Removing featured lists in Wikipedia This page is for the review and improvement of featured lists that may no longer meet the featured list criteria. FLs should be kept at current standards, regardless of when they were promoted. Any objections raised in the review must be actionable. The FLC director, Giants2008, or his delegates, PresN and The Rambling Man, determine the exact timing of the process for each nomination. Nominations will last at least 14 days, and longer where changes are ongoing and it seems useful to continue the process. For a nomination to be kept, consensus must be reached that it still meets the criteria. Consensus is built among reviewers and nominators; the delegates determine whether there is consensus. A nomination will be removed from the list, archived and added to Former featured lists if, in the judgment of the director who considers a nomination and its reviews: actionable objections have not been resolved; or consensus to delist has been reached; or insufficient information has been provided by reviewers to judge whether the criteria have been met. Nominations may be closed earlier than the allotted two weeks if, in the judgment of the FLRC delegate, the list in the nomination: has a clear consensus to merge or redirect to another article or list. This consensus may be shown in Articles for deletion, a discussion on the article's talk page, a discussion on the relevant WikiProject(s), or other community venues that present a tangible consensus to merge or redirect the article; or contains a clear copyright violation and removal of the copyrighted material would severely degrade the quality of the list. Do not nominate lists that have recently been promoted (such complaints should have been brought up during the candidacy period as featured list candidates) or lists that have recently survived a removal attempt – such nominations are likely to be removed summarily. A bot will update the list talk page after the list has been kept or the nomination has been archived; the delay in bot processing can range from minutes to several days, and the {{FLRC}} template should remain on the talk page until the bot updates {{ArticleHistory}}. If a nomination is delisted, editors should take adequate time to work on resolving issues before re-nominating at Featured list candidates.  – Table of Contents – Closing instructions

Place {{Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/name of nominated article/archiveNumber}} at the top of the list of nominees on this page by first copying the above, clicking "edit" on the top of the page, and then pasting, making sure to add the name of the nominated article. Notify relevant parties by adding {{subst:FLRCMessage|ArticleName|archive=# of archive page}} (for example, {{subst:FLRCMessage|List of Presidents of the United States|archive=1}}) to relevant talk pages (insert article name). Relevant parties include main contributors to the article (identifiable through article stats script), the editor who originally nominated the article for Featured List status (identifiable through the Featured List Candidate link in the Article Milestones), and any relevant WikiProjects (identifiable through the talk page banners, but there may be other Projects that should be notified). Leave a message at the top of the FLRC indicating whom you have notified and that notifications have been completed.

Nominations for removal

List of Indian Nobel laureates

Notified: JB Hoang Tam, Kalisidina, The Herald, IWikiProject India, WikiProject Awards

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it does not fulfill the featured list criteria anymore. I used this page as inspiration for my FL candidate List of Swiss Nobel laureates, but found that the list in its current status has several issues:

• Sourcing
  • The column "Family" is completely unreferenced
  • For many entries, the column "field" is unreferenced
  • Statements on citizenship at the time of the award are unsourced
• Accessibility
  • Table sorting by name, date of birth or death date does not work. Unclear why "Field" or "Image" should be sortable columns
  • Uses column headers in the middle of the table MOS:COLHEAD
  • No alt text in images
• Prose
  • Excessive use of MOS:CAPS
  • Some entries have an asterisk that is never explained
  • The table section "Expatriates" has different content than the rest of the table, the headers are misleading
• Original research
  • Entries such as Mohammad Hosain Khan (probably Mohammad Habib (1895–1971)) – "probably" according to whom?

The list needs major work to be brought (again) to standard. Broc (talk) 12:42, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

• Comment I have revamped the entire tables with sources and expanded the lead back to the FL version that was promoted in 2019. Since there were no new laureates, the table is unchanged.

However, the major (horrible) change that the article underwent was the addition of nominees. There are over a score of nominees for the prize. But they aren't significant enough to make the list and since we aren't a WP:DIRECTORY, it was not included. Currently, I'm not sure if the nominees section is needed or not. I haven't touched the section yet. If there is a consensus to keep the section, I'm ready to rewrite that and find sources. Else, that entire section is out of scope and must be removed in it's entirety. Other than that, I would suggest to Keep the FL after the recent edits. Thanks. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 12:23, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the improvements, @The Herald! I think it is now much closer to fulfill FL criteria again. The laureates tables should be sortable, and the nominees tables still use MOS:COLHEAD and the sort doesn't work properly. Also, please don't suppress links to images if they are not in public domain, as attribution is required (see MOS:ALT). Broc (talk) 16:55, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

List of Minnesota Vikings starting quarterbacks

Notified: PeeJay, WP:NFL

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it fails a number of the criteria. It has been tagged for needing citations for 7 years, with a good amount of that section lacking sources (#3b). The main table doesn't incorporate sortability and its structure should be updated to match List of Green Bay Packers starting quarterbacks (#4), and the statistics section duplicates material that either exists or should be placed in Minnesota Vikings statistics (3c). Lastly, the prose is choppy and should have a good copyedit (#1). « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:23, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Support in its current state. This clearly wouldn't pass a modern nomination. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 15:23, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

List of Olympic medalists in figure skating

Notified: Parutakupiu

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it does not meet the current standards that we'd expect out of a featured list. It has issues with a lack of citations as well as accessibility.

• Lacks appropriate references (need more), especially above a number of tables where unverified factoids sit
• None of the tables are accessible
• No alt text on any of the images

Hopefully someone will take on the task. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:04, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

• Yes, this article needs a a lot of work. Feel free to remove it as a Featured List until we can clean it up. We’re swamped at WikiProject Figure Skating right now. Bgsu98 (Talk) 12:59, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
• Delist for the reasons outlined in the nomination. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 20:55, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

• Happy to allow time for improvements to be made, so striking my vote to delist. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:56, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

• Hey man im josh, I have begun work on this article today. Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:44, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

  Pleased to see the progress being made! I'm more than willing to be patient if an effort is being made :) Hey man im josh (talk) 12:51, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Keep, the article is in good shape now. 48JCL 19:35, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

I appreciate the compliment. I do still need to finish adding the sources for each set of Olympics. Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:59, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

@Bgsu98, I was AGF that you would add them. 48JCL 14:25, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

So i supported keeping. 48JCL 14:25, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Sources are all added now. Thank you for everyone's patience! Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:40, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

@Hey man im josh @BennyOnTheLoose, work has been done. Keep? 48JCL 14:14, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

@Bgsu98, @48JCL: I'd still like the images to all have appropriate alt text. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:25, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Please clarify. Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:19, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
