I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets all the critera for promotion. But, if the review process shows that it needs improvements, I will ensure that it that they are completed with haste. Neonblak talk - 04:22, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Additional comments (KV5)
- Few more comments, very minor.
- "Played sparingly for both the Reds and the Louisville Colonels in 1891, his last season in the majors." - looks like this is the only fragment left (John Irwin's entry).
- In references, there is a double period on Retrosheet, Inc. I'm guessing you used a citation generator. No problem, but the double period should be removed.
- With the baseball-reference.com refs (Sports Reference LLC), both work and publisher are required because the Sports Reference publisher is responsible for a number of websites. Add
|work=baseball-reference.com
to those references. - I might make the lead image larger; it's not doing much good at such a small size. MOS allows it, so I might suggest 225px?
This should be the last of it for me. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 00:44, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for all these suggestions. I wanted it to be as thorough as it can be, because I think this would be the first all-time roster list to get promoted, so I wanted this to be a template, so-to-speak, for future feature lists involving all-time rosters. I incorporated all the changes you just mentioned, and I upped the size of the photo to 325px, seems to fit pretty good at that size.Neonblak talk - 01:58, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, Nashville Sounds all-time roster became a FL on Feb 14, 2009. But this would be the first major leauge and defunct all-time roster. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 03:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(ec) Comments - First, the disambiguation link means that an article, in this case Tommy Dowd, leads to a dab page instead of the one meant to be linked. This can be checked by using the dab checker on the top right of the FAC page. Here are my other comments upon seeing this list.
The photo issue is by far the most pressing. Giants2008 (17-14) 23:26, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Meets the criteria after these, and other, fixes. Disclosure: I made some copy-edit changes to the notes to help this along. As for the content fork concern below, I feel that the main article isn't the right place for an all-time roster. Giants2008 (17-14) 21:45, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- FLC talk asked reviewers to evaluate lists against the new criteria here. I'm sticking with my support because my viewpoint hasn't changed regarding this list. Giants2008 (17-14) 23:46, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - What makes this list notable? It seems like a content fork to me. It is fairly short space-wise; can it not be merged with the Boston Reds article, which much shorter than this article? NuclearWarfare (Talk) 19:41, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The WP:WIAFL is the current standard to meet, not any of the above items pointed out. A major league team, and major league players are all notable; other FLs are either shorter or not significantly longer, i.e. List of Boston Red Sox captains; nor do I think it matters whether it is longer than a related article.Neonblak talk - 21:12, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
