I am nominating this for featured article because it is a well written and neutral article that is completely neutral. It was been worked on my many people and incorporates all aspects of the show. 07bargem (talk) 19:09, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment—Have you asked the primary contributors to the article, such as Bob Castle (talk · contribs), before nominating the article, as required by FAC instructions? Ucucha 19:20, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose- Hi, um, thanks for nominating this. Unfortunately, I don't really think it's even good enough to be a GA article at the moment, mainly due to a lack of references and prose problems. Therefore, although it has the potential to be an FA, due to the number of books and third party sources about the series, it does need quite a considerable amount of work to bring it up to that standard, or even back to GA. Yes Minister is the quality that it would need to be. Thanks for the nom anyway. Bob talk 21:04, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as per Bob's reasoning. This article was delisted from GA in February 2008, and checking its history I don't think much has been done since. Parrot of Doom 22:24, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
