Might violates WP:RS, since all references used except one are from the TV network website, not from independent sources.—Chris! ct 00:35, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- IF TV.com is a reliable source, I will add that in, but currently, I do not believe it is one. -- signed by SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24 (spell my name backwards) at 01:07, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]- Support It now meets the FLC criteria.—Chris! ct 20:01, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from Truco (formerly SRX)
Oppose - good list, but not comparable to List of American Idol finalists
- Canadian Idol is a Canadian Interactive reality game show series. - no need to capitalize Interactive
- The series premiered their first season on 2003 on CTV and has aired six seasons. - the first on should be in. How about rewording the last part of that sentence to , and has since aired five more seasons
- As a result of the current economic climate, there will be no season seven of Canadian Idol in 2009. - reword the last part to a seventh season will not be produced in 2009.
- Seventeen finalists have came from the province of Ontario, while British Columbia and Alberta have each had 9. - either reword the first part to ..have come from the or to ..came from the
- Actually, I have an even crisper suggestion: "Seventeen finalists reside in the province of Ontario..." Dabomb87 (talk) 04:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The second paragraph, the one about the show format, should go into the first one.
- I was the one who suggested the split, but it does look a little stubby, so this should probably be done. I will go further to say that "Sixty-one contestants have reached the finals of their respective Canadian Idol season." should be deleted, and the next sentence in the last paragraph should say: "Of the 61 contestants who have reached the finals of their respective Canadian Idol season...

- The sortability function of the table does not work.
- There needs to be more use of third party reliable sources, versus primary ones from the company.
- As I said to Chris above, if TV.com is a reliable source, then I will use it. -- signed by SRE.K.A

- Caption:Jacob Hoggard, now the lead singer of Hedley,[4] was third on the second season of Canadian Idol. - how about finished third--SRX 16:16, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
- I have asked for a copy-edit from Dabomb87, and he gave me one, but I never knew that there was more. Thanks for pointing out those grammar problems. Also, this is my first Oppose I've gotten in over 3 months. Now I finally realize how hard it is to make your own article by hand. I have done all your comments/concerns, and will appreciate if there is more that is needed to be resolved. -- signed by SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24 (spell my name backwards) at 01:34, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]- Also, the sorting is currently glitched on Firefox. If you try it on Explorer, you'll see that the sorting works perfectly. -- signed by SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24 (spell my name backwards) at 01:47, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]- Hey SRE, I didn't say I was perfect :). Most of SRX's suggestions were good catches, I have offered further suggestions under his comments. I wouldn't worry about the oppose, it is not binding; most of the issues are relatively easy to fix. As for TV.com, that doesn't seem to be a reliable source from a first glance. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Re primary sources, there is nothing wrong with them as long as they are limited to the verification of uncontentious information. To SRE, a quick search on ProQuest revealed an article that provides more detail on why Canadian Idol is not airing. If you are interested, see User:Dabomb87/Misc. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:29, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- What about the comments that have no replies above, are they done? Sorry to give you your first oppose in 3 months, but I can support once these comments are resolved, the list just needs other publishing sources, not just primary source--SRX 22:28, 2 January 2009 (UTC)s.
- If you read what I wrote, "I have done all your comments/concerns, and will appreciate if there is more that is needed to be resolved." :D I'll try to get more secondary sources. -- signed by SRE.K.A

- Weak Support - all my issues were resolved, but one, which is that there should have been more variety in the references to sources, other than that, the list meets WP:WIAFL.--Truco 21:18, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Comment Please fix the dab links. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:34, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support I copy-edited the article and checked the images before the FLC, and the article now fully meets FL criteria. I also added another third-party source. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:34, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support Comments from Kensplanet
- Can you move As a result of the slowing economy climate, there will be no season seven of Canadian Idol in 2009 to the second paragraph, because I see some mention of season there.
- Can you include wikilinks for Ontario, while British Columbia and Alberta. Will be helpful for Non-Canadians.
- Prince Edward Island and all other Canadian provinces need to be linked too.
- References, List all checked. All look Good.
- Do Ping me on my Talk once these issues have been adressed. I'll Support. KensplanetTC 14:23, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
