List of Brisbane Roar FC players

Featured list removal candidates/List of Brisbane Roar FC players/archive1

Notified: Daniel, WikiProject Australia

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it has many issues:

First, the title says list of players and the list itself is in the third section. Strange!
What is the purpose of the "Records" section for it to be listed first?
"International players" section: it needs updating, names need to be sorted by last name, nat.(I suppose it's nationality) needs to be written clearly along with the flag, check mark and x mark need to go, the footnote for Ivan can be placed under "first cap" column and the "Notes" column can be removed
"List of players" section: it needs updating, names need to be sorted by last name, nat.(I suppose it's nationality) needs to be written clearly along with the flag, check mark and x mark need to go, having those rows for letters is unnecessary and should be removed, again the "Notes" column can be removed and the notes be placed on the appropriate columns.
References: The first three links don't work anymore and the fourth one verifies just one sentence from the lead. Citations needed!
Just a nitpick: this page should use dmy dates, but there's a mdy date. Cheetah (talk) 06:48, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delist Wow you are right, this page looks nice on the surface, but is actually very confusing. I can add to your list. The table sorts by first name, but lists by last name. What does checkmark, x-mark, and strikethrough mean? Why are there no sources for international players, and why is it separate from the main list? Why have 2 lists at all? I'm not sure what any of those abbreviations means. What's with the section with nothing in it? This is too much to fix in a short period of time....

Comment I'll fix this one up by the end of the week if people are happy to reconsider then? Obviously not up to featured list standard at present as discussed. Macosal (talk) 06:49, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Macosal, if you're willing to bring the list to modern FL standards, we can absolutely allow some more time for the work to take place. I'm sure the reviewers will take a second look if that happens. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:11, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Macosal: Okay, looks like you basically completely rewrote the list, which has fixed the major issues raised above. Remaining issues:

The players list is sorted on page load in what seems to be a completely random order- not alphabetical or anything else that I can see- it's roughly by start year, but each start year isn't subsorted by name or end year. If it's by start date instead of year that won't work, because the reader doesn't get that information.
Refs 2 and 3 are dead

Thanks for the heads up, I've addressed both of these points now. Macosal (talk) 22:47, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I think all of the issues that brought this list to FLR have been addressed; I'm going to leave this nomination open for a bit longer to get feedback on the changes, and will close it if there's no objection after that. --Pres N 02:45, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, no objections, so closing as kept. --Pres N 12:43, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Closing note: This candidate has been kept, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FLC/ar, and leave the {{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through.
