Self Re-nomination Came so close to an agreement 3 Support, 1 Oppose (Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Washington Redskins first-round draft picks/archive1). Still think this list is close to/has met Featured list criteria. I also believe that it is up to par with the other lists of Pro Football First Round picks (see List of Minnesota Vikings first-round draft picks and List of Tampa Bay Buccaneers first-round draft picks). It also has references and is well set out. Thanks, Jwalte04 (talk) 17:58, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Apologies for closing it when it was so close, but an editor clearly had issues with the page and it had been there 23 days with few comments, so I figured a new nom would bring fresh comments. -- Scorpion0422 19:25, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Totally agree. Jwalte04 (talk) 22:53, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Fantastically annotated, free of POV, complete, and referenced. -Drdisque (talk) 05:22, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Looks great, meats up to all the other FL articles of this same subject, amazingly referenced!

  • Weak Oppose Support: At the moment, I see a couple things that would greatly enhance the list:
    1. The white-space to the right of the list is just too big. Can pictures of the stadium, players, the team's logo, something be put in that space? Or the table be widened to 100%? I know the other FLs you mentioned above have the same problem, but IMO there shouldn't be that much space.
    2. The header column "National Football League, Early Era (1936–1969)" adds nothing. There's no corresponding "Modern Era (1970-Present)", there's no indication of why that is important.
    3. If the Redskins started in '32 and since there's no "List of Boston Redskins first-round draft picks", could the table be extended back to '32? I'm assuming you included '36 because that took place for the '37 season?
    4. Year, Player, Position, and College could all be sortable.
    5. Ernie Davis' note needs to be clarified as to why it's on this list. Searching for his name showed me he was a Redskin player, but that should be explicit. Additionally, the third "Notable First" strikes me as trivial, bordering on OR.
Overall, well sourced (though is [thehogs.net TheHogs.net] a RS?), and looks complete. Nice work. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 02:08, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • 1. Not done Okay, I will work on it. Done Added picture of Darrell Green.
    • Yeh, that's a picture, though I was thinking more along the lines of how this list does it :)
      • I would do that, but frankly there arent enough usable pictures of people that are on this list.
        • Yeh, that's what I thought was the case. Not a show-stopper, in my opinion, just a nice-to-have.
  • 2. Done added Modern Era Header, its important to the history because it was 1970 was the first draft after the merger.
  • 3. Done I have it starting in 1936 because thats when the first draft took place.
  • 4. Not done I dont know how to do this, so if there is an agreement on this, can someone tell me how? thanks.
    • I'm not sure it's worth it, but (IMO) it would make the table better. First, the "Modern Era" and "Early Era" cells spanning the whole table messes up the sorting, as does the very first cell (which is redundant anyway). The "No Draft Picks" also messes it up. So I've put together a start at Wikipedia:Sandbox/sb2 to take a look at. Your call if you want to put that much effort into it - and what do others think?
      • I personally dont really like it, but if there are others that do and think that it will improve the article, then I am on board.
        • I guess this is probably a "nice-to-have" as well. Unless others chime in that sortable is better, I won't press it :)
  • 5. Done Clarified that Ernie Davis was a Redskins pick and lost the third notable fact.
