I'm sorry, but this is going to be a very quick fail. Firstly, you don't seem to have contributed to the article at all and are a very inexperienced user. I would recommend that you familiarize yourself with the good article criteria. This article is clearly not up to snuff on several regards:

• There are countless paragraphs that are entirely unsourced:

1. "The first episode of Daria…any references to Beavis and Butt-head.
2. "The series ran for five seasons…series finale in January 2002.
3. "The series' only direct reference…Lawndale."
4. The whole "Characters" section
5. "Set during Daria's high school years…operating at high dysfunction."
6. "The dynamics among the characters…fueled several of season five's stories."
7. "The show itself…designed and animated months earlier."
8. "Some story points…the preceding episode."
9. "For the 1998 and 1999…the music was removed almost entirely."
10. "In the Complete Series DVD release…Yeah, it's just like that.' " (this also has an unsourced direct quote)
11. "Books" section

There's also a lot of material within paragraphs that should be verified.

• Citations to a lot of non-reliable sources, including a lot of sources to "Outpost-Daria" (a fan site) and database entries.

• The coverage is not broad enough. There aren't enough reviews or production notes, specifically on reviews throughout the run and notes on casting or animating.

• The article overall is not focused and some sections are way too long and excessively detailed. Compared to the production and reception sections, there are too many details in the "Music and licensing" and the rambling, unclear "related media" section.

If you would like to work on this article further, I would fix these issues and then take it to WP:PR before nominating again. Thank you. BenLinus1214^talk 00:31, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
