List of Breaking Bad episodes

I am nominating this for featured list because... I feel like it's a well detailed and very important list. Let Me Eat Cake (talk) 17:14, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comment, you should check out the discussion going on at List of Friends episodes FLC with regard to the use of {{Episode list}}, MOS:BOLD and MOS:DTT compliance and, in general, a reliance on transcluding season articles which inherently undermine the stability of the list (i.e. the season articles get edited but those watching just the list have no idea that's happened).

Comments okay, so the Friends list failed because we have an insistence from various places to mandate the use of transclusion from season pages. I'll review this with that in mind.

The lead is, well, dry. The first para in particular is entirely dull. I would tell readers what the series was about before telling them when each and every series started and ended.
The floating logo with no description is odd too. Would thumbnail it and place a caption there, like "The Breaking Bad logo".
Could name the fictional family members.
Don't use № or # per MOS:HASH.
Explain what those mean, i.e. No. in series and No. in season.
Most of these lists have production codes.
It would be desirable to have the lists sortable since you have viewing figures. That way I could find out which the most/least popular episode was, who wrote the most episodes etc. (see WP:WIAFL 4)
Also disappointing to see that each table has different column widths for the same information from section to section, very unappealing aesthetically (see WP:WIAFL 5a).
My God, "minisode" is really a word? Really?
Please ensure that titles of references comply with WP:MOS, in particular WP:DASH.
Foreign language sources should be tagged using a language template.
Some blogs used, are they reliable?

Overall there's enough for me right now to oppose this nomination. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:14, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
