I am nominating this for featured list removal because I feel it does not meet the standards for featured list anymore. The airdates are sourced through Anime News Network encyclopedia, which is primarily user edited and is deemed unreliable. The official website sources are dead and the Waybackmachine was unable to retrieve them. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 05:12, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Did some minor work. The sourcing is the only real obstacle here. For the moment, I'll have to support delisting. Goodraise 05:46, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- When this became a featured list, wouldn't someone have checked the references back then? The fact that the Cartoon Network doesn't list the schedule any longer, since its been years since its aired on it, doesn't mean you should start doubting the article now. Google news archive search for "YuYu Hakusho" and "Cartoon Network" had some results, if anyone wants to bother wading through that, seeing if you can find mention of when the different seasons started. Anime News Network is a reliable source for their news section. In the article already I see links to where it announces the start of the season. [2] You can find confirmation of when it started, and then the episodes all came on exactly 7 days apart until the season ended. Is there any reasonable doubt that the information in the article is valid? Dream Focus 06:17, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- What still remains the fact is that the sourcing is obsolete and for that reason, does not meet the standard of featured lists. You can be bold and fix the article to try and make the general consensus keep. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 06:42, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Response to Dream Focus: We can't be certain that reviewers back than were that thorough. Even if we could, it wouldn't change anything. You're right, though. We should always doubt everything. Waiting until sources die isn't necessary. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit and is therefore inherently suspect. It is not without good reason that Wikipedia:Verifiability is a policy, while Wikipedia:Trustability is not. Goodraise 09:19, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The ANN encyclopedia slipped through as a source for a while, I believe, because I remeber reviewing the source and kicking up a fuss in January 2009. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 15:50, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delist
- Lead intro style needs updated (i.e. we don't start with "This is a list of..")
- Caption of lead image shouldn't have a period.
- Too many [citation needed] tags.
- Ref 4 is badly formatted and appears to be IMDB which usually is considered to fail WP:RS.
- Refs need to meet WP:DASH.
- General refs are dead.
