*'''Nominate:''' Extremely extensive and full of photos. Great to see what might have been. --[[User:GrantHarding|GrantHarding]] 20:06, October 8, 2011 (UTC)
*'''Nomination''': This article was nominated back in 2007, and I think it has progressed even further now. Nice summeries of all appearances of Santa, representations of Santa by the Muppets, print appearances, and connections. -- ''[[User:Radionate|<font color="Purple">Nate</font>]] ([[User talk:Radionate|<font color="Purple" size="1">talk</font>]]) 21:13, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 
*'''Support''': I agree; I think it's a fantastic page. It's not a deep page as far as text goes, but the breadth of references and abundance of pictures makes it really fun and definitely worth reading and highlighting. -- [[User:Toughpigs|<font color="Blue">Danny</font>]]<staff /> ([[User talk:Toughpigs|<font color="Blue" size="1">talk</font>]]) 22:13, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 
*'''Supprt:''' I agree. It deserves to be a quality article. And for some reason I thought it already was. --[[User:Minor muppetz|Minor muppetz]] 22:24, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 
*'''Support:''' Ditto all the above. Michael, it was nominated way back, as Nate noted, but Danny wanted more text. The fact that it was nominated in July, and thus the Christmas spirit factor didn't enter into it, was likely part of it as well. :) -- [[User:Aleal|<font color="Blue">Andrew Leal</font>]] ([[User talk:Aleal|<font color="Blue" size="1">talk</font>]])

*'''Nominate:''' Fantastic page, very detailed and thorough coverage of a unique piece of Henson history. -- [[User:BradFraggle|<font color="Blue">Brad D.</font>]] ([[User talk:BradFraggle|<font color="Blue" size="1">talk</font>]]) 13:55, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
*'''Nomination''': January was the time when I first nominated the article and it has been great then as many people edited then. It filled up the Recent Changes list with help by Danny and some other users. It looks great right now with lots of information, sections and images. [[User:Webkinz Mania|Webkinz Mania]] 22:33, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 
*'''Oppose''': This article is still a work in progress. There are several years left blank, one redlink and a mismatch of references creating an unbalance. —[[User:Scarecroe|Scott]] ([[User talk:Scarecroe|<font size="1">talk</font>]]) 05:25, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 
*'''Comment''': For the record, how often an article was edited, how many users edited it, or filling up Recent Changes aren't signs of a Quality Article. The full criteria is [[Muppet Wiki:Quality articles|here]] and includes comprehensiveness. Something like "[[Monsterpiece Theater]]" may still have an omission, but it includes every known sketch and ekas for the majority, and the same for [[Sesame Street News Flash]], and both are also well-organized and readable. This is why I encouraged you to nominate other articles, Ellis. It could still become a Quality Article at some point, but it needs a lot of work and probably more research (which may or may not be available). -- [[User:Aleal|<font color="Blue">Andrew Leal</font>]] ([[User talk:Aleal|<font color="Blue" size="1">talk</font>]]) 00:43, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 
*'''Comment''': I'm not sure why you guys think it's so incomplete. The four main sections are very detailed, and have lots of references. The "Muppet Appearances" list is only missing one year. The only thing that really looks "incomplete" is the list of characters on the ''Sesame'' float; that's more of a nerdy, completist thing, so I moved it to the bottom of the article. I'm not sure what Scott means about the references being unbalanced. -- [[User:Toughpigs|<font color="Blue">Danny</font>]]<staff /> ([[User talk:Toughpigs|<font color="Blue" size="1">talk</font>]]) 18:22, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

*'''Comment:''' I'm on the fence. It actually only has skits from three seasons. Nothing for Seasons 34, 36, and 37 (according to the article, it seems like 37 was the last to feature it on a daily basis, but implies season 38 my have had a few new segments), unless we know for a fact that all of those used repeats. Right now, [[Letter of the Day Games]] is also a separate page, but the title is fanmade just to cover some Letter of the Day segments that use a game show format (and which seems to account for most of the season 36 blanks). I think that could be merged (though the writing there is shakier). The lead-in is good, though, and the top image amusing. Some of this may be longterm, but some may also be fixable. It may take awhile to fully cover every season, but right now, three wholly unaccounted for (and possible omissions on others) strikes me as a sign of a promising article that's not yet reached fruition. -- [[User:Aleal|<font color="Blue">Andrew Leal</font>]] ([[User talk:Aleal|<font color="Blue" size="1">talk</font>]]) 00:43, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 
*'''Comment''': When I looked the page over, I didn't realize so many sketches were missing. If that's true, I rescind my supporting vote until such a time as those gaps can be filled. —[[User:Scarecroe|Scott]] ([[User talk:Scarecroe|<font size="1">talk</font>]]) 00:48, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 
*'''Comment:''' I thought the same thing as Andrew, that several seasons were missing. But is it possible that no new Letter of the Day segments were shot for those seasons? The article is unclear on this matter, but that should be clarified before this can become a Quality Article. -- [[User:Pantalones|<font color="Blue">Peter</font>]] ([[User talk:Pantalones|<font color="Blue" size="1">talk</font>]]) 02:54, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
