Not the Nine O'Clock News[edit]

Article is no longer a featured article

Another one of the old, brilliant pose featured articles but this is anything but, the first line in the lead is POV with the word ground breaking, shakey writing and only one reference and no footnotes. Remove --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 21:22, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep — the article doesn't make any particularly controversial statements which desperately require inline citations. The "Memorable sketches" section could do with trimming and general cleanup (and maybe a move to Wikiquote), but I don't see enough to warrant FA removal. Anville 07:51, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Remove. The article has a weak lead (per WP:LEAD). No inline citations, list-weighty, poor section/prose. AndyZ 01:17, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Remove. I quite enjoyed reading the article & found it terribly amusing but, alas, it does not constitute our best work... lack of refs indeed a problem & needs a serious copyedit. Mikker ^... 21:13, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
