{{Neutral}} Maybe we should wait until the end of season 3 before we get this one as an FA, since I think it will change for the better with Baltar's trial coming up. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 20:04, 19 February 2007 (CST)
 
{{Neutral}} Agrre with Joe, I think the rest of the series is going to be very important --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 04:13, 20 February 2007 (CST)<br />

{{Oppose}} My very first article, so I would be flattered, but I think it's a little dull content-wise.

{{Oppose}} It's alright, but just a list --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 15:13, 19 February 2007 (CST)<br/>
{{Oppose}} Really just a list, not a meaty article. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 20:33, 19 February 2007 (CST)
 
{{Oppose}} Good as a list, but not especially FA-worthy --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 22:27, 19 February 2007 (CST)
 
{{Oppose}} Its a good list, but a list none the less and thus not FA worthy. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 04:14, 20 February 2007 (CST)

{{Oppose}}. Silly pages should not be eligable for Featured Article status. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 15:02, 19 February 2007 (CST)<br/>
{{Oppose}}. Silly pages should not be eligable for Featured Article status.
{{Oppose}} For the above reason --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 15:13, 19 February 2007 (CST)<br/>
:{{Comment}} Care to supply some reasoning? Also, there has been debate on this topic. See the talk page of [[BW:FA]] for more. --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 17:13, 19 February 2007 (CST)
{{Oppose}} While I consider myself a defender of the awesome silly pages, these silly articles aren't fully representative of the Wiki, and comprise less than 1% of it (as <s>Spencerian</s> Steelviper noted on the FA talk page). Looking from an outsider's perspective, which is better to show as an example: a "drinking game" article (which every show has a variant of anyway) or an article on a pivotal character, event, or episode? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 20:30, 19 February 2007 (CST)
:{{Comment}} Thank you, Joe, for supplying a better reason than "Silly pages should not be eligable for Featured Article status." --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 22:26, 19 February 2007 (CST)

:::No biggie. It's not as if I don't make the same error myself often reading the RC. It's one of those things where your brain sees S(something)n/r and the "autocomplete" happens to be wrong. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 15:19, 20 February 2007 (CST)
{{Neutral}} --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 22:26, 19 February 2007 (CST)<br />
{{Neutral}}, but I would Support. It's a pretty well-fleshed article that serves multiple purposes besides just humor. (It's also a list of overused cliches, stock footage, etc.) That being said, I definitely support Joe's reasoning for opposition. I suppose I'm indifferent; a good article is a good article, silly or not. [[User:JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw]] 09:17, 20 February 2007 (CST)

{{Support}} Too overloaded with cites for my taste, but if one considers that to be important, this one is very good. Also tons of content otherwise --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 15:13, 19 February 2007 (CST)
:{{Comment}} Overloaded with cites? Blasphemy! --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 15:37, 19 February 2007 (CST)
::{{Comment}} Never get the Concision Fairy angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:07, 20 February 2007 (CST)
{{Support}} Even with the cite-overload, I personally hold it as a very fine example of what a cast/crew biographical article should look like. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 20:32, 19 February 2007 (CST)<br />
{{Support}} I dont see why lots of citations is a bad thing. Supp --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 04:15, 20 February 2007 (CST)<br />
{{Support}} This is a very worthy article and as perfectly cited as the Landers sisters were perfectly curved. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 07:39, 20 February 2007 (CST)
{{Neutral}} --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 07:45, 20 February 2007 (CST)
