I've listed this article for peer review because I am hoping to nominate it for FA in the future and welcome any comments to make that process smoother. Thanks, Heartfox (talk) 07:43, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

You have done a good job with the article. I have always happy to see an editor work on an obscure television show. I enjoyed reading this article and learning about this show. It looks like you have successfully mined all of the sources out there about this show. I think the biggest potential obstacle for a FAC is the prose. It is rather rough in certain spots so I would recommend the WP:GOCE copy-edit (which I have listed above) and reading through it again more thoroughly. Hopefully, other editors will participate in this peer review. I hope these comments are helpful and have a great weekend! Aoba47 (talk) 02:45, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Just collapsing the addressed comments to avoid having too much on the page as I would not want to deter any potential reviewers. Aoba47 (talk) 04:53, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Aoba47: I know you collapsed the messages above, but I believe I have addressed all of them now. I have redone the critical reception section and it seems short but unfortunately that's all there is. Please let me know if you have any further comments. I was wondering if I should paraphrase newspaper summaries/previews of the episodes, add add like 1-2 sentences as a plot summary. I don't know if that's been done anywhere else or proper but maybe it would be helpful to provide at least a little info? I will leave some comments at your PR soon.

- Apologies for collapsing the comment prematurely. I had mistakenly thought that you had already addressed all of my comments. I think the "Critical reception" section looks better as more structure enables the readers to better understand how the show was received by critics. I would not worry about the length. As long as you did your best to try and find coverage, then you should be fine. That is one of the challenges with working on obscure topics.
- I would not have any issues with you paraphrasing episodes summaries, especially since these episodes are not readily available. I have done a similar thing in the past when I wrote about obscure television shows. The only time that I think this would be an issue is if the series can easily watched, which would allow for better episode summaries. However, since that is not the case here, I would go with paraphrasing.
- I have a random and quick question. What inspired you to create an article about this show and work on to potentially get it to the FA level? Aoba47 (talk) 21:22, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Aoba47: I added episodic summaries; hopefully they're okay. I was adding ratings/viewership to every show from the 1988–89 United States network television schedule and noticed One of the Boys didn't have an article, so I made one. I find research and writing fun so I decided to work on it :) Heartfox (talk) 09:38, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- I believe that they should be fine, but hopefully, other editors comment on this peer review and provide their own perspectives about it. I agree that research and writing are fun and I have definitely been in similar situations where I made an article after noticing one did not exist before (actually my work on Katie Joplin was quite similar).
