Ongoing

Bring Futurama up to FA status.
Better define article assessment levels and reassess to include C class.

Needs attention

All images linked in any Futurama article need to have a fair use rationale, this includes:
- ~~episode articles~~ done
- Character and list of character pages
- All miscellaneous pages (as linked in the Futurama template)
All episode pages need to meet the standards of WP:NTVEP. A basic layout for how this can be accomplished is under discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Futurama/Archive 2#Episode article organization-revisited. Examples to follow include "Space Pilot 3000" and "Hell Is Other Robots".

List all episodes?[edit]

The article currently lists every episode of Futurama however many of them did not have guest stars. Would it be appropriate to remove those episodes which do not have guest stars? They do not seem to add much to the article's subject. Star dust 8212 01:31, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, do that. Also, given the recent mass-AFD-ing of Futurama articles, I suggest moving this to List of Futurama cast members, adding the regular cast at the top and who they voice. I also recommend referencing as many appearances to third-party sources as possible. IIRC the "Martyn and Wood" book the people at WP:SIMPSONS frequently use has a short Futurama appendix that can be used to reference those who appeared in the first season. The TV Guide website likely has individual appearances listed for other episodes. Brad 14:57, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seems reasonable, I didn't create the page but I'm working on the references now, I might try to track down that book some time. I'll leave the move for a bit to see if anyone else responds but I'm not against it if someone else wants to be Bold. Star dust 8212 15:49, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At what point is someone considered a guest star?[edit]

Kath Soucie and Frank Welker are both credited as guest stars whenever they appear on the show, and whilst they've appeared in a lot of episodes, it's not enough for them to be considered part of the show's main cast. They're not listed on the show's main page's cast list either so should they be added to this list despite not really being celebrities and the fact that they appear in so many episodes each? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Omega cyber turnip (talk • contribs) 23:40, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
