This article meets every one of the Featured List criteria. The article is thoroughly sourced, and well written. Issues and problems have been addressed according to the FL criteria, this is why we feel this article more than qualifies for Featured List status. We believe this list is worthy, considering we worked on it with the Featured lists, Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series, Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series, Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series and Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in mind. If you oppose, please address your issues here so they can be resolved.  — SoapFan12 Talk smile 20:00, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments:
  • The table in "Multiple Wins" needs to be closed
  • Ref 2: June 8, 1985 → June 9, 1985
  • Ref 14: date May 20, 1981 → May 22, 1981
  • Many of the works and/or publishers are over wikilinked (see WP:OVERLINK)
  • Please be more precise on which ones (which ref) that needs to be fix. I would really appreciate it! :)  — SoapFan12 Talk smile 18:46, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Soap Opera Digest. New York City: American Media, Inc. → It is wikilinked a lot in the refs. Same with New York: emmyonline.org and National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. – Underneath-it-All (talk) 19:52, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The only comment I have is I don't think it is necessary to have the Michael Muhney image caption say "After 4 years on the series". I don't think it needs to say that. Otherwise it looks good. Support. Creativity97 00:01, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from Tbhotch
*"The award is presented in honor of an actor ... the daytime drama industry." is unsourced
  • "Doug Davidson is the 2013 recipient of this award, for his portrayal of Paul Williams on The Young and the Restless" - why not something like "The last recipient of this award is Doug Davidson, for his portrayal of..."
  • "Multiple Nominations" -> "Multiple nominations"
  • In my view, "Series with most awards" should be the last section, as the article is for the Lead actor category. Also, if possible, merge the most wins/nominations in the same section but divided in with a column
Ref 62, does not have National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, in it. I think you meant Ref 61, in that case I fixed it.  — SoapFan12 Talk smile 04:12, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • In Ref 69 the NATAS does not go in italic text.

These are some issues I found. References not checked. Tbhotch.™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 03:19, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you so much! I am very grateful!  — SoapFan12 Talk smile 19:33, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "Outstanding Performance by a Lead Actor in a Drama Series" normally this is written as regular prose in the info box without all the caps.
  • "Daytime Emmy Award" avoid bold links.
  • " having been criticized for voting integrity" presumably lack of integrity?
  • "the criteria for this category was altered" criteria were altered.
  • "The last recipient of this award..." -> The most recent recipient of the award ....
  • Link soap opera.
  • "he won a sixth " -> "he won for a sixth "
  • "Indicates the winning actor." no need for the full stop.
  • "Macdonald Carey " has no capital D.
  • Image captions which are complete sentences do need a full stop.
  • "on General Hospital.." one too many.
  • I do not see the issue. Please specify. Thanks  — SoapFan12 Talk smile 16:28, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Douglass Watson has received two consecutive ..." just "received", not "has received".
  • Avoid the use of the hash to represent "Number".
  • Where is "May 21" in the infobox referenced?
  • I remove it since I have no reference to proove it.  — SoapFan12 Talk smile 16:28, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • "delivered an outstanding performance" is this a quote from the organizers? If so, quote it and attribute it, if not it's a little promotional sounding.
  • This is not a quote from the organizers and IMO it sound proffesional plus there is lots of FLs using a kind of sentence like this.
  • Maybe so, and they should be checked. So where do you get "delivered an outstanding performance" from? The Rambling Man (talk) 16:36, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • You know what, if you do not like how it is worded, please tell me another sentence to replace it. Thanks.  — SoapFan12 Talk smile 16:42, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • It just sounds promotional to me. I'll leave it to you and other reviewers to decide. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:08, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, if I change ″who has delivered an outstanding performance″ --> ″who has brought an outstanding performance″ will that be fine? Furthermore, on the website of the daytime emmys, it says that ″The Daytime Emmy Award are honoring excellence in all fields of daytime″ but it says nothing about the description of a specific award (Lead Actor), what should I do?  — SoapFan12 Talk smile 18:42, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Never mind, I have put it in quotes and add a source, therefore  Done.  — SoapFan12 Talk smile 19:34, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Any reason why Benedict is the only nominee not linked? Is he truly non-notable?
  • Yes he is truly non-notable. He had no special record and was only nominated once.  — SoapFan12 (talk, contribs) 15:24, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The table isn't sortable, I'm wondering why we link every linkable item every time.
  • In my previous FLC, this issue was brought up and I made it sortable however, it created more problems. Therefore, it was decided to resolve. Furthermore, there is tones of FLs that every linkable item every time. Also, I'd like to add that it would make the visual look of the table appear inconsistent and potentially confusing to readers. A reader looking for just this year's nominees would wonder why some names were linked and others weren't. Also, I was wondering, why now? I have 4 featured lists that are Daytime Emmys Awards ctaegories and you have given comments in each and one of them and you bring this up now. Just curious...  — SoapFan12 (talk, contribs) 15:24, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "MacDonald Carey won" -> "Macdonald Carey won"
  • " to it's current title" its.
  • " one criterion for this category were altered" _was_ altered.
  • "The 2013 recipient of this award" -> the award.
  • "with a total of eight wins" you mean "with eight wins each" I assume?
  • "in the category when he won for a sixth time, surpassing David Canary's previous record of five." I don't think you need "of five", it's pretty obvious.
  • "ultimately receiving seven wins" -> "thus far winning on seven occasions."
  • "was nominated eight times and won 1998" confusing, do you mean "was nominated eight times, winning once in 1998"?

Comments –

  • "surpassing David Canary previous record of five." The name should be plural.
  •  Done.
  • Typo in the first photo's alt text: "suite" instead of "suit".
  •  Done.
  • Same in the third and fourth photos' alt text.
  •  Done.

*The recipient of the most awards is Doug Davidson, for his portrayal of Paul Williams on The Young and the Restless. ... In 2008, Anthony Geary became the actor with the most wins in the category when he won for a sixth time, surpassing David Canary's previous record of five. - When did Davidson surpass Geary? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:26, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • That would mean "The recipient of the most recent award is...", not most awards. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:26, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, IMO it would mean ″The 2013 recipient of this award is....″. Also last I did that another reviewer said to change into The 2013 reciepient... because it clears up any confusion and I happen to agree with that user.  — SoapFan12 (talk, contribs) 11:29, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – I think it looks well written just like all the other lists.
