Planet of Giants

Nominator(s): Lbal (talk) 20:51, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Planet of Giants is a 1964 Doctor Who serial. It is one of the few three-part serials of the First Doctor's era, and one of the few to be set on present-day Earth without any extraterrestrial or non-human involvement besides the Doctor and his granddaughter. I believe it should be featured as a prime example of mid-sixties science fiction television, especially as a little-known serial of a well-known show.

@Lbal: - The instructions at the top to the WP:FAC page state Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article before nominating it, and I am not seeing anything that suggests this has been done. This appears to be an out-of-process nomination. The primary author is Rhain, do they have any thoughts about this? Hog Farm _Talk 21:05, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I personally hadn't planned to start an FAC anytime soon—and if I was going to nominate any serial, it almost certainly wouldn't have been this one. – Rhain ☔ 22:35, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhain: - Do you think it's ready for a FAC? If not, this can probably be closed as out of process. Hog Farm _Talk 22:53, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I don't think so. I think it's fine for GA, but the prose probably needs some significant work for FA, and I'd want to dig deeper for additional sources to use—and I'm not really willing to do either at present. – Rhain ☔ 23:05, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
