List of Doctor Who episodes (2005–present) edit

Featured list removal candidates/List of Doctor Who episodes (2005–present)/archive1

This probably falls into the category of a procedural nomination. Some time ago the Doctor Who serials list was split in two, and both articles currently have the FL star. I brought this up on FLC talk a while back. That discussion produced a general consensus that only the list with the 1963–1989 serials should remain an FL (pending a recommended review), and that this list should have its star removed since it is more likely to have unreferenced additions and other issues than the one with the older serials. However, WP:FL only includes this list, not the 1963–1989 one, which is the opposite of what the FLC talk page discussion recommended. My opinion is that this list doesn't meet the criteria anywway, as the lead doesn't appear to have much to do with the modern series, among other issues. I'll create a nomination for the community to review, but I recommend a speedy delist here. Giants2008 (Talk) 00:19, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delist As the splitter of the article to the 1963–1989 and 2005–present articles, I support the removal of the FL status. When the article was a FL, it was a completely separate list of episodes from the season articles anyways, not transcluded from those articles. I believe that it could be renominated, but as for now, it doesn't conform to the guidelines. -- Alex^TW 03:08, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delist Agree with assessment above, also contains outdated language such as "The following table..." etc. Mattximus (talk) 23:26, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - hate to sound dumb, but if it can be fixed and then renominated, why not fix now? then you don't have to delist it in the first place. This is what bothers me about wiki. People see something wrong with an article, and the first thought is "let's do some 'procedural nomination'" rather than "let's fix it" 2A02:C7D:159:6A00:559E:E7AC:647D:719C (talk) 18:11, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The procedural delist nomination isn't about not wanting to do work on an article that needs work; if you read the linked discussion it's that when the original list was promoted it included almost none of the seasons that are in this list, so when it got split into 2 it was decided that the star stayed only with the pre-2005 list, while this one would need a new FLC. --Pres N 15:33, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Additional - There I've made a start by removing two paragraphs from the intro that only cover the 63-89 article. ore info could be trimmed of course, but I've leave discussion of exactly how much to re-explain to the article talk page. 2A02:C7D:159:6A00:559E:E7AC:647D:719C (talk) 18:15, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Additional 2 - and guess what, someone reverted it. Another of my wiki gripes - an IP tries to help out, and it's assumed to be vandalism. Oh well, go through your "procedural nomination" then, rather than actually trying to improve wikipedia. 2A02:C7D:159:6A00:559E:E7AC:647D:719C (talk) 18:19, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Giants2008 for a "speedy delist", this has now been languishing since late-June. I suggest PresN takes a look because I'm mildly involved. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:08, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Speedy" closing. --Pres N 21:42, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
