I'll take this one. Bennv123 (talk) 09:52, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I have to quickfail this. Here are some glaring issues:

Potential copyright violation: The most concerning issue. The plot summary in this article has some overlap with an external blog, although it is not clear whether Wikipedia copied the blog, or the blog copied Wikipedia. This needs to be clarified.
Unreferenced content: I added a {{citation needed}} tag in the "Release & Reception" section. But besides the plot and ratings, most of the content in the lead is not mentioned or sourced anywhere else in the article. Please note that the WP:LEAD should summarize the body of the article, and claims made in the lead should be verified in the body as well.
Lack of broad coverage: Besides the plot and reception, there should, at the very least, be a section covering some basic production aspects of the episode. The "Release and reception" section also only highlights 3 reviews (IGN, AV Club, PTC) and does not give a representative overview of what critics' thought. For example, the lead claims "critics praised its storyline and numerous cultural references", yet the reception section only says negative things about the episode. Moreover, undue weight seems to be given to PTC, especially considering it is a partisan source. Overall, the article only cites 5 references, which doesn't inspire confidence that it reflects a broad survey of reliable sources.

Based on these issues, I think the article meets WP:QF. Bennv123 (talk) 10:19, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re: copyright issues[edit]

Regarding potential copyright violations brought up at Talk:Pilot (The Cleveland Show)/GA1, I've looked at the article history and it's pretty clear the external blog is the one that copied from Wikipedia (specifically The Cleveland Show (season 1)).
