I am nominating this featured article for review because there seem to be a number of issues such as spelling errors, duplicates and places that don't appear to exist. I posted a comment at Talk:List of Shetland islands#Large number of errors in June 2018 which was replied to since I was using the list to create Commons categories for the islands. A number of fixes were made by me and Ben but I didn't remove those I couldn't find on the OS since I wasn't sure if they had a different language name like many Outer Hebrides islands do but most Shetland islands appear to just use the English name. I'm concerned many more errors exist since as noted I didn't remove those that I couldn't find. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 17:04, 30 August 2021 (UTC) reply
Some of the sources are also dubious. Shetlopedia appears to be a wiki, and I'm not convinced that Orkneyjar is particularly reliable. There's also some uncited text. Hog Farm Talk 23:30, 30 August 2021 (UTC) reply
Apologies for a slow reply - I am not very active these days. Quick overview of issues:

I have now been round 80% of the 'Surrounding Islands' section and corrected a few typos. There are also a couple of names I want to check - it can be hard to tell from the OS what feature is being named sometimes. 'Big-nev Geo' for example, sounds like the embayment and it is possible the islet is actually 'Big Nev'. Ben Mac Dui 08:27, 12 September 2021 (UTC) reply
At this point, I'm going to go ahead and close the nomination as kept. The main issue seems to have been resolved as much as is possible, and with no other calls for delisting or any movement for a month, I think we can consider this as resolved. -- Pres N 14:49, 16 October 2021 (UTC) reply

I am nominating this for featured list removal because on the lead alone, it comprises of a single sentence. Moreover, references are provided, but inline citations are not used. The table is not sortable. It was promoted way back in early 2007, and has not been reviewed since. Currently, it fails WP:FLCR#1, #2, #3b, and #4. Various similar lists since have been de-listed, due to particularly the same issue. Unfortunately, it doesn't meet the current Featured list criteria, and should be delisted.

I am nominating this for featured list removal because this was article was made an FL in 2008, and no longer meets the requirements for it today. Most notably, there are no sources that verify the affiliation that some of these individuals had to UPenn. The general source at the bottom article does not cover several of the entries on the list, and notably excludes Martin Luther King Jr., who has a tenuous relationship to the institution at best. The list claims that he was a "Graduate Student, 1950–1951", but even UPenn itself only claims that he audited three philosophy courses while studying at the Crozer Theological Seminary. [7] MLK's article does not mention UPenn in any way. The lede contains little information on the list itself (I would hardly consider the exact size of the cash prize of the award over time useful for this sort of article), and leaves the criteria for inclusion on the list incredibly vague. Punctuation of degrees is inconsistent (the style guide indicates that there shouldn't be any). The article does not the accessibility requirements for FL, and none of the sources are archived. Most egregious, however, is the fact that the number of entries on the list and count presented in the article match neither the number of laureates stated in List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation or by the university itself; every other article on a specific school's Nobel laureates is presented as an offshoot of the "official" List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation page, which makes me think that this list is nowhere near comprehensive enough.

The University of Pennsylvania considers laureates who attended the university as undergraduate students, graduate students or were members of the faculty as affiliated laureates.Degree punctuation and alt text are trivial fixes, and archiving can be handled by IABot, which I have now run. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 23:56, 18 August 2021 (UTC) reply
I'm going to go ahead and close this as delisted. There hasn't been any movement on this after 2 months with multiple editors agreeing to delist; additionally, I agree that the entire subject is questionable. "Associated with" is suspect, as UPenn had nothing to do with the prize itself, and in most cases nothing to do with the research beyond being somewhere that the researcher once went to school. It's an arbitrary slicing of the data to give unearned prestige to a school. -- Pres N 14:49, 16 October 2021 (UTC) reply
