List of awards and nominations received by Gene Roddenberry

 * Nominator(s): Miyagawa (talk) 13:48, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm nominating another Gene Roddenberry article after the success of the filmography article. He has not received as many direct awards as others already at FL, but enough to warrant an article (especially due to the size of the main article itself. I based it on the IMDB list initially and went out with the objective to source all that were listed, although the "Executive Achievement" award from the Saturn Awards has been mentioned no-where else and so hasn't been included. I've also been through the official autobiography and two unofficial biographies in case there were anything further to add (there were). He claimed to have won a Nebula Award but aside from being recommended once for one, I can find no evidence that this is true.

I've formatted the list differently to those currently at FL, as I felt the formatting used in films worked better with one large table covering everything. In fact in Roddenberry's case, it really allows the read to track his awards through his career. Miyagawa (talk) 13:48, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Images need Alt text.--Godot13 (talk) 04:53, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Quite right, I'm not sure why I got out of the habit of doing that. Miyagawa (talk) 16:06, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Very well written and interesting. One additional question/comment - The writing remained credited to Ellison, not Roddenberry, who later claimed to have won a Nebula Award for the filmed version despite the Dramatic Presentation category not being created until 1974. - It’s a bit unclear who made the Nebula claim...-Godot13 (talk) 08:14, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I've switched that sentence and the preceding sentence around a little to make it clearer. Miyagawa (talk) 15:47, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Support — Nice work.--Godot13 (talk) 16:09, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delegates, take this thread into account if you end up making a decision on this FLC. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 19:16, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Hate to do this, but this nomination has been open for 2 months without much comment or support (TheFame08's support above does not count, unfortunately, as it is not attached to a review), so I'm going to have to go ahead and close this nomination as not passing. Feel free to renominate- the list looks pretty good from a brief glance- and remember that the best way to get people to look at your FLC is by reviewing other nominations, thus increasing the total pool of reviews. -- Pres N  17:27, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
