List of awards and nominations received by Game of Thrones

 * Nominator(s): Kingstoken

I am nominating this for featured list because it meets all the requirements, but also can be held as an example of how to format and organize any similar lists. Also, because of the diversity and number of award nominations received by Game of Thrones is not repeated with many other television programs. Kingstoken (talk) 11:55, 07 July 2017.

Not sure if the article is not ready for FLC. Some observations:
 * Comments by Mymis
 * Most of the article is simply unsourced. For instance, the entire first paragraph of the introduction, or any sentence that describes the meaning of a specific award.
 * None of the awards(won or nom) are unsourced, But I will try to find sources for the introduction for specific award shows. - AffeL (talk) 22:11, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 * That is not what I said. First paragraph in the lead is completely unsourced. Most of the sentences that introduce each awards are also unsourced, for instance, "The American Cinema Editors presents annual awards for outstanding achievements in film editing" would need to have a reference. Mymis (talk) 01:15, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Issue addressed, introductory paragraph now contains sources as do sentences describing each individual award Kingstoken (talk) 15:38, 09 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The intro still largely unsourced, including the first paragraph. And the source you added does not talk about David Benioff. Mymis (talk) 13:52, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I added more soures to the first paragraph, also plot/story does not need to be sourced anyway. Other stuff in the lead are already sourced in the body of the article. - AffeL (talk) 20:03, 10 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Many and many inconsistencies. The names of the episodes should not be in italics. All episodes have separate articles, so all should be linked.
 * Will do, but shouldn't an article be just linked once? - AffeL (talk) 22:11, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Very few episodes are mentioned more than once though. They definitely must be linked in each table of each award. Mymis (talk) 01:15, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Issue has been addressed and corrections made Kingstoken (talk) 14:30, 8 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Why there is so much attention given for Emmy awards? Why are they considered superior to any other award?? Almost the entire lead is about the Emmys. Fails MOS:LEAD.
 * The Emmys are considered as the Academy Awards/Oscars for Television. I would say close to 30 of lead is about the Emmys. - AffeL (talk) 22:11, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 * According to who? Why are the Emmys listed first in the article? And not Golden Globes or SAG awards, for instance? They are very respectable awards too. And a third of article is not about the Emmys, so why should the lead be? The lead currently very poorly summarizes the article. Why only actors/acting categories are mentioned? Most of the awards the show received are not for acting. Mymis (talk) 01:15, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I moved the Emmy Awards down so that it's in alphabetical order like the rest. Will try to improve the lead so that it summarizes more than just acting. - AffeL (talk) 18:03, 9 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Way too much information in the Emmy Awards section. Two thirds of it are shown in the table already, so most of the prose is very repetitive and redundant.
 * Do you want us to remove the repetitive stuff in the Emmy section or just trim it down? - AffeL (talk) 22:11, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes. Most of it is in the table already. Could maybe leave some sentences about records that show set in specific years, as it is not shown in the table. Mymis (talk) 01:15, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Done. - AffeL (talk) 18:03, 9 July 2017 (UTC)


 * A lot of the awards are over-sourced? Why do we need three sources for one Emmy ceremony?
 * One source is for wins and one for the nominations. - AffeL (talk) 22:11, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 * In many cases it's three tho. Some awards shows websites show both winners and nominations. In such way the number of refs could be reduced as there are loads already. It is not a necessity tho. Mymis (talk) 01:15, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Fixed the over-sourced awards, some of the awards still have two or three sources, but that is only because it is necessary. - AffeL (talk) 17:36, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
