Golden Globe Award for Best Director[edit]

Notified: Legionarius, WP PRIZE, WP FILMS.

Has many of the same problems as Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Drama:

  • Prose: Not enough to begin with, but what is there is surely not of a professional standard. "This page lists the winners and nominees for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, since its institution in 1943." We don't start lists like this anymore, and the comma is not necessary. "Elia Kazan is the biggest winner" What?
  • Lead: Needs expansion. There is not much background and more summary of the list is needed.
  • Sources: Cites IMBD, which is generally not considered a reliable source. Not much other diversity in sources.
  • MOS and structure Linked bold text, colors in table have not accompanying symbol (shouldn't use bold for this purpose). A key should be included (instead of being integrated into text). Dabomb87 (talk) 00:15, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This article is a Featured List. Featured lists are believed to be the best lists in Wikipedia. These lists are reviewed at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates for usefulness, completeness, accuracy, neutrality, style and prose according to featured list criteria. Since this met all the requirements, who are you to decide it should be removed? And if you're so sure it doesn't qualify, then why don't you edit it instead of just complaining about it? Why are there so many Wikipedia editors who do nothing but find fault with articles and never do any constructive writing to fix them? 67.79.157.50 (talk) 15:25, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This article was reviewed a long time ago. Standards have risen a lot since then. I gave examples of fixes needed. There is no obligation for reviwers/nominators to fix the article themselves. At the talk pages of the article and the FLC nominator, I left notices that asked if anyone would be interested in bringing the articles back to FL standards. When nobody replied after some days, I nominated the article to FLRC. I myself don't decide whether the article deserves to be removed from FL status, that is for the community and FLRC delegate to determine. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:35, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I also checked this list out in reviewing the Motion Picture - Drama list, and I concur with DB87. In addition, I find the comments made by 67.79.157.50 to be uncivil and request their retraction. The onus of improvement does not fall on the nominator and DB87 is undeserving of such vitriol. He is a strong contributor to the English Wikipedia and should not be slandered in such a way.

  • Delist. There is no way this would pass as a FL now. The names should be sortable by surname, and the titles without the articles. The lead fails to give me enough information, so that i had to go to the main article, and doesn't give any intresting information about list stats.Yobmod (talk) 17:44, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist No attempt has been made to resolve my concerns. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:40, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist, fails criteria, and no attempt to save has been made. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 15:44, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
