Peter Sellers on stage, radio, screen and record

 * Nominator(s): SchroCat ( ^  •  @ ) 17:41, 20 August 2012 (UTC) and   Cassianto Talk   19:40, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Known for his clumsy character Inspector Clouseau and his many comic roles on radio, Peter Sellers was one of the best known comedians of his generation. This record of his professional work has recently been split away from the main Sellers page as it was out of place there and not a full reflection of his work. A number of very good people have assisted in specific areas, including, who re-worked the lead, , who advised on the table format, , who cleaned up the citations and who looked at the images. We are now nominating this for featured list status because we believe that it now satisfies the criteria. Cheers - SchroCat ( ^  •  @ ) 17:41, 20 August 2012 (UTC)


 * The biggest sticking point for me is the lead – it's incredibly brief. By my count it's about 860 characters long, which wouldn't qualify it for DYK, let alone FL. Obviously it needs to cover the major aspects of the rest of the list, but it doesn't mention Sellers's career on either stage or record at all. I see that on the talk page it was decided that there wasn't much of a need to discuss Sellers himself, but personally I'd disagree with that – per WP:Summary style, I would expect the lead of this article to give more background on who Peter Sellers was.
 * Now extended. We feel this word count now mirrors others at FL in terms of quantity. --  Cassianto Talk   12:25, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * That's certainly a significant improvement, but I do still feel that the lead needs to at least mention Sellers's careers on stage and record, since obviously that comprises part of the scope of the list. Just a short sentence on each would probably suffice for me personally. A Thousand Doors (talk &#124; contribs) 22:11, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks ATD: it's now been tweaked to include that missing information. Cheers - SchroCat ( ^  •  @ ) 22:51, 27 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Support. Wow; pretty solid. TBrandley 21:36, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks Tate, I'm looking forward to your next FAC so I can return this favour. --  Cassianto Talk   23:53, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Your in luck, "Nightswimming" will be at FAC soon. Also, some FLCs also very soon. Cheers, TBrandley 05:46, 22 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose - from a quick glance at Amazon, the list is incomplete: hhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0002CH8TW and http://www.amazon.co.uk/Million-Sellers-Peter/dp/B002EGLFP2. Who knows what else is missing. Matthewedwards (talk · contribs) 01:07, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * These are not original releases by Sellers, but re-hashed excerpts put out by third parties, the contents of which are covered in Sellers's original recordings. As such they really shouldn't be on the list at all. - SchroCat ( ^  •  @ ) 06:04, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, no problem. Oppose is stricken Matthewedwards (talk · contribs) 16:50, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
