- Result: Delist Still outstanding issues that have not been addressed. AIRcorn (talk) 07:52, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
This article has problems, the "Other Appearances" section has a lack of references, and seems to be trivia. Also, I am seeing some of the dead links including refs 6 and 7 which redirects to the Nickelodeon (Nick.com) website, and refs 13 and 33 is a bare URL.

- Section removed. Will see if it stays out. Dead links are not a reason to delist in itself, it depends what information they support. You could try the wayback machine to try and save them. Are all the projects and editors who might be interested in this article notified of this reassessment? AIRcorn (talk) 12:49, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply, I've fixed some of the four links using with Wayback Machine and one from HighBeam Research.

- Comment. I've glanced through the article and have concerns. The lead section goes isn't a good encapsulation of the article; it includes too much detail on the derivation of his name and includes facts not found in the body of the article (see the material on "Bob the Sponge".) The Critical Reception section is stubby and incomplete, with a scant three sentences. While the article is generally well-written the prose is occassionally off-target; for example, the sentence "He iconically lives in a pineapple with his pet snail Gary" would be better rendered as ''He lives in an iconic pineapple with his pet snail Gary". With a little work this article can be brought up to GA standards. Majoreditor (talk) 02:47, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
- I've fix some of it a bit, I'll try to work on it myself, plus File:Spongebob-squarepants.png does appear to meet WP:NFCC#8 and WP:NFCC#10a, one image being used on main article and this link to the image is not a source. JJ98 (Talk / Contribs) 10:54, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
- Removed the photo from the infobox as the source attributed to it is clearly another image. There are still a few good points made by Majoreditor above that need to be addressed. Will leave it open a bit longer, but it is getting close to two months now. AIRcorn (talk) 08:05, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
