The rules for FAC specifically say that FA status can't be refused for a reason that can't be fixed, so by the letter of the law, all articles can become featured with enough work.
Unfortunately that doesn't reflect the reality of things, as anyone who has worked on areas subject to systemic bias (and thus a lack of sources) can tell you.
Not to mention that there are a number of articles that are comprehensive at 4 or 5 paragraphs that are unlikely to make the FA grade because so little is known in the grand scheme of things.
I'm okay with that, but yeha.
