List of Dexter episodes

 * Notified: User talk:Nergaal, WT:DEXTER

I am nominating this for featured list removal because... there is a list of issues on the talk page that have gone ignored for 14 days by the regular editors of the article. I attempted to update the Overview table to conform with WP:DTT. It was originally like this, which I updated to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Dexter_episodes&oldid=494854907. Fifteen minutes later I was reverted and told "Dunno what you were trying to do, but it didn't work". If the editors are not open to modifications (that worked perfectly fine) to a single table and are unwilling to address any of the other issues, I'm not going to start warring with them about it. Clearly a lone ranger isn't going to have any impact on the improvement of the page, so it needs doing through this forum. Matthewedwards (talk · contribs) 18:44, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Delist - sadly the TV project et al have no time to deal with these issues, despite having plenty of notice. Amongst the issues are: The Rambling Man (talk) 17:51, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * A number of dead or dubious links.
 * A number of raw URLs in the references.
 * Why is there the odd bit of bold text in the ref titles?
 * Don't use mixed date formats for  etc.
 * I do find it odd not having the lead image as a thumbnail, the text that wraps directly below it looks oddly like a weird caption.
 * Please ensure the overview table complies with MOS:DTT for accessibility for screen readers.
 * Referencing issues in the overview table.
 * Each table has different column size from section to section despite having identical content. Why is this?


 * I'm not a normal contributor to the page but I did cleanup the formatting (dates, bolding) in the URLs and removed the obvious logo caption. As for the dead links, most are for the Awards the show has won and the award sites no longer have the years listed. As for the different column sizes, I think it adjusts to the info in the columns. Everything else, I leave to the regulars. — WylieCoyote (talk) 18:10, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Can someone clarify which issues have yet to be resolved? Dabomb87 (talk) 15:30, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Still plenty of deadlinks, format issues, maintenance tag etc at a very quick glance.  Remove.  The Rambling Man (talk) 16:27, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I've fixed the deadlinks and switched the formatting according to a recent episodes FL. Nergaal (talk) 02:06, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Added laking refs and filled in empty citations. Nergaal (talk) 03:21, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi. I'm going to leave some comments here in a minute. Cheers, TBrandley 04:39, 23 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep at FL status. Appears good now. TBrandley 23:49, 26 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: What's the status of this FLRC? This looks pretty in-active to me. Regards. TBrandley 00:45, 31 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep I'm satisfied that my major concerns have been addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:17, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment A number of refs have hyphens that should be en dashes instead. Mist are from ref 29 onwards. NapHit (talk) 15:23, 9 September 2012 (UTC) There also appears to be an issue with ref 51 and 73, the url comes up with the title and then afterwards unformatted. Needs addressing before this can be closed. NapHit (talk) 23:02, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. Nergaal (talk) 00:39, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
