Review section
[edit]I am nominating this featured article for review because...It is not comprehensive enough, and the prose doesn't read well, and it feels like it just lists everything. "Entertainment Weekly stated that Tritter annoyed House more than any other character, and Variety considered her a "worthy foe"." This is not reception at all, and why was he a "worthy foe"? "Staci Krause of IGN found the first few episodes of Season 3, in which House recovers from being shot, more interesting." This is not him but from the episode. "Tritter all the more scary."There is clear evidence that the article is not comprehensive and has prose issues. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 11:10, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- My general impression of this article, after a quick skim, is "shrug". I don't have any sourcing concerns. I am unsure what else can be added to the article, but I am not well-versed in pop-culture articles about fictional characters. The "Reception" section could use a refresh using the advice from WP:RECEPTION but it's not terrible. There have been no edits since it was posted to FAR as of this comment. I am going to defer to others who are topic-experts: I have no strong feelings, but barring additional concerns I'm OK if this was kept (although I would not suggest this go up to TFA).

- Perhaps @HTGS can respond here. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 11:59, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Move to FARC while my opinion on the quality of this article can be summarised by the word "meh", Boneless's concerns have not been addressed, which makes me think that no one is maintaining the quality of this article. I think FARC will be a good avenue to determine if this should be kept. Z1720 (talk) 12:49, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

[edit]- Issues raised in the review section include comprehensiveness and prose. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:07, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. On comprehensiveness, some additional references were suggested last year[1] but they contain nothing that's worth adding to the article. I see nothing egregious in the prose that I can point to and say 'that needs rewriting'. The article is what it is: a brief summary of a minor character in a once-popular TV show. It's not a great subject matter, but it seems to meet Wikipedia:Featured article criteria. DrKay (talk) 13:53, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- @HTGS can you respond? 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 16:03, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- Weak keep; there's nothing glaring here that stands out to me. Sure, it could possibly be polished up a bit with the reception, but I'm not seeing anything worth delisting over. It's honestly about the best that I would expect an article written about such a microscopic and ephemeral topic could be. Hog Farm Talk 21:10, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- Apologies, I don’t spend much time with featured article evaluation, but on prose I see no major errors, and the writing is fine, but not at the level I would personally consider worthy of feature. My interest in removing the article’s featured status is maybe more bureaucratic, as its status has been pointed to at deletion discussion before as a valid reason to keep. Personally, I just don’t think a character that relies on a collection of sources that are essentially 1) the episodes themselves, and 2) blogs and TV Guide–type rundowns, is worth keeping as an independent article. It has spun a tapestry out of straw; it makes a lot out of a subject that has been treated very thinly by independent sources. None of the sources discuss the subject with the depth or analysis that one would expect for an article of this length. I don’t honestly know whether this is good enough reason for an article to fail to be given featured status, but it feels like it should be. (I guess this is FAC #4? Again, I’m far from a regular here.) — HTGS (talk) 23:43, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
