Oppose Quite simply it's too short. Buc 17:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose Doesn't match the criteria actually. Fails 1c - please review citeweb. LuciferMorgan 18:36, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose Contains absolutely no information on the creation of the show- how it was decided to create (or, at least, adapt) the series, who is in charge of production (directors, writers- and there are writers- etc.), and how contestants are chosen. No information about the popularity of the show- zero ratings information, zero critical reviews, and mention of a single award. Poor sentence structure in spots, especially in the lead. References are few and far between- there are none in "Format" or "The Board", and in particular, the latter section definitely needs some sourcing- and they are not properly cited, offering only the title of a work and not the author, publication/site, date of publication, and/or date of retrieval. In a couple of instances, the footnotes come before punctuation. Pure and simple, I would not even promote this as a GA, much less an FA. -- Kicking222 22:43, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Off to a good start, but contains no sections about reception or production. --thedemonhog talk contributions 23:57, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Adequate as far as it goes I guess, but pretty unremarkable both in terms of writing style and content (I contributed some parts). Matt 19:06, 13 April 2007 (UTC).
