Issues that need work

This page has a significant number of issues that need fixing:

- This page is currently 14,666 words. For comparison, History of Real Madrid CF is 15,969 words and covers the entire history of a much more reputable and relevant club. Same goes for all four sub-articles of History of Manchester United F.C., which are shorter than this article. History of FC Barcelona is 11,895 words and covers the entire history of that club. It is not credible that FC Basel needs five articles, the shortest of which is almost 8,000 words long and the longest of which is almost 20,000 words long.

- A significant amount of the information of this page is entirely unsourced.

- This page is poorly written and contains a large number of spelling and grammar errors, as well as poor formatting.

- This page has not been updated for some time and is missing any information about the last few seasons.

It is my belief that all five History of FC Basel pages should be combined into one, significantly shorter article, probably with a length of around 8,000-10,000 words. I know a lot of work has gone into this page, and the other pages, but they simply do not meet Wikipedia standards at the current moment. I have pasted this talk page message onto the talk pages of the other four pages, as well as the same tags. Toffeenix (talk) 04:35, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
