Hello, I copy-edited the article. I removed some irrelevant wikilinks, contractions and random hyphens. I also removed most of the reception section. Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, the authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide wrote "Cloud goes up, cloud goes down …' A cautionary tale that gives Dr. Nick his biggest chance to shine."[1] This sentence states what happened in the episode, but it does not state what anyone thought about it. In a review of "Obscure characters of pop culture," IGN noted that "The Simpsons episode, "Homer's Triple Bipass", introduced fans to one of the show's more endearing background players, Dr. Nick."[2] Not only is this not true, but it has little to do with how people reacted to this episode and more to do with how Dr. Nick is endearing and made an appearance in "Homer's Triple Bypass". I have faith in The Simpsons WikiProject due to its great reputation, so I am putting this on hold. If the reception section is expanded, good article status will be granted.

Well, to be honest, its not really a case of some reception being omitted, its a case of it not actually existing on third party websites. I'll take a look around and see what I can find, but I can't assure anything big, unfortunately. Qst (talk) 14:54, 1 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
No, it shouldn't. Its classed as reception, because the scene in the episode wouldn't be mentioned on that website, thus it is classed as reception. Qst (talk) 17:26, 5 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
I disagree with that promotion. Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles discourages those kind of approvals in an explicit way: It states that not all articles can become good articles, and if the sources to expand it to required levels simply do not exist, then it can't be promoted to good article because "it's as good as it will ever get" Benito Sifaratti (talk) 19:18, 26 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
The article shouldn't be delisted solely because of that. I think what TheDemonhog meant was that although the article is short, it is still good, not that she was overlooking anything major. Can you point out anything major in the article that you believe is missing? -- Scorpion042220:31, 27 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

742 Evergreen Terrace is depicted as Snake's house in this episode - and next door, where Ned Flanders is supposed to be, was Rev. Lovejoy. What's up with that? 67.187.111.107 (talk) 23:27, 1 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
