===[[Googie]]===
An interesting article about an unusual type of architecture that everyone knows, even if they don't realize that it has a name (think ''[[Jetsons]]''. I am promised that more pictures are forthcoming. Certainly worthy of people's attention. [[User:Danny|Danny]] 00:21, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
*An interesting article, indeed, but not remotely in the ballpark of featured status. Compare [[Palladian architecture]]. [[User:Ambi|Ambi]] 00:31, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
*I agree; compare it also to the [http://www.spaceagecity.com/googie/ Googie Architecture Online] site that it references to see how much more comprehensive it could be.  Still, the topic is interesting and the article is a good start. [[User:Stevenj|&mdash;Steven G. Johnson]] 00:41, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)
*'''Object''' waaaay too early for this to be considered for FAC, has minimal information. Articles for FAC consideration should be comprehensive, this does not have that feeling. [[User:Alkivar|Alkivar]] 00:51, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
*'''Object'''. Not comprehensive yet, but a good start. Try to compare to other architecture articles and expand. [[User:MacGyverMagic|[[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm]]|<sup>[[User talk:MacGyverMagic|(talk)]]</sup>]] 09:12, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)
*'''Object''':  This is not a bad page, and its an interesting and promising article, but it  needs a lot more information. A longer lead, then definitions or the rules of the form, or was it a  free style of an  era - that sort of thing.  Then more examples, and if possible illustrations and plans, of exponent architects and their work.  Was it domestic, civic, monumental or merely a gimmick?  Why was it not given credence in its own lifetime?  Is it confined to USA or known by an alternative name elsewhere? Why is it so called?  It would be great to see this bought up to featured standard, suggest the nominator withdraws it for a couple of weeks, and addresses and expands a few points [[User:Giano|Giano]] 13:24, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) 
::I have just made a small re-write to the lead section, but above comments still stand [[User:Giano|Giano]] 14:07, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
*'''Object.''' The very first thing I wanted to know when I glanced at the article was "who coined the names ''Googie'' and/or ''Populuxe,'' what is their derivation, and what are they supposed to evoke?" The article doesn't say. Compare [[Art Deco]]... [[User:Dpbsmith|[[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] [[User_talk:dpbsmith|(talk)]]]] 20:53, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
*'''Stall''' This is premature. The entry is still just a sketch. Great images are needed, and they are all around us. --[[User:Wetman|Wetman]] 00:48, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
