Nominator(s): Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 00:20, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe that the article is well-written, comprehensive, and has everything needed for a list-article to pass the FL-criteria. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 00:20, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Are the non-linked nominees not notable enough to have their own article (or be redlinked)?
  • For GQ hailed the show as one of the best of the decade, and IndieWire ranked BoJack Horseman as the greatest animated TV show of all time, you could move ref 13 after the comma.
  • Is there any chance you could expand the lede?

That's all for now. ~ HAL333 16:37, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Alexandra

  • The picture of Schaal lacks alt text
  • Is there any reason why IndieWire is not italicized?
  • Link depression and addiction the first time they are mentioned (and not on later mentions)
  • Looks good otherwise - ping me when you have responded to the above.--AlexandraIDV 12:14, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Alexandra IDV: I have added alt text to the main image and fixed the links of depression and addiction in the lead. However, IndieWire is a publisher, and as a result, shouldn't be italicized. Other than that, all your other suggestions have been addressed. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 13:31, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for the edits and the clarification, I have confirmed that everything has been resolved.--AlexandraIDV 13:36, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Some Dude From North Carolina: that works except that you should not have a hyphen in "adult-animated". "Adult-animated" would indicate "animated by adults" rather than "animation aimed at adults". Presumably it is indeed animated by adults but I don't believe that's what you mean :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:25, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: The sourcing and formatting for this list are good – my only comments there are that the BTVA Awards are not really notable and there is an NAACP Image Award that could be added. However, I'm concerned about the list's length. ~40 items isn't very long, and it could probably fit into the Bojack Horseman article without issue. Indeed, looking back at that page's history, it seems that the list was already there in mostly the same condition (just sorted by year instead of award) until you created this page, and I can't find any discussion from you or other users on the talk page about splitting the awards section into its own article. There's no set cutoff for a standalone awards list, but past discussion has indicated that anywhere from ~30 to ~50-60 awards should be the minimum required for a standalone list. I think we should try to clear this up and establish what that lower boundary should be, and then we can figure out if this should be its own page.

  • @RunningTiger123: Per your suggestions, the Behind The Voice Actors Awards have been removed and the NAACP Image Award nomination has been added. About the status of this list in general, I just want to point out that per your own reasoning that "anywhere from ~30 to ~50-60 awards should be the minimum required for a standalone list", this list already has a reason to stay without any discussion. Additionally, a short list, such as the one for awards received by Carnivàle, can reach FL-status, so length isn't an issue. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 23:48, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify my point: I was trying to say that some people thought the cutoff should be set around ~30 awards and some thought it should be around ~50-60. This list clears the former but not the latter, which is why I wanted to try to settle this. As to the Carnivàle list, that's really not the gold standard for FLs; it either needs a major overhaul or to be delisted. (As a side note, the reviewers even let the infobox contradict the lead; one says 10 wins/33 noms and the other says 9/21. FL nominations were certainly different back then.) At any rate, I don't think it's the standard we should look to set a precedent for today's FL nominations. In short, I am still concerned by length and think it could possibly go back into the Bojack Horseman article. I would really like to get others' opinions on this, though.

Comments Support from Gerald Waldo Luis edit

I just watched the first episode of this, and it was.... fine. After all my comments got resolved, I'll support this.

* "...the series tells the story of an anthropomorphic horse named BoJack Horseman (voiced by Will Arnett), the washed-up star of a 1990s sitcom who plans his return to celebrity relevance with an autobiography to be written by ghostwriter Diane Nguyen (Alison Brie)." Suggest "...the series tells the story of the eponymous anthropomorphic horse (voiced by Will Arnett), who is a washed-up star of a 1990s sitcom who plans his return to celebrity relevance with an autobiography to be written by ghostwriter Diane Nguyen (Alison Brie)."

  • In the notes, I suggest separating the citations. So for bullet 1, for example, "Season 1 holds a 69% approval rating based on 26 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes[1] and a score of 59 based on 13 reviews on Metacritic.[2]" It's much cleaner and more appropriate IMO.

  • Add publishers to the references.
 Doing... Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk?
 Done Publishers have been added. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk?
  • The author parameter in all citations that has them have the full name in the "last" parameter, when the last and first name should be divided.
 Not done per WP:CITEVAR, the "author" parameter is already in use. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk?
  • Merge all columns that state the same thing. For example, if three consecutive rows state "BoJack", then just merge all.
 Not done per consistency with other FL-articles such as the lists for Better Call Saul awards and for awards earned by Community. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk?
  • Regarding the redlinks, are they valid? Redlinks are only for actually-notable subjects.
I added them per comments left above by HAL333, and as they're all "actually-notable", and could become articles someday. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk?

@Gerald Waldo Luis: I have added comments to your suggestions. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 14:19, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nice job making the publisher thing in no time (if I were you I'd procrastinate four months). I now support this. I would suggest a portal bar, but that doesn't affect FLCs; feel free to do it or not. But personally I love putting portal bars. GeraldWL 14:38, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Love the idea! Portals have been added. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk?
Noice! See ya in another nomination 30 years later, when I will nominate List of accolades received by Interstellar an FLC. GeraldWL 15:07, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think since you've mentioned that BoJack is an anthromorphic horse, it's worth noting the other characters' species too as to a non-expert they might just assume all the other characters are human. Or horses.
  • "of Sarah Lynn" there's no context or description for this character, just a name.
  • "Kristen Schaal's portrayal of Sarah Lynn ..." is a complete sentence, needs a full stop.

That's it. Good work. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:40, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
