- Notified: Flewis, Australian rules football
This doesn't seem to be at the right level any more. Its carried a tag on the top of the page since September last year, and there are questions over the non-free images used. - SchroCat (talk) 08:45, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Was it ever at the right level? It seems that it has always used non-neutral peacock terms such as "screamer", "specky", etc. StAnselm (talk) 09:44, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- They aren't peacock terms, they describe a specific type of mark. Jjamesryan (talk | contribs) 02:37, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Is "screamer" different to "specky"? The wikilinks go to the same article. What does "threw a screamer" (Peter Knights, 1972) mean? What qualifies as a "huge screamer" (Jeremy Howe, 2012)? Is there a difference between a "very high leap" (Andrew Krakouer, 2011) and a "huge leap" (Liam Jurrah, 2010)? StAnselm (talk) 02:47, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- (Most of the above examples were added after promotion to FL status, but it should never have been promoted with language such as "towering chest mark" (Tarrant, 2003) or "magnificent leap" (Ablett, 1994). Also, it was promoted with numerous citations to droppunt.com, which doesn't strike me as a reliable source. Perhaps User:Scorpion0422 can better explain the reasons for promotion.)

Delegate note: while there hasn't been a lot of discussion on this list, the list does have some pretty glaring issues- the 5-tag box at the top, the short, choppy 1-sentence paragraphs, and the many informal, exuberant ways of saying "jumped really high" and "threw really far". I'm going to be closing this as delist in the next few days unless there's some movement on fixing the issues. --PresN 00:50, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Closing this as delisted. --PresN 14:18, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list removal because, as suggested for the Good Topic nomination for the GH series, this list (that I created) really doesn't need to sit outside of the main GH:80s article - its too short and little much to say about it. I would just be bold and merge, but since this is a FL I'd rather go through the proper channel to do that. MASEM (t) 17:19, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Masem, have you notified the relevant projects or editors. If not, could you do so, per the guidelines please? Cheers – SchroCat (talk) 07:02, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I've notified the VG project just now. --MASEM (t) 15:24, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with your logic, this would actually sit quite nicely in the main GH:80s article. Delist. Mattximus (talk) 23:06, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, given that no one seems to be arguing with the original nominator that this list should be delisted/merged, I'm going to go ahead and close it as delisted. --PresN 00:52, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
