Suggest withdrawal and submittal to WP:PR. Overquoting, incomplete citations, MOS house-style issues; more work needed to prepare for FAC standards. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:33, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I think you're more likely to get the right feedback for this article at WP:PR or WP:GAN. If you can find a wikiproject that's both experienced at FAC and interested in this article, that may help you get this through FAC in the long run. There's a lot to work on here; just picking out one part of the lead: "Azurmendi is an intellectual who studies the problem more than the solution. Azurmendi's essays cover modern European topics in great depth and knowledge. He has incorporated the philosophy and thinking of European thinkers, especially German ones." What's an intellectual ... someone who's smart? What problem? What solution? What are modern European topics? What's the philosophy of European thinkers? These words don't communicate much to someone not already familiar with the man. - Dank (push to talk) 22:48, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
