Oppose at this time, because the show is still airing its first season, so the article may undergo significant development in the next 2-3 months. Moswento ^talky 08:58, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning oppose. I've re-assessed the article as B-class, its present state. It's rather developed; perhaps unlikely to receive significant improvements. Northamerica1000^(talk) 02:23, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Exposure – (page view stats • edit • talk • history)

A critically acclaimed TV series, which earned back to back Peabody awards for David Chase, who achieved the same feat years later with The Sopranos. The amount of awards this beast has won is simply astounding...and this article's prose simply does not match the quality of TV series it is describing.--Coin945 (talk) 12:37, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

An article on an economy of a country, it should be better that this. Most of the other nearby island nations have better articles than this one, and I think it is important to improve this article. Horai 551 10:17, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I struggle to envisage what a good article for this would look like. How can it be expanded? Maybe if you posted some ideas on the talk page, I might be persuaded to support. Moswento ^talky 08:59, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - per Moswento, its hard to imagine what improvements could be made to such an article. Maybe merging with the other prefixes would be a better way forward. - Evad37 [talk] 02:41, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
