Lost (season 5) is a fully referenced, high-quality article and is one of the best television lists I can find. It meets all criteria for featured lists and therefore deserves inclusion. Thank you for reading and deliberating. That Ole' Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 21:15, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - nom is not a significant editor of the article. Having said that, though, most of the significant editors seem to have retired..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:05, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, yes most editors have retired and while I am not a significant editor of the article, I am a frequent contributor to the Lost project. That Ole' Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 20:10, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: Hello, I am one of the semi-retired significant contributors mentioned above. The reception section needs work, as it misrepresents how many Emmys the season was nominated for, saying three instead of six. The section also needs to be edited for manual of style, as it mentions an episode title without quotation marks. The production section jumps between past and present tense, probably because the article has been inconsistently edited from when the season was airing versus after. The references are largely very well done, but there are a few inconsistencies and dead links. The cast section is especially outdated, as it uses media reports about whether certain cast members of prior seasons will be reprising their roles, containing sentences such as "Kristin Dos Santos of E! online has reported that Sterling Beaumon reprises his role of young Ben for four episodes in the second half of the season" and "Recurring guest stars Alan Dale and John Terry who play billionaire Charles Widmore and deceased Christian Shephard, respectively, may be promoted to the main cast for the sixth season, according to Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello." The section also gives undue weight to random casting tidbits that leaked prior to the season airing that have come to be insignificant in the long run. Sorry, but the article clearly has not been copyedited or even looked over that much by the nominator. Best, –thedemonhog talk • edits 18:41, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there, I'm the nominator, and I was wondering if there was any way I could bring this to a close, seeming as it seems unlikely for it to be featured and I have a secondary article that I'd like to be featured? That Ole' Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 16:14, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
