15:40, 22 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose: Already featured. Phinster 10:39, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Phinster, AM is long gone now. So that means it's no longer featured. What we are able to do now is to turn former AMs to FAs. Get what I mean? Phin68  talk to Phin68  14:50, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly. I had a feeling this might happen with the star up...  The Flash  {talk} 15:57, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Support: This is a great article and thta's why it should be a featured article. (Not to mention it should have been a featured article way back.)  Perryfan   (TALK)  23:17, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support: I worked on this article as part of my ongoing project to edit all of the Season 1 episode pages, and therefore, I am more than happy to nominate this article as a "Featured Article". BigNeerav 01:12, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support: I agree. Nice page, except for the bad(ish) formatting (which I just fixed...:) ). —Zaggy (talk) 03:43, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

Sherman
Nominated by: SuperFlash101, 17:20, July 21, 2009 (UTC) Reason(s) for nomination: I've expanded this article five fold and believe it has all bits of information and good prose/sourcing. I am, however, open to improvements and would love it if the reviewers could suggest cleanup. Thanks.


 * Support: I was a bit skeptical until I actually read it. Now, my jaw has dropped to the floor. Oh. My. Golly. Amazing article! Chimchar, I choose you!  18:12, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! What exactly were you skeptical about? Any suggestions and I will surely fix it up - this is step one for my project, trying to get all related articles on them to FA class, which is apart of the song PF-Project.  The Flash  {talk} 18:59, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Just that he was only featured in one episode, so I thought there wouldn't be much in there. Great job overhauling it! Chimchar, I choose you!  15:38, 30 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Support: Flash and other members have improved it more over the last months and it will make a great featured article. --Perryfan 23:19, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
