I am nominating this for featured article because... as is usual, it's had a peer review, a huge copy-edit by Malleus and all the research I can handle on him. Alexander is the quiet nephew of Roger of Salisbury and was either Nigel's brother or cousin. He was a member of a very powerful Norman ecclesiastical family, who dominated the administration of King Henry I of England. Alexander's less "flashy" than Nigel or Roger, although he was an important patron of both monastics and authors. A shadowy figure, I've tried to do him justice here. Unlike a lot of these guys, there are no real skeletons lurking in his closets, no wife and kids hiding behind the episcopal throne. Ealdgyth - Talk 15:28, 20 December 2010 (UTC) reply
Sources comment: Sources and citations immaculate as far as I can see. No verifications carried out as these are nearly all print sources from texts I don't have. Brianboulton ( talk) 17:49, 20 December 2010 (UTC) reply
Support: I can see no FA criterion that this article fails to meet. It is always a good sign when an article about a subject of which the reader knows nothing holds the attention throughout. This one did. Well-shaped, beautifully referenced, and a pleasure to read. Tim riley ( talk) 15:22, 22 December 2010 (UTC) reply
