I am posting on behalf of Gabe, who is unsure how to do it. Four points: a widely covered topic; Gabe has not yet had any works on the main page; date significance. This recently-promoted article is ready for prime time. -- Dianna (talk) 19:42, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

3 points - no points for date significance just because it would be the anniversary of Lennon's assassination, per long-standing interpretation of the rule on this page. Date appropriateness (i.e. it would be nice to have a Lennon song on that day) is not the same thing as an "obvious and significant connection between the article and the date". It will lose two points to Bencherlite^Talk 20:09, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply

Support Very recently promoted, good day to run it.

Support, agree with
Bencherlite (talk · contribs), it's certainly a great date to post it on for this particular subject matter and day. — Cirt (talk) 00:24, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply

Support "to imagine a world at peace, without the divisiveness and barriers of religious denominations and nationalities, and to consider that people should be living a life less attached to material possessions", well presented, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:55, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The article does not say it is anti-religious, nihilistic, atheistic, and may more of the negative things. Also why there is no criticism section? Also he is against religion generally, not against particular denominations... Regards.--

Oppose because of the aforementioned issues. The article only praises the song and hides the correct information. Please compare the lyrics with this article, and you will know what I mean. Regards.--

Why do you consider "anti-religious, nihilistic, atheistic," and so on negative? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:27, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Specially as Lennon singing that no heaven, religion, possessions, or countries would be a positive thing to the world. Anyway, Support. igordebraga ≠ 00:39, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've just cut out a lot of lit-crit verbiage, without, I think, removing any useful content. Good to have it for the anniversary. As Lou Reed (approximately) said, "Imagine no possessions, ?!#&?!" Support---Rothorpe (talk) 00:45, 16 November 2012 (UTC). Support withdrawn pending reinstatement of my edits. The literary criticism section is an embarrassment. Rothorpe (talk) 01:19, 16 November 2012 (UTC)---OK, can support again now. Rothorpe (talk) 23:28, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Well-written article with no outstanding issues as far as I can see. The date is appropriate, as well. Evanh2008 ^{(talk|contribs)} 10:09, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
