OlifanofmrTennant, thank you for working on this article and bringing it to GAN, but it doesn't look to be ready for nomination just yet. The article currently uses a WP:PROSELINE structure and seems more like a disjointed set of facts rather than an encyclopedic treatment. The career section needs some restructuring before it meets the "well-written" criterion; MOS:PARA is also relevant here. The personal life section might benefit from some tightening as well.
The article could also benefit from more content to meet the requirement of broad coverage: after reading the career section, I still don't know much beyond what roles he played and when. I suggest comparing the article's career section with the one at Matt Smith#Career. The latter still has some list-like descriptions, but it reads more smoothly and places the sequence of events in context. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
#Career
[edit]I started editing, and I'll continue tomorrow; I think the best way to remove the WP:Proseline, is using the already divided 5 sections as follows: -1991= movies, plays, TV guest appearences and TV films - 1992-2005=bigger TV roles, start as writer/director, radio plays - 2005-2012=Malcolm Tucker primarily- 2013-2017= The Doctor primarily- 2018-= general stuff. We can use the filmography articles for references, in addition to the ones already in the article, @OlifanofmrTennant DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 18:25, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- alright Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 02:08, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- @OlifanofmrTennant, I have done #1, 4 and 5 out of 5, and shortened the personal life section slightly; can you check what we should change to make these three more compatible with MOS:PARA and less WP:Proseline/ make them, and see if there are any other issues that we can/should fix before bringing it to GAN. I'll do the other two parts tomorrow DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 18:24, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
