I will review this. BTW, to stall, there is a disambig link present in the article, please fix that. Also, most of the sections is poorly or not sourced, please add to it, otherwise I may quick-fail this. Please also watch the reference section as the date format is inconsistent. Thanks.

Review
First, thanks Arunreginald, Smsarmad and Umais Bin Sajjad for working on the article since I posted here. BTW, here's the review. Also, For everything here, your short response is welcome.

For now, this is my review. I know you can do it and pass this article to GA status. I'm putting this article on hold for 7 days. If the issues are not fixed by that time, I'm afraid but I have no choice but to fail it. Thanks. Mediran ( t  •  c ) 03:25, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

The article also needs ratings data. How many households do you think viewed the premiere or a regular episode? Do you have any available sources about this? Thanks. Mediran ( t  •  c ) 09:52, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

User:Mediran, First of all I thank you for your co-operation/contribution to Pakistan Idol. According to your above mentioned review I tried my best along with other editor fellows to fix issues and improve the article. Please take a look & review it again so that we can sought it out further. Thanks! UBS talk  15:58, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Part II
This is actually not part II but I want a new section so here it is. BTW, the article is better now. My only problem on passing it is the "Selection process", "Series overview and season synopsis", and "Reception" sections because they are too short and some are lacing sources. Please add statements mentioned in the lead to the body.


 * Selection process
 * Great but all it needs are sources. I know WP:COMMONSENSE may apply here but it really needs verification. Its subsections also need expansion. The problem is that the show has only broadcast 8 episodes and we can only expand (eg the "Finals" section) when the final show premiered. I'm still thinking about this. But you can improve this.


 * Series overview and season synopsis
 * Just like what is above, this section is too short and the show has only one season. The "series overview" itself is not an overview because there is currently only one season. A series of 41 episodes are planned for the first season with special behind-the-scenes episodes which will be aired during the finals week, which is mentioned in the lead, should be added here. BTW, let's say that the show has been completed and will only have a season, I would recommend you to look the format of the article Philippine Idol, w/c is a GA.


 * Reception
 * This section is OK. However, the criticism of the humiliating attitudes of the judges should be expanded because this is something worth learning or knowing. Also, the article needs info about the show's ratings. Please add this. I have this Nearly 50,000 hopefuls attended initial auditions held across the country from conservative Peshawar to the cultural capital, Lahore. "We've seen everything from a street sweeper in Multan to the son of a landowner and politician in Faisalabad," said Mr. Mujeeb. This I think is a good addition to somewhere (if you agree).

I may ask second opinion in reviewing this if the issues are not yet resolved in time. Thanks. Mediran ( t  •  c ) 04:33, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

 * I think these sources contain self-published content, not involved in copy-cat text. That's why make them reliable. Is it must that a source should be like from official sites or some newspaper site? UBS  talk  04:10, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Finally, here I am concluding this review that I opened last December 31. It is almost a month and I'm proud of the improvements since. However, there are still more issues to be resolved and I think those weren't sorted out given that there was weeks available to work this. Regarding th sources, some are actually unacceptable. I enumerated some (above) and they are still not removed. Those sources are WP:SPS. There is also the unsourced statements. I'm doubting the use of File:Pakistan Idol - Judges & Host.jpg because it seems non-free yet it is tagged "Own work". I don't know if the uploader (UBS) took those photos of the judges and hosts. That is rather questionable. I will fail this for you to have more time to address and fix the issues. Mediran ( t  •  c ) 08:05, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
