The Office (U.S. season 8)

 * Nominator(s): Gen. Quon   (Talk)   20:33, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it meets all the requirements that have been laid out by Featured list criteria. The prose is of Good Article quality (which is passed last summer), it features alt text, images, pristine references, and MOS-complying tables. While any critiques would inevitably make this better, I feel it is ready for the next step. Gen. Quon  (Talk)   20:33, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose because I find this to be an article with a list attached to it, so I would suggest taking this to featured article status rather. TBrandley (what's up) 21:35, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Seasons 1 through 4 of the show have been promoted to featured list. Besides, there is already a precedent for other series' season pages at the main Featured List page.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   21:55, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree with TB in the sense of I personally feel it should be taken to FA rather than FL (it has quite a lot of prose), but however, there seems to be a precedent style for such types of articles. — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 22:36, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, normally I'd agree, but I don't want to go against the convention. And considering season 1-4 are FLs, I feel that it would be a tad odd to suddenly have a FA (if it passes, that is).-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   22:47, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Although this looks more like an article than a typical list article, I highly doubt that anybody at FAC would vote for a FA with such a large table. Nergaal (talk) 02:54, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's why I put it up for a vote here.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   17:54, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

 * "This is the first season without Steve Carell as Michael Scott in the lead role." → "This was the first season of the series without..."
 * The lead seems a bit repetitive to me. For example, "The eighth season of the American television comedy The Office...", "The Office is an American adaptation..."
 * I cut down on the "this season... this season..." and reduced the references to the show. I also fixed the tense issue.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   00:20, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
