List of English Football League managers by date of appointment[edit]

This article has been through peer review and the issues raised there have been resolved. I believe this list now meets the criteria required for FLC candidates. Self nomination. HornetMike 14:21, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong support. Thoroughly referenced and up-to-date. I think it is great that the editors (mainly HornetMike) have gone to the trouble of locating a reliable source for all the manager's appointments rather than just scraping a list off someone else's site. A list like this needs to be maintained. I hope the WikiProject Football support you in this task. Colin°Talk 22:24, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That only applies if it wasn't used as a reference. I believe it does serve as a reference since it enables the reader to check that these managers are still the manager. (Though that ref isn't updated as quickly as this list.) Colin°Talk 18:03, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Support incredibly neat and immensely well researched and constructed. As long as it is kept up to date, it has my vote any time. к1иgf1$н£я5ω1fт 17:23, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. An excellent list providing sources for each date. Not a single red link. Michaelas10 (Talk) 20:46, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose Dario Gradi's nationality. See Talk Page.--Skully Collins Edits 12:38, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't see any problem with that. He was born in Italy and lived in England, hence both. If anything, the Italian flag has more reason for being there - I imagine there's a few managers listed there as Irish and Welsh who've spent most of their lives in England.

According to WP:MOSBIO, the nationality should be "the country of which the person is a citizen or national, or was a citizen when the person became notable." According to List of British football players with dual nationality, he has dual nationality (though that list has no sources). If he really has dual nationality, then I guess that is OK.
