Walt Disney holds the record for most Academy Award wins and nominations. Over the past two days I have done intense editing on the list. I believe this list now meets all six featured list criteria. I have used Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as the primary source for all the awards. I have added a few more reliable sources for some of the awards.

'Comments
  • 'Academy-Awarded' is not a word.
  • Include the hypen in 'twenty-six'.
  • The first paragraph says "individual in history" three times. Please find some way to combine these sentences.
  • Commas are unnecessary in the first and second sentences of the second paragraph.
  • The final sentence in the second paragraph should be shortened to say he consecutively earned nominations and won.
  • The comma after 1939 in the third paragraph is unnecessary.

;Comments:
  • won in the same category (Best Short Subject (Cartoon)) - This is an awkward construction. Any way to rephrase?
  • One minor change: "consecutively earned, and won, nominations" to "consecutively earned nominations and won". Nice reconstruction of the paragraph, I really liked it. Thank you. Surge_Elec (talk) 08:42, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Posthumously - Without a year of death we don't get the full implications of the word (I'd suggest having Disney's YOB and YOD in parentheses after his full name above: Walt Disney (1901–66).
  • "significant screen innovation which has charmed millions and pioneered a great new entertainment field for the motion picture cartoon." - This is not NPOV unless it is a direct quote
  • To Walt Disney, William Garity, John N. A. Hawkins - what's with the line break? Also, link names other than Disney
  • Image issue: File:Walt disney portrait.jpg was flipped, so this is not an accurate representation of Disney. Any other pictures we can use? This would be nice if you can confirm there was no copyright symbol on the trailer. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:54, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • You should see if a copy of the trailer is on the internet (if it's really PD usually the internet archive will have it), then watch it and see if the (C) symbol is anywhere.08:16, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Here is a copy of the trailer. I did not see the (C) symbol anywhere.[2] Surge_Elec (talk) 08:56, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support on prose and images. Looks good to me! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:31, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]


  • Support on the nomination. I believe it should be a featured list because Walt Disney needs to be recognized for his achievement, and everybody else should see it too of his proud work. Mickey798 (talk) 15:44, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - articles gain FL status based solely on the quality of the article. The perceived "importance" of the subject is not relevant -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:44, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Quick comments –

  • Both images could use alt text.
    • They now have alt text, but for the second photo's text I'd recommend adding "a" before "few certificates" for grammar purposes. Giants2008 (Talk) 20:35, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reference 1 needs an en dash to replace the hyphen in the title per the MoS. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:35, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
