Style

• Lead too short for article
• Lead does not make clear the relationship between what it calls two different series, which is quite confusing
• Plot is very short and also not a plot: it vaguely describes who Holmes is
• The first three paragraphs of the Development section would serve better as one. The information should also be linked better.
• Quote blocks seem to take over the development section, some of which should be in casting and some in response. Could easily be lighter on the quoting, but article at least needs to be structured better
• Could also condense paragraphs, cut down on quotes, in the Hiatus section
• The info in Planned continuation, Unused scripts, and German remake could easily be made part of the top section of Episodes
• Needs work

Coverage

• Lead barely informative, is misleading, doesn't cover main points of article
• Plot is non-existent
• Production seems good from info available
• German remake is mostly a statement that it exists; if there is no more info on it, could this be incorporated well somewhere else rather than have a one-line section?
• Reception only has one critic. Fair if only one exists, but not a good view of the general reception otherwise.
• Fail

Illustration

• Episode list could use the standard episode template, and maybe a small box above indicating that those highlighted grey don't or only partially survive
• Fair use infobox image
• If commons images of actors exist, they could be included.
• Needs attention

Verifiability

• All sources seem good
• Several members of the cast, including all Holmeses, are not cited (at least in Cast section)
• "Years later, Wilmer would briefly return to the role...", "repeated between July and September 1970, again in a different running order" and "Twelve of the Cushing episodes..." seem to be unreffed
• BBC Video part unreffed
• After "Twelve of the Cushing episodes", the ref is a note and should be made into one (see Template:efn)
• Fail

Neutrality

• Good, unless there are more reviews and it's built curated bias through only including one...
• pass

Stability

• seems good
• Pass

Copyright

• Check looks fine, just heavy on quoting
• Fair use image with justification
• Pass

Overall

• on hold style and coverage issues that need addressing. Article needs restructure and expansion. Kingsif (talk) 00:40, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
