Seinfeld (season 1)
Self-nomination. Looked at Lost (season 1) and copied the format from there. The only image has a fair use rationale.  Gman 124 talk 15:48, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Support - I believe that this article is of a high enough standard, though I have corrected a minor grammar error. ISD (talk) 16:15, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose This is not a list. This is an article with a list. If you want, take it to GAN or FAC. But not here. Noble Story (talk) 03:27, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Its in the exact same format as Lost (season 1) and The Office (U.S. TV series) season 1, which are featured list. -- Coasttocoast (talk) 03:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok fine, if this doesn't pass or if editors feel this shouldn't be a list i'll take it to GAN or FAC.  Gman 124 talk 04:37, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think it should be an article, it should stay a list, now.  Gman 124 talk 20:10, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Current consensus is that season pages are designated as lists. Therefore, this is in the correct place.  I should be able to review the article this evening, also.  Mastrchf (t/c) 15:00, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Not all season pages are lists, see Smallville (season 1) for an example of a featured article. In this page, I see that the prose part is longer than the table(list), so it can be argued whether this is an article/a list.--Crzycheetah 21:00, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm still going with having this an article, not a list, so I'll oppose (but not just for that reason). Noble Story (talk) 14:13, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose The plot summaries should be 3-4 times bigger than they are right now. See the Simpsons' list, where the entire episode is described. indopug (talk) 14:47, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ fixed summaries  Gman 124 talk 15:24, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll list the rest tomorrow, now I sleep. But "Season one of Seinfeld, an American television series created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David." is not a sentence. indopug (talk) 20:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- Gman 124 talk 13:44, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Still oppose until Tony's prose concerns are addressed. Also, please use "season #" instead of "#" (if that is indeed what it's supposed to be) and "series #" instead of "overall total". Why is ref 15 for production code on a new line? Matthewedwards (talk· contribs· count· email) 07:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC) Oppose until fixed—Cr 1: needs copy-editing throughout. I don't get this comment. -- Gman 124 talk 19:42, 19 May 2008 (UTC) ** so you want the DVD release info in a paragraph or something? -- Gman 124 talk 19:53, 19 May 2008 (UTC) Yeah remove that table. This article is about the first season, not a detailed showcase of the DVD's features. The special features gives a feeling of advertising. (It has these features, go BUY the disc!) indopug (talk) 17:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * fixed the table, and I rewrote some of the stuff. -- Gman 124 talk 17:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Can we expunge almost all instances of " in order to"? Especially, here with another occurrence of "order" soon after.✅
 * More on repetition: "season" times three; "one" then "2".
 * ✅ removed the repetition of season -- Gman 124 talk 19:42, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Errant comma or two. Noun plus -ing is clumsy.✅
 * MOS breaches of several types. Cr 5✅
 * Not impressed with the utility of the lower table. Why a table? TONY   (talk)  16:50, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅removed the table. -- Gman 124 talk 19:45, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Redundant words ("made" is just one example).✅


 * Very busy at moment; MOS—I see a dot after a caption that is not a real sentence; I see title case used in a title.✅
 * I see prose that needs copy-editing in the grey areas, such as " Jerry does not like Joel that much" (rather informal). And much more.✅ TONY   (talk)  09:35, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * " "The Robbery" was the only episode not written by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, it was written by Matt Goldman.[11] The pilot was directed by Art Wolff, the rest of the episodes was directed by Tom Cherones."—These are not grammatical sentences. "worries" should be the less informal "concerns". Plus lots more. Needs fresh input. TONY   (talk)  16:46, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ rewrote the lines, and summary.  Gman 124 talk 17:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
