I am nominating this featured article for review because...The article doesn't meet the modern standard of FA right now. The article is missing a lot of content like its appeareances section for example. When you search for the character in the "news" section, a lot of content needs to be added, mostly for updating. It also used low-quality sources like Tor.com and IndieWire + the prose/writing at reception isn't FA quality. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 02:41, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. Not sure what the complaint is about Tor.com (it's fine, as far as I know, at least by pop media coverage standards? but not super-familiar), but even if we take a dim view and presume that it's on par with Forbes Contributor sections, WP:EXPERTSPS applies here. It's only cited once and it's citing Keith DeCandido, who is IMO a leading expert / commentator on Star Trek, and a published author. I've certainly cited DeCandido before elsewhere. (I agree the IndieWire listicle is weak, but it's just one sentence, so I think that can just be deleted.) SnowFire (talk) 12:59, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- Further comment: Interestingly, WP:FILMRS lists IndieWire as usable, and it's cited in over 500 different articles, so I'm not sure it's that bad... but I agree that source should go, not because it's IndieWire, but because the article sucks. Went and commented it out. Also added a recent-ish IGN source. For the "Appearances" section, it would probably be better to cite secondary sources than the episode directly, so that DUEWEIGHT can be applied for irrelevant cameos vs. major appearances... but... I suspect this will involve citing DeCandido even more, for the record (as a bit of FUTON bias, although I know there's various dead tree TNG guidebooks out there too.)
