I'll be helping bring this article up to Wikipedia's standards on BabyFirst's behalf while following WP:COI. I haven't researched or constructed any draft content yet, but first I wanted to suggest some cleanup to make room for encyclopedic material. In particular, the entire bottom half of the article from "Thinking Journey (Yellow)" to "Former Shows" I think can be removed as an indiscriminate list (or moved to a List article if you prefer). This is a more appropriate place for readers to find a list of shows.
Also, the company now goes by just "BabyFirst" without the "TV" in their name, so I'd suggest we move the article appropriately. Pinging User:Crisco 1492, as I often defer to him on article naming matters. CorporateM ( Talk) 20:53, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

I've prepared a draft GAN-ready article at User:CorporateM/BabyFirst. I was hoping a disinterested editor would consider incorporating the draft if they feel it would be an improvement for Wikipedia and its readers. In comparison to the current article, the proposed replacement:
If there's any way I can help make further improvements or questions about the draft, let me know! CorporateM ( Talk) 04:16, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

I'll take this review. I'll be somewhat busy over the next couple of days, but I will certainly post some initial comments by the end of the week. -- Bentvfan54321 ( talk) 01:27, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
I've gone through the main section of the article. I'm too busy right now to take a good look at the references and links, but I hope to have that done before the end of the weekend.
In short, the prose looks okay, it just needs some minor cleanup. I'll take a look at the references within the next few days, hopefully sooner than later. Thanks, -- Bentvfan54321 ( talk) 00:37, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
General note: Make sure all the works in the refs are linked on their first appearances (e.g. link The Hollywood Reporter in ref 1 but not in ref 12).
Replace the url in ref 15 with " http://variety.com/2008/more/news/time-warner-to-carry-babyfirst-1117985425/"
Refs 10, 23, and 27 all have urls ending with ".comews", while ref 4 ends with "ypost.com." Make sure those are fixed. Ref 18 needs an access date.
Other than that, the refs look great with few problems and no major plagiarism concerns. Fix these issues and expand the lead slightly (doesn't have to be much), and I'll give it a pass.
Oh, one more minor thing. Link DirecTV in the lead section. -- Bentvfan54321 ( talk) 00:57, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
At this point, the article is strong enough for GA as all major issues have been resolved. Nice work, -- Bentvfan54321 ( talk) 16:52, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
How about this for the Lead:

According to Rocky Mountain News, Bellco Capital, Regency Enterprises and Kardan were BabyFirst's early investors, which is probably why they were listed as owners in the Infobox. They are also listed as current investors here. Someone changed the listed owners to Ride On, Cerberus Capital Management and RTL Group without a source. Can someone revert it back to the correct owners confirmed by reliable sources? CorporateM ( Talk) 17:45, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
