I am nominating this for featured article because it meets the FA criteria and is important to highlight the aspects of the Polled Dorset sheep to the general wikipedia community as time, experiment, resources, collaboration and studies all contribute from a classroom prospective.-- Isaiahgee ( talk) 22:32, 6 May 2013 (UTC) reply
Comment Have you followed the FAC instructions which includes: "Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article prior to a nomination"? Graham Colm ( talk) 18:07, 28 May 2013 (UTC) reply
Oppose. While I've no doubt that this makes a solid GA, I do not feel that it is ready for FA status. I've cleaned up the references cited, but a quick Google Scholar search shows that there is a wealth of published academic material on this breed, and that's the kind of literature the article would ideally be based on. I suspect that these articles will also contain information that the article does not. I've cited a few as an example in a further reading section. J Milburn ( talk) 10:57, 30 May 2013 (UTC) reply
