I'll have a look at this, will post review as soon as possible. Kosack (talk) 09:10, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Initial review

Infobox

I notice general manager has two capital letters but head coach has lower case for the coach part. I'd say manager should probably lose the capital letter.
- Fixed.

Lead

Las Vegas Lights FC are an American professional soccer team", I think it's standard for is to be used instead of are when referring to a football team.
- Fixed.
"Nevada club who also play in USL", should this be "in the USL"? Otherwise it's saying, play in United Soccer League. (If this is correct, then there may be further changes through the article required with the same issue).
- Fixed this instance and a few others.

History

"to call Las Vegas home", comes across a little informal. Perhpas "to be based in Las Vegas" or something similar?
- Fixed.
"terminated by the league after their first season", what was the reason for this?
- Added "financial issues", as the newspaper source is rather vague.
Link exhibition matches to Exhibition game.
- Done.

Inaugural season

Link Liga MX.
- Done.

Stadium

Unlink Downtown Las Vegas. Per WP:OVERLINK, links should generally only appear once in the text.
- Done.

Club badge and jersey

"The club's jerseys are manufactured by BLK and including logos of sponsors", including > include.
- Fixed.

Ownership and management

Unlink Liga MX here as it should now be linked in the first mention further up.
- Done.
Unlink Chelis, also previously linked previously.
- Done.

Club culture

Silver State Cup is red linked. WP:REDLINK states that red links should only really be included for articles that are likely to meet notability requirements to encourage creation. As this is the rivalry of two teams, one of which is in its first season, I would be surprised if this would be notable enough.
- Done.

First-team squad

Same red link issue with Thomas Olsen in the squad list, if he doesn't meet WP:NFOOTBALL then he shouldn't be linked.
- Done.

References

No issues here, formatted immaculately.

External links

On a side note, is the club template really necessary? It only has a link to the club's ground.
- It also has a link to the season and will likely grow in upcoming years.

Not much to really change really, article is well written and referenced. A few minor issues, placed on hold for now. Kosack (talk) 08:30, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Kosack: All addressed. To be honest, I thought that this would be picked up much later, with time for me to write up an end-of-season summary. I will have to go back and do so in October. Sounder Bruce 21:45, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have no further concerns over the article, it meets the relevant GA criteria. A nice piece of work, promoting. Kosack (talk) 11:59, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
