List of Big Brother (American TV series) episodes (2010–present)

 * Nominator(s): The Doctor Who  (talk) 19:06, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe that it is a great list comprehensively covers the topic and would make a good addition to featured lists.. The Doctor Who (talk) 19:06, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Oppose Clearly a lot of work has gone into this article, but I'm afraid that I don't think it's at FL level just yet. I think this list still has some way to go before it's at FL level, and I wish all the participating editors the best of luck in improving it.

 * My biggest problem is the lead. It's quite short for a featured list, and lacks a lot of focus – less than a quarter of the text is about Big Brother during the 2010s (the final four sentences of the lead), even though that's the entire subject of the article. The rest is either about Big Brother in general, or about episodes during the 2000s. It's telling that the lead for this list is identical to the one at List of Big Brother (American TV series) episodes (2000–2009).
 * There's a lot of information missing from the lead. For example, there's nothing about Over the Top. What was it? How was it different to the regular BB series? Why was it introduced? Why did it only run for a single series? Similarly, it looks as if the format of the episodes changed between seasons 16 and 17 – how did they change, and why?
 * I think that, even with a more comprehensive lead, this might be a difficult article to get to FL standard. The "No. in season" columns in the tables are entirely redundant given the "Title" columns, and could definitely be removed without any loss of information to our readers. However, if you do that, what's left? Is there anything further that you could include in the earlier tables, such as viewing figures or ratings share?
 * "Big Brother" in the article title needs to be in italics. I can talk you through how to do this, if you'd like.
 * The lead image needs alt text.
 * "Series Overview" -> "Series overview"
 * It seems to me that you could get rid of the first 11 rows in the Series overview section, since they're outside the scope of this list.
 * Per MOS:NUMRANGE, use en dashes ( – ) in the Day(s) columns, rather than hyphens ( - ), i.e. "Days 1-8" -> "Days 1–8". Similarly, "18-49" -> "18–49".
 * "Marsh, Calumdate=June 27, 2018" -> "Marsh, Calum. June 27, 2018"
 * Spaced hyphens need to be spaced en dashes.
 * Avoiding shouting in reference titles (i.e. citations 12 and 14).
 * The publisher of the viewing figures jumps between "TV by the Numbers", "TV By The Numbers", "TV By the Numbers" and "TV by the Numbers.com". It should be the first one throughout.
 * Similarly, dates flit between "January 1, 2000" format and "2000-01-01" format.
 * Citation 97 contains an error.


 * comments have been here now for a month, are you intending to address them or would you prefer the nomination to be archived? The Rambling Man (REJOICE!) 11:38, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
 * My apologies, I've fixed about half the issues but aren't sure I'll be able to get to the rest. It can be archived and when or if I ever get to the other half I'll renominate. Thanks! The Doctor Who  (talk) 20:33, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
