Hello. Thank you for nominating this article to GAN. Looking through this article, I will have to quick-fail this article due to WP:GAFAIL criteria #1. Specifically, this is a long way from reaching criteria #3 Broadness. Comparing this article to another reality television GA, Love Island (American season 1), there are a lot of things missing. Without this information, this article looks incomplete. Here are some examples:

  • There is no background information about the show. What are the rules? When was this series announced? Where/when was the series filmed? For example, Vail Daily explains the judges voting and how television viewers could vote as well.
  • Each week only provides the scores, and not a recap of each episode. What did the judges/contestants have to say about each dance?
  • The Week 2 section mentions a Bottom 2 but it's not in the scoring chart.
  • The controversy/rematch should be fully talked about in prose instead of only mentioning it in the lead. What led to the controversy? Why was a rematch held? What happened in the rematch? Perhaps all this could be put in a seperate section.
  • There is no reception given in the article. Both Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic have given critic scores to this season. There are also sources for a reception section. Examples include The Globe and Mail and The New York Times.

Alternatively, this article is currently failing criteria #2 Verifiable with no original research. In terms of uncited content, the scoring charts, dance chart and Weeks 1 to 6 do not have citations. There is also original research as none of the given sources in the Rematch section verify the data in that section's table. Overall, there are eight sections of table content that are missing citations. While this is concerning, my main concern is the amount of missing information in this article. I hope you are encouraged to add more to this article while also adding citations as well. Thank you for submitting this article to GAN!
