My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

 * Nominator(s): Pamzeis (talk) 04:46, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

The sixth FAC nomination of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, hopefully it'll be the charm. I nominated this article previously almost two months ago but it failed due to lack of engagement. It's gone through another peer review with helpful comments from Z1720, Laser brain, Wizzito, Kavyansh.Singh and Pseud 14. Now, it's hopefully ready. Let's just believe that: Friendship is magic.

Oppose The prose remains well short of FA standard I'm afraid, as it is often needlessly unclear or overly complex. Some illustrative examples from random spot checks are: As I think that the prose would need a lot of work and this article has failed five previous FACs, I don't see much likelihood of this sixth nomination passing. Sorry. Nick-D (talk) 06:30, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * "Hasbro, Inc. has produced several incarnations of the My Little Pony franchise, often labeled by collectors as "generations"" - collectors of what?
 * " With many brands, including My Little Pony, the company uses a multi-generational plan as a template" - a template for what?
 * "According to Margaret Loesch, CEO of The Hub, revisiting properties that had worked in the past was an important decision in televised media, which was somewhat influenced by the opinions of the network's programming executives, several of whom were once fans of such shows" - over complicated and hard to understand
 * "Animator and writer Lauren Faust approached Hasbro to develop her girls' toys property "Galaxy Girls" into an animated series" - when?
 * "had been unsuccessfully pitching animation aimed at girls for years, as studios and networks considered cartoons for girls unsuccessful" - repetitive
 * "Faust was initially hired by Hasbro to create a pitch bible for the show, which allowed her to get additional help with conceptualization" - this is unclear
 * " When designing the settings, she sent photo references to artist Dave Dunnet" - as nobody has been mentioned by name in this para prior to the 'she', who is is referring to is unclear.
 * "Hasbro Studios and a season's story editor employed writers" - unclear (what's 'a season's story editor'?), and this seems a statement of the obvious given that writers were clearly needed.

I would like to withdraw this nomination per the issues pointed out by Nick-D. Apologies for any inconvenience. Pamzeis (talk) 11:40, 5 December 2021 (UTC) (t &#183; c)  buidhe  11:41, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
