This is a list of England international footballers with at least 10 caps, and has been moulded on the already promoted France, Germany, Israel and Scotland lists. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 15:19, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments from ChrisTheDude
- "Despite the first England international match taking place on 30 November 1872, the first player to reach 10 caps for his country was Norman Bailey," => don't see what the first clause is relevant, or what point it's trying to make......?
- Removed. Mattythewhite (talk) 20:05, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- "England's highest scorer in FIFA World Cup finals matches is Gary Lineker, with 10 goals,[8] and the highest scorer in UEFA European Championship finals matches is Alan Shearer, with seven goals.[9]" => both as numbers or both as words, please
- Done. Mattythewhite (talk) 20:05, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Players highlighted as in the team that won the World Cup seems to include squad members who didn't play in the final, so you may wish to change the wording in the key
- Replaced team with squad. Mattythewhite (talk) 20:05, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- "Despite the first England international match taking place on 30 November 1872, the first player to reach 10 caps for his country was Norman Bailey," => don't see what the first clause is relevant, or what point it's trying to make......?

- Support - all looks OK now -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:29, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Does englandstats.com meet FA criteria? It's maintained by some random guy who doesn't know the difference between it's and its. I think it would be preferable, if possible, to use the English FA. Looks good otherwise. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 11:38, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd ask a similar question, is englandstats.com a reliable source? The Rambling Man (talk) 09:06, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Pinging Mattythewhite in case he's forgotten about this nom! The Rambling Man (talk) 11:51, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd prefer not to use the FA as the source, as it's not third party, their links can not be archived and they don't maintain profiles for every player. As to Englandstats.com, it has been used frequently for years, but I'm not certain if passes WP:RS. Mattythewhite (talk) 23:24, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This nomination has been open for more than 3 months with only a single supporting editor; it additionally has seen no activity for a month. I'm going to go ahead and close it as stalled in order to clear out the FLC queue. FLC is currently experiencing a lowered level of review activity; nominators are encouraged to review multiple other nominations for each of their own in order to ensure that all nominations receive sufficient attention. --PresN 16:37, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
