I've listed this article for peer review because I am trying to promote the topic of NBA awards to featured topic status.

Thanks, —Chris! _ct 01:29, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

I will also help with this peer review as I am also trying to promote the topic of NBA awards to featured topic status. -- K. Annoyomous24_[c] 06:10, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs). Not many things, because the article is so short:

• "The Larry O'Brien NBA Championship Trophy is a trophy awarded to the National Basketball Association (NBA) team who wins the NBA Finals at the conclusion of every basketball season." "who"-->that, a team is not a person.
  • DONE! -- K. Annoyomous24_[c] 03:49, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
• "nine inches" needs a non-breaking space.
  • DONE! -- K. Annoyomous24_[c] 03:49, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
• I'm assuming that the three inline citations at the end of the prose covers all the information.

That is correct.—Chris! _ct 19:00, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

• "For a list of winners, see List of NBA champions." Be a bit more specific about the "winners".
  • DONE! -- K. Annoyomous24_[c] 03:49, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
• Are there any images of players holding the trophy?

No—Chris! _ct 19:00, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Giggy

• Hmm, a short one. There's no more content about there? Nothing else that can be said about it? Since it's a championship trophy, Stanley Cup would be a somewhat similar (featured) article.

The Stanley Cup has been in this world for more than 100 years. This trophy has only been here for approx. 30. Also, the finals aren't called the Larry O'Brien Championships like the Stanley Cup Championship.

• "replacing its predecessor Walter A. Brown Trophy" --> "replacing its predecessor, the Walter A. Brown Trophy"

DONE! -- K. Annoyomous24_[c] 03:23, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

• "It is designed to look like a basketball about to enter a basketball net." - any way to not repeat the word "basketball"?

No. -- K. Annoyomous24_[c] 03:23, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

• • Same in the next sentence.

I think I fixed it...just make sure. -- K. Annoyomous24_[c] 03:23, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

• "A new Larry O'Brien Trophy is made every year, so the winning team maintains permanent possession of that trophy." - I get what you're saying, but it should be clarified that they maintain last year's trophy.

Done all —Chris! _ct 00:58, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Question to reviewer: Can this article pass GAC/FAC?—Chris! _ct 01:19, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Doubtful. There is a discussion on the FAC talk page about whether very short articles that have exhausted all possible sources are deserving of FA status. However, I don't think this one would qualify. If you are trying for a featured topic, perhaps this could pass off for an audited article of limited subject material. Now GAC? That's a different matter, a question that I can't answer. Just a suggestion, have you considered merging this article? Dabomb87 (talk) 01:47, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't intend for this article to pass GAC/FAC. I have to ask because I and someone plan to nominate this article along with several others to featured topic. This article could qualify as an article with a limited subject matter, which required a peer view and a failed GAC/FLC.—Chris! _ct 02:10, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Right. I suggest submitting to GAC and if it fails because the subject matter is too narrow, then you can use the failed nom to justify the passing of the article as of limited matter. Obviouslt, if the article fails at GAC it won't pass at FAC. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:49, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't think we (since I think we're going to co-nominate together for the FTC) should GAC this article since I think all we need to do to make an article to have a limited subject matter is, a peer review. Also, if we put it on GAC, the reviewers will say that the article is a pre-mature article. Conclusion: just finished this peer review for the article to be considered to have a limited subject matter. -- K. Annoyomous24_[c] 05:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I already asked on WT:FT?, an article has to have a peer review and a failed GAC/FAC nom done, in order to qualify for article with limited subject matter. Like Dabomb87 said, we need the failed nom to justify the passing of the article as of limited subject matter.—Chris! _ct 05:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Ok then. Just do the GAC for this article, and get our FTC nominaton ready. -- K. Annoyomous24_[c] 06:02, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

• Are you sure there's no more information available on this trophy, at all? Giggy (talk) 07:03, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I'm for sure. -- K. Annoyomous24_[c] 08:40, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Concur. I google it again and I can't find any info on the trophy.—Chris! _ct 01:19, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
