Xx (album)

Xx (album) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Toolbox
Nominator(s): Dan56 (talk) 11:46, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

This article is about the debut album by English indie pop band the xx. It exceeded expectations in the media and was a sleeper hit in both the United Kingdom and the United States. The album also received widespread acclaim from critics and won the Mercury Prize in 2010. The previous FAC did not reach a consensus. Dan56 (talk) 11:46, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Comments from Spike Wilbury

Object as in the previous nomination. I find it a bit curious that this was opened when little was done during the first nomination to address objections (other than negating them) and nothing of substance has been done to the article since the last nomination closed. It closed with three open objections, 2 of which directly reference plagiarism concerns. I also find it troubling that you notified three editors of this nomination, but failed to notify any of the editors who opposed the last one. I can't help but to feel you are trying to sneak it under the radar. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 00:37, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Spike Wilbury, the only objections were from you and RationalObserver, who applied his personal standard for paraphrasing, which he attempted unsuccessfully to promote and rewrite policy WP:Village Pump and WP:PLAGIARISM (), , ). Snuggums was ultimately "neutral", while Tezero gave a "tentative support", and Ian Rose concluded they wasn't enough to determine a consensus. The burden is not on me to rewrite the article to meet your or RationalObserver's preferences. The same reviewers would lead to the same conclusion, which was no consensus--I invited different reviewers--you have a problem with that? Dan56 (talk) 17:26, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
