Review section
I am nominating this featured article for review because... there are major sourcing issues which bring into question whether the article should ever have been granted FA status. I formally raised these over a fortnight ago, and there has been absolutely zero effort to address them. I know it says at WP:FAR that nominators should propose remedies, but the only remedy here is to find sources that are not primary sources or that fail WP:RS. I very much doubt this can be done, but would love to be proved wrong. Mjroots (talk) 02:47, 25 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree that the article needs improvement to meet the high-quality RS requirement. Forum posts—yikes! (t &#183; c)  buidhe  03:11, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd recommend notifying User:Sgeureka (the primary author) as well. They've edited as recently as July.  My involvement with this article is solely with the talk page, not the content.  I hadn't even heard of this show before this article came up on WP:MPE. Hog Farm Talk 03:12, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I have notified sgeureka. Mjroots (talk) 03:27, 25 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Move to FARC - Uses primary and/or dubious sources very heavily; no engagement. Hog Farm Talk 16:40, 30 September 2021 (UTC)and
 * Move to FARC – Much of the Carnivàle featured topic fails to reach modern quality standards, and this is no exception. Too much of this is sourced directly to the show itself via source 8, and there are few secondary sources that offer meaningful support for cited information.

 * - As an aside, I've just sent one of those component lists of the featured topic to WP:FLRC, and List of awards and nominations received by Carnivàle and the mythology GA ain't looking so great either. Hog Farm Talk 06:01, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Issues raised in the review section largely concern sourcing. Nikkimaria (talk) 19:30, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Delist - per my comments above - article is riddled with primary sources and blog posts. No effort made to address concerns. This is my first FAR, so I'm not sure whether I should be commenting here or not, please accept my apologies if I shouldn't be. Mjroots (talk) 08:10, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delist - sourcing is very underwhelming, and no work is occurring. Hog Farm Talk 13:30, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
