edit conflict you may be slightly confused about what 'listing' means a fa is listed as an fa from the moment it is promoted becoming the tfa however is a different matter and some fas have a year or more without being the tfa it depends on many factors as ultimately determined by raul given that the rate of growth of fas is afaik greater then one a day this isn't likely to change anytime soon tfa is really somewhat seperate from the fa process the only connection is that tfas must be fas of course being a tfa should be thought of as a bonus more then anything else and there's nothing intrinsicly different between an fa which has been tfa and one that hasn't they're all fas and if they not they should be put up for far btw the our lady article is not an fa if you feel it meets the fa criteria then you should consider nominating it
