List of FA Trophy winners[edit]

I am listing this list for Featured List status as I feel it meets all the criteria, please feel free to agree, disagree, or chastise me for excessive use of the word "list" :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:53, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

There should be way more categories that can fit into this article.
As a non-educated person about association football, you should tell the readers what a replay is in association football.

I have both explained and wikilinked replay, and added a couple more categories...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:01, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Can you put dashes (or something else) in the empty boxes (eg, Last final won and others), so they auto sort to the bottom instead of the top with the first click.

Could you add a little on what they actually win? I know the info is in the main article, but there is space here, and it saves on clicking. Other than that, looks good, so i support Yobmod (talk) 15:10, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done ~~that~~ both -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Ha, i was still writing! Yobmod (talk) 15:15, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As per the Peer Review, I'm afraid that I still think this information should be the basis of the main FA Trophy article rather than span off into a separate two-table article. It's certainly more important and relevant to the main article than some of the stuff in there (e.g. venues, sponsorship). Even if this succeeds as a FLC, I think it's imperative that the main final results table goes back in the FA Trophy article. Other than that, it's misnamed - should be List of FA Trophy finals as the runners-up have equal prominence to the winners, and I'd get rid of the colour shading for extra time etc. - fchd (talk) 18:35, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair enough, obviously your points can't really be actioned within the scope of an FLC as I would normally look to do, as you're essentially asking for the article to be merged into another article, but I'll see what other people think and will accept the majority view. Out of interest, do you feel that existing FLs like List of FA Cup winners and List of UEFA Cup winners, the precedent for which I felt I was following with this article, should be merged back into their parent articles and/or re-named? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:01, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - This list meets the criteria set out and as other lists stated above have been awarded FL status i see no reason why this one shouldnt. The problem is with the FA trophy page itself needing more detail rather than this list being on another page. Venues, sponsorship and other similiar things are information some people seek to know and belong on that page. The name also seems fine to me, a list shouldnt be condemned because it seeks to provide the reader with as much information as possible. BritishWatcher (talk) 01:21, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
