Talk:Ash Ketchum/Featured article candidate/Nomination 1

Support (11)

• Definitely one of the best on Bulbapedia. Very complete, interesting, etc. Easily as good as, if not better than the Legendary Pokemon and Poké Ball articles. ~RR~ 00:55, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

• Amazing character, amazing article. Better than Brock. I completly agree on this one. PL12 12:20, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

• Yes, I definitely think the Ash Ketchum article deserves to be a featured article. It's very worthy of earning this award! And I'm saying this not only because Ash is my favorite character, but also because this is an AMAZING article overall! It's very informative, it's interesting, and it actually explains just about everything there is to know about the character. And in my opinion, you could not find a better character to be featured. Ash, the main character truly deserves this honor!! ^_^ PokemonTrainerLisa 09:36, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

• This is a nice article. Very comprehensive, although somewhat a bit erratic, but it's nicely made. I give it two thumbs up. JirachiWishmaker0802

• Good Article very well put but needs to fixed in some place(trivia and etc..)--CoolPikachu! 22:13, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

• support its definately one of the best and informative articles on BP, also DCM i dont think you can say it shouldnt be nominated because YOU find the character boring, thats nothing to do with the quality of the article. --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010 09:47, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

• A Brilliant article so much information. Its very informative and can easily fill in a person who has never seen he anime before. It's very intresting it explains everything fully and who's better to be a featured article than the main character? I think the Trivia section is great even though everyone else dislikes it. Trivia's fun and intresting, why get rid of it?--Davidaipom 10:07, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

• Of course this page should be a featured article, as Ash is the main character of the Show. §hin¥£iΨ@chµ 17:49, 1 November 2008 (UTC):P

• Include all the Pokémon he has, even unheard-of ones like Seaking is included. Detailed information, especially with his character development.-Billy4b2004 06:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

• An awesome article, very enjoyable to read and understand about the character --Force ^Fire 07:11, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

• Maybe I am just mean and Coldhearted, but I find Ash to not be original enough, unlike BrockUser:Darth Cookie Monster 00:49, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
• The trivia section is WAY too out of control to be nominated. Fix it and I might change my mind. --☆ケンジガール 22:11, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
• The trivia and list of Pokémon are kind of ridiculous, and the neutrality of the article is definitely skewed. --Martonimos_{((Argh|Blargh))} 21:25, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
• See Kenji-girl's comment. Mine is pretty much the same. In addition, I hate Ash... :P --ニョロトノ666 21:58, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
• I agree with the other four and LostDrewid, its trivia is somewhat bad not how it was, and the fact that people just like him because he is the main character makes it hard to actually vote for a reasonable reason.--^Psychic_Rider^☆ 21:23, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
• You know what? The trivia section looks longer than section 1.1 to 1.2! I felt that there are some unnecessary trivia in that section. And to be honest, I don't really like Ash, although he's the main character. I mean, since the first episode, he was proven to be very reckless and until now, he's still reckless and stubborn! I can see the side characters improving themselves a little by little, but for Ash, maybe a little, but not much.

• Leave Ash alone, he is briliant. The best character EVER! The wp:Zac Efron of the Pokémon World.--Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010

Other comments

My biggest concern about this article being nominated is that some votes will inevitably be skewed by the popularity of the character. Look at two of the votes already: instead of examining the worth of the article, he's compared with Brock. I feel quite strongly that these sorts of comments have absolutely no place in the decision regarding this article's candidacy for Featured Article status. LostDrewid 01:59, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Another concern is that for vandals, this is one of the largest targets. I'm somewhat worried about that. ^ht14 03:40, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
