I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it meets all the requirements that have been laid out by Wikipedia:Featured list criteria. The prose is of Good Article quality (which is passed last summer), it features alt text, images, pristine references, and MOS-complying tables. While any critiques would inevitably make this better, I feel it is ready for the next step.Gen. Quon (Talk) 20:33, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose because I find this to be an article with a list attached to it, so I would suggest taking this to featured article status rather. TBrandley (what's up) 21:35, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Seasons 1 through 4 of the show have been promoted to featured list. Besides, there is already a precedent for other series' season pages at the main Featured List page.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 21:55, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with TB in the sense of I personally feel it should be taken to FA rather than FL (it has quite a lot of prose), but however, there seems to be a precedent style for such types of articles. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 22:36, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, normally I'd agree, but I don't want to go against the convention. And considering season 1-4 are FLs, I feel that it would be a tad odd to suddenly have a FA (if it passes, that is).--Gen. Quon (Talk) 22:47, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Although this looks more like an article than a typical list article, I highly doubt that anybody at FAC would vote for a FA with such a large table. Nergaal (talk) 02:54, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, that's why I put it up for a vote here.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 17:54, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- "This is the first season without Steve Carell as Michael Scott in the lead role." → "This was the first season of the series without..."
- The lead seems a bit repetitive to me. For example, "The eighth season of the American television comedy The Office...", "The Office is an American adaptation..."

- I cut down on the "this season... this season..." and reduced the references to the show. I also fixed the tense issue.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 00:20, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
