I am nominating this featured article for review because I feel it now at a level far below Featured Article status. Since it was nominated in 2005 it has been overwhelmed by poorly-written trivial information in the 'popular culture' section and I feel that the article in its current form is not comparable to the article that was nominated seven years ago. As well as the trivial information that has crept in, as mentioned, I think the main concern is the amount of unsourced or poorly sourced information; there are very noticeably over 20 CN tags in this relatively short article and the amount has recently increased, rather than decreased. Concerns about the poor standard have been raised several times - e.g. twice since November 2011 - but the only major edits since that time have been to add more CA tags and no real attempts to improve the article have been made.
I think frankly this article is an embarrassment to FA status because of its poor quality. I would suggest that improvements could be made, but they should not be made whilst this article is FA status (I should note that if any major improvements took place then the article would no longer be stable and static). I suggest that the article should be delisted as a Featured Article unless drastic measures are taken very, very soon. -- Peter Talk page 17:33, 8 July 2012 (UTC) reply
