List of Asu no Yoichi! episodes

 * Nominator(s): Extremepro (talk), Kaguya-chan (talk)

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that it has met the criterion for featured list. Extremepro (talk) 10:21, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * It's far to premature to attempt a FL run for this article. There is still a lot of information missing that should be present in the article.
 * There is no information about DVD releases. If you look at every FL at WP:ANIME, you will notice that about every list contains information about the DVD releases.
 * A list has been added about the release dates. Kaguya-chan (talk) 15:39, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * If you can find information about the episode directors and screenwriters, then they should be included into the list.
 * Directors and screenwriters added. Extremepro (talk) 09:36, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I think you misunderstood Farix's comment. He meant directors and screenwriters for individual episodes. You can add this into the table by including the  and   parameters. The information is readily available at episode pages such as this, where 脚本 indicates the screenwriter and 演出 indicates the director. Arsonal (talk) 05:37, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Added director and screenwriters to the list with references. Extremepro (talk) 09:49, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Almost all sources are primary in nature. A Feature List should contain a good mix of primary and third-party sources. At present, there is only one third-party reference.
 * If there is a list of characters, then the characters' names in the summaries should be linked to their entries on the list when first mentioned.
 * There is no list of characters. All the main characters are listed on the parent page. Extremepro (talk) 09:42, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yū Minamoto and Rion Kujo are red links. You almost never see red links in Featured Lists.
 * Removed the red links. Extremepro (talk) 09:42, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I won't tell you to revert this, but there is nothing wrong with red links, especially if the subject is notable. See WP:RED. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:32, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Many of the summaries are simply too long. Episode 7, "Sukumizu Shirosuku Sebareeto", comes in at 240 words and episode 10, "Hitō de Shitō!", at a whopping 284 words. This compared to episode 2, "Yōkoso Yokkō", which is a scant 113 words. Episode summaries should fall in between 100 to 200 words, with 150 being a good medium. But most importantly, they should be consistent in their length with few exceptions. (ex. recap episodes)
 * Reduced the episode summaries to around 180 words. Extremepro (talk) 10:21, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll leave the grammar checks to others since that is not my strong suit. —Farix (t &#124; c) 11:32, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Grammar checked/ Copyedited by User:Arsonal. Extremepro (talk) 09:32, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Reducing episode summary length will take a while. Extremepro (talk) 12:00, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments: The picture needs alt text . Kaguya-chan (talk) 19:36, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Added alt text for the picture. Extremepro (talk) 09:33, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Support as quality of episode summaries has improved. However, other reviewers may point out that the lead paragraphs stands at just over 1300 characters. I believe general guidelines state that list leads should be 1500 characters or more. This is used in promoting lists in DYK as well. Arsonal (talk) 18:23, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Expanded lead with directors and screenwriter info. Currently has over 1500 characters in the lead. Extremepro (talk) 09:36, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The lead does look a little better, but I have never heard of a character-count guideline for leads. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:50, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe it was my imagination… I'm pretty sure someone has mentioned it to me before during a nomination process, but I can't remember when or where. I can't even remember what kind of nomination it was. Arsonal (talk) 07:13, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Comment: I was to add User:Kaguya-chan as co-nominator because she has significantly edited and copy edited this article. Extremepro (talk) 11:48, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Support The lead looks good, and spot-checks of the episode summaries reveal no problems. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:56, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:56, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Support Meets criteria 2 through 6. (No comment on prose quality.) Sources look good and the FUR of the article's only image is adequate. Good raise  22:20, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
