and a leisurely glance at the article, I feel it also wouldn't meet 1a. In short, like Jared said, it's way too early to be even considering FA, let alone making a serious attempt at it. I'm sure that in the future, this will become one of our best articles (the number of references certainly

Can someone perhaps just delete this whole nomination? This article is very well sourced, and may someday reach a stability point that would make it a suitable FA. Or perhaps not deleting this, but

The events are still developing and the new sources are still unstable, but if this article has more pictures and it's nominated again in a week, I think it could possibly become featured.
243: 344:
This article is still developing with new reports and information. Until the news reports, and the police report has concluded, I don't believe that this should be an FA.

102:. Clearly does not meet the stable criterion. Further, because it is only 3 days after is is safe to assume that it is not comprehensive. From comments made in 425: 40: 30: 17: 252:
way too unstable, way too soon. Maybe in the future but there is way too much going on here right now to even consider giving it that little star.

not stable due to the recent nature of the event. Also has a maintenance tag on it ("This article is becoming very long"). --

Sorry to say but I think we need to wait at least a month (4 weeks) or so until the media storm over this dies down.

article, in fact it may even be feature quality, but it is absolutely not ready to be featured yet. --

I don't think the article is stable enough yet to meet the requirements
151:. This article is changing extremely rapidly (1000's of edits per day). 315:. Too unstable right now, conflict over the name of the article, ect. 424:
Subsequent comments should be made on the article's talk page or in

now, I say we hold off, and you possibly withdraw this nomination.
