There are other issues to consider, namely, this may have just slipped through on FAC--in which case, taking it to FAR will bring it to the attention of the overworked FAC editors, who will try to squeeze more hours out of their day and blood out of rocks, to make sure others don't slip through.

One problem is selection bias; it's only selected by people that are interested in showing up. This generally means either (1) FAC regulars - those with an interest in the featured article process, or; (2) those interested in the subject matter. I note in this case the nomination received only two supports and a few comments for promotion. -Matt

I am the one FAC editor, although an irregular one at best, who ruthlessly supports funky culturally unique and ala mode articles. I save obscure pop artists from deletion, and help editors who are working to bring pop culture articles up to snuff--and I'm good at it. This is an area, along with small biographies, that Wikipedia can excel in, and own the market. I want pop culture articles to be among our very best--that's why I was so cruel in my evaluation of the article, because I care about the topic. The subject matter is, imo, absolutely perfect. It's the angle and style that sucks. KP
