I am nominating ~~two~~ one additional articles to Wikipedia:Featured topics/Seasons of Degrassi: The Next Generation, the ~~first is the~~ new and peer reviewed season page, Degrassi: The Next Generation (season 8)~~, the other is the only article about an episode of the series, Mother and Child Reunion (Degrassi: The Next Generation), which has recently been promoted to FA status~~.

With the nomination of the episode article, I also propose a rename from Degrassi: The Next Generation, Seasons of to Degrassi: The Next Generation, Episodes of. Thanks for your consideration. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 00:10, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Am striking out and withdrawing the episode article. Please only consider the addition of Degrassi: The Next Generation (season 8), and disregard the change of Topic title from "Seasons of..." to "Episodes of..." Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 19:08, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Season 8, but ~~Oppose~~ the episode and renaming. If you add the ep, you will need to have articles created for all of the episodes, and have them added. Maybe consider working on Season 1 articles, then promote Season 1 as a FT/GT. --Admrboltz (talk) 00:25, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks for commenting. With regard to your opposing of the episode, right now this is the only one that can stand alone as being notable enough for its own article, the others do not. May I point you to Smallville (season 1) Featured topic, which contains only two episode articles, and the discussion at FTC Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/Smallville (season 1).

The episode is only being added due to Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Seasons of Degrassi: The Next Generation#Possible additions. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 00:53, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak support of ep/rename of topic. --Admrboltz (talk) 01:30, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose adding the episode, but would support adding Season 8 and keeping it as a seasons topic.

I oppose the adding of the episode because I do not feel it would be comprehensive. I was quite active in the above mentioned Smallville topic debate but the big difference here is that the seasons are featured lists whereas Smallville (season 1) is a featured article. The difference is that the lists do not contain a lot of information the equivalent article does. For example there would be nothing to cover the production or writing side of the seasons, something that the Smallville season article had.

Oppose adding the episode. Support adding Season 8 and keeping it as a seasons topic. I wasn't crazy about the Smallville topic either, but at least you could make a plausable argument that the pilot and the season finale were the only 2 episodes notable enough for their own independent articles in season 1. Here, what you're saying is that only the pilot episode is notable enough for its own article in 7 seasons of shows. Not to mention the fact that the episode article sticks out like a sore thumb among the season lists, whereas the smallville topic is made up of 3 articles.

Comment OK, I see where you're all coming from. In that case do I need to withdraw this nomination, or can I just move it to Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/Seasons of Degrassi: The Next Generation/addition1 and remove the episode article from the nomination? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthewedwards (talk • contribs)
You can stick with the current nomination, just strike out the bits you're changing at the top and state what you've changed - rst20xx (talk) 17:41, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Season 8 is a necisary addition and it has been peer reviewed. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 04:23, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Matthew's splendid work. –thedemonhog talk • edits 22:50, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
