I am nominating this series of articles for GT; the co-creators of the animated series Phineas and Ferb are Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, who met while working on The Simpsons and conceived Phineas while acting as writing partners on Rocko's Modern Life. All articles are good articles, including the lead article. I'm using the series itself as the lead article as there would be and is nothing else but it to serve as the lead. The image is, obviously, just them at Comic-Con. Thanks, The Flash {talk} 18:04, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Lean oppose/comment - I think this topic is overly narrow in focus, and one covering a broader range of articles would be preferable. This is reflected in the inappropriateness of the chosen lead article. A topic on all crew members of Phineas and Ferb (that are notable enough to have WP articles!) would be better - how many individuals would this involve? Others I can find are Bobby Gaylor, Martin Olson, Sherm Cohen and Zac Moncrief. Alternatively a topic on the show as a whole could be done, which, in addition to the three articles given above, would involve List of Phineas and Ferb episodes, List of characters in Phineas and Ferb, Phineas and Ferb (video game), Phineas and Ferb (soundtrack) and (if it is notable enough) List of Phineas and Ferb songs. The last two could well be merged into a Music of Phineas and Ferb article - rst20xx (talk) 19:54, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I can create a "List of Phineas and Ferb producers" and use that; that would include Povenmire, Marsh, Zac Moncrief, and Danny Jacobs (musician). Or, I can use that title ("Phineas and Ferb producers") and use the Phineas and Ferb article as the lead link. What do you think? The Flash {talk} 22:07, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    You could create a List of Phineas and Ferb crew article, which could include writers, directors, producers, notable animators and storyboarders, maybe have a special bit on the creators and anything I haven't thought of. This would serve as a good lead article for a (sufficiently general) "Phineas and Ferb crew" topic, with all individuals meriting articles included in the topic, and should hopefully be long enough to become an FL as well, unlike your suggested producers list which only has 4 items? rst20xx (talk) 00:02, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Still, though, most of the crew do not have a source, nor would there be that much info to make a GA out of all of them. The Flash {talk} 00:43, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    As I said, most of the crew won't be notable enough to merit articles, and if they're not notable enough to merit articles, then they won't be needed for a topic. So there will probably not be very many more articles involved in a crew topic than your producers topic - rst20xx (talk) 00:56, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - in the past a topic on the History of Microsoft containing only the two founders was opposed; this proposal is an even moreso narrowing than that. Nergaal (talk) 21:38, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Close with no consensus to promote - rst20xx (talk) 18:27, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
