Proposed merge for awards list
editList of awards and nominations received by Prison Break is fairly short; even if some currently missing but notable awards are added, it would still fit easily into this article. I propose merging the list into this article, essentially replacing the current "Awards and nominations" section. RunningTiger123 (talk) 01:34, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
- 100% merge. Drovethrughosts (talk) 12:35, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
It doesn't seem like this will be a controversial merge, so I will perform the merge shortly. RunningTiger123 (talk) 03:03, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
Article review
editIt has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took a look and noticed the following:
- The article has some uncited statements, including some short paragraphs. While some of this is covered in MOS:PLOT, others are not.
- Season 4 and 5 of the "Series overview" needs to be cleaned up. I suggest merging the short paragraphs into larger ones and trimming prose for the most important information.
- The first paragraphs of the "Cast and characters" section talks about seasons 1-3, but not of seasons 4-5. Information about those seasons should be added.
- The "Cast and characters" section is too detailed. This causes in-universe information to be over-emphasised. I do not think every character who has been billed as a main cast member should have information about them, especially when there is an article for the list of characters.
- "Other media" suffers a little from MOS:OVERSECTION. I suggest that this is either expanded upon or reorganised to delete some headings.
Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 15:26, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

- If the plot unreferenced statements are in episodes, then that's fine as the plot is the source. If the statements are in other places, then an episode citation should be added. Gonnym (talk) 09:07, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
Noting for the record that while there have been no further comments here indicating interest in resolving the issues outlined above, the article has been substantially edited by Drovethrughosts in the meantime. For clarity as to whether this could be closed or should remain open: Drovethrughosts, is it your intention to resolve the issues raised above during the course of this WP:GAR?
