List of awards and nominations received by Mad Men

 * Nominator(s): RunningTiger123 (talk) 03:54, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

In Mad Men's pilot, Don Draper notes that "advertising is based on one thing — happiness." Unfortunately, I can't come up with such a concise and elegant quip to explain the show to others, but what I can do – and what I've done – is bring this list up to FL standard to properly list its accolades so that others can better understand its achievements. The work I did was modeled on my West Wing FL nomination, taking this from an average page to what I believe is my best FL nominee to date. As always, any and all comments are appreciated.

 * Comment - literally the only thing I could pick up on was.....if the awards are in alphabetical order, shouldn't the Primetime Creative Arts Emmys come before the Primetime Emmys.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:55, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I wanted the Creative Arts Emmys to be separate since they're awarded at a separate ceremony, but I also thought the major Emmy awards should be listed first (kind of like the awards for Game of Thrones, though that one is admittedly different given its length and that the Emmys are in a separate table). In other words, if I had combined the major and Creative Arts Emmys, I would have still put the series, acting, writing, and directing awards first, and I wanted to keep that order after splitting the two. If you think it would be better to swap them, I'd be happy to do it. RunningTiger123 (talk) 16:20, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No, that makes sense, happy to support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:20, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Support Found nothing. ~ HAL  333  21:39, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Table accessibility review (MOS:DTAB): The table is missing a caption.
 * Please add `|+ table caption` to the top of the table, or if it would duplicate a nearby section header you can visually hide the caption as `|+ `

 * Should be done – let me know if it needs to be changed, I'm not an expert with this. RunningTiger123 (talk) 16:43, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Comments from Dank
 * Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
 * The table caption is fine (though some would remove the words from the title of this list).
 * FLC criteria:
 * 1. The prose is fine. I checked sorting on several columns in the table and sampled the redirects in the table; everything looks fine.
 * 2. The lead meets WP:LEAD and defines the inclusion criteria.
 * 3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations.
 * 3b. The article is well-sourced to reliable sources, and the UPSD tool isn't indicating any problems (but this isn't a source review). All relevant retrieval dates are present.
 * 3c. The list meets requirements as a stand-alone list, it isn't a content fork, it doesn't largely duplicate another article (that I can find), and it wouldn't fit easily inside another article.
 * 4. It is navigable.
 * 5. It meets style requirements. The one image isn't a copyright problem, per the "originality" criterion.
 * 6. It is stable.
 * Support. Well done. (I hope you'll drop by my plant list noms every now and then, but if not, not a problem. They tend to be long.) - Dank (push to talk) 22:28, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Source review passed, promoting. -- Pres N  21:55, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
