I believe that it meets all FA citeria to ensure that children's TV comedy show since I started reviewing the article. KGirlTrucker81huh? what I'm been doing 16:05, 26 November 2016 (UTC) Pinging   and others.


 * Comments
 * "The citizens live in mostly aquatic-themed buildings and use "boatmobiles", amalgamations of cars and boats, as a mode of transportation. Recurring establishments present in Bikini Bottom include two competing restaurants, the Krusty Krab and the Chum Bucket; Mrs. Puff's Boating School; and Shady Shoals Rest Home. Goo Lagoon, a popular beach hangout, is within the vicinity of the city, as is Jellyfish Fields. There are also a few episodes with businesses such as the grocery store, joke store, and mattress store." are there really not any sources that back this data up, other than merely watching those episodes?


 * Not only that but further down the page there are several attribution needed templates.


 * December 7, 2010, in the chart--does this deserve two citations instead of one because it is a special date or something?


 * Dates aren't consistently formatted especially in the reference section.


 * Those are all easy fixes good luck on your nomination! 2601:844:4002:B4FF:AD92:2ABD:3078:3FD1 (talk) 05:36, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

'''I posted this a few days ago on the talk page, but never received a reply. So I'll copy it over here as well''': As one of the primary editors of this article, I'm sorry to say that I don't think it's at all ready yet for FA. A few years ago, I did a lot of copy editing, up through some of the Reception section. But before I could finish that section or go any further, I had to stop due to a lack of available time. There's a lot of good information in this article, but there were nonetheless significant problems with the sections that I worked on. And the sections that I couldn't get to likely still have a lot of work that needs to be done on them. If someone wants to make a significant effort, double checking references, improving prose, removing or altering anything that's inaccurate, and adding relevant details that have yet to be included, then that would be great to see happen! But a truly thorough effort to that end would likely take several weeks, possibly even months. And even after some really good copy-editing, there's still a lot of additional content that should be included, particularly about the voice actors and character development. I'm glad that appreciates all of the hard work that, myself, and others have put into this article. But I have to ask that the FA nomination be closed for the time being. --Jpcase (talk) 16:32, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
