I am nominating this for featured list removal because on the lead alone, it comprises of a single sentence. Moreover, references are provided, but inline citations are not used. The table is not sortable. It was promoted way back in early 2007, and has not been reviewed since. Currently, it fails WP:FLCR#1, #2, #3b, and #4. Various similar lists since have been de-listed, due to particularly the same issue. Unfortunately, it doesn't meet the current Featured list criteria, and should be delisted. Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 05:18, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yikes. There is literally no context in this list at all. I can't imagine that this would be promoted in this state today. Hog Farm Talk 05:24, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - This article is amazing. The time, effort & accuracy put into it, is awesome. GoodDay (talk) 05:30, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unusable to anyone with color blindness. Completely useless information in its current form, offers no names or voting numbers/percentages with a virtually nonexistent lead. Not a single inline citation, and starts with the obsolete "This article is"... the problems are endless, should be delisted ASAP, unless someone is willing to do a complete rewrite.

    Problems with articles are never endless. Numerous maybe, but not endless. :-) Tompw (talk) 16:44, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Which part of FLC #4 does it fail? It's easy to navigate, and has section headings. (It's not appropriate for the 'table' to be sortable.) I plan to work on some of the other issues, but that's not a reason to consider the article in its current state. Tompw (talk) 13:14, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist There is a lack of context about the evolution of canadian politics, the tables are very information-dense, and one does not feel after reading the list that they either have a good understanding of how canadian politics have changed over time, nor other good articles where one could learn more. The summary for example, is more of a counting result than a good summary of what one was meant to derive from the list. Is it a bad list? Not in my opinion. Is it of featured list level? Also not in my opinion. Additionally, I agree with color-blindness concerns, using Coblis ([2]) to test for Tritanopia—hard to distinguish BSC and ASC. I hope this list can get back to FL tho, as I see a lot of potential on this topic. A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Talk 20:52, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist as nomination – Some changes have been made to improve the list, and it is better than before, but it really needs significant changes to meet the FL criteria. Few citations are converted to inline, but there is still no context. With almost 3 weeks passed, I think it should be delisted. I'll be happy to strike my vote if anyone returns to make the changes. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 13:49, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist - Lack of context; MOS:ACCESS issues. Hog Farm Talk 05:42, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
