 * Nominator's comment: Potential copyvio flagged by bot is a cited quote. The uncited paragraphs are plot summary, one short paragraph per season. Thanks.— TAnthonyTalk 14:46, 29 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg I believe the 3b rule can be waived because it would make little sense to have a citation in the middle of a quote box, but can you really not find sources for the plot summary? There are six of these paragraphs and season 6 plot summary is anything but short. Everything else seems fine, as confirmed by the bot and GA reviewer. Surtsicna (talk) 00:01, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, in this case I think the entire quote, even though it is more than one sentence, should be considered a "sentence" for the sake of the citation, since the quote is separated from other pghs and the citation clearly applies to the entire thing.
 * Straightforward, uncontroversial plot summaries are not usually cited in book, film, and television articles, and the article just got promoted to Good status without them in this section. Hotel Chevalier (film) is the FA for 9/2, "The Man Trap" (TV episode) is the FA for 9/8, and Diamonds Are Forever (novel) was promoted to FA in September 2015 (couldn't find a really recent book FA), none of these have citations in the plot section. I personally might cite them if I ever try to get this article to FA, but I think it's fine for a DYK. I'm not aware of a rule that every pgh has to be cited no matter what, even though the new bot checks for it.— TAnthonyTalk 16:27, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
