Nominator(s): --evrik ^(talk) 20:05, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because it is a unique list that meets the criteria. --evrik ^(talk) 20:05, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Oppose from Harrias

Hi evrik. I don't know if this is your first nomination here: I'm going to assume it is. Please try and follow the instructions; you placed the nomination in the wrong place in the queue, and the reasons for nominating requests "PLEASE try and say something more interesting than "... because I think it meets the criteria."

Anyway, onto the list. I will say straight up that I don't think this is of the required quality for Featured list, and I don't think it is going to be worth reviewers time in providing a detailed review in this place. I will give some summary points to explain why.

• The lead does not adequately summarise the list.
• There is no explanation of the "Council number": I assume the gaps are because some no longer exist?
• The table does not meet the requirements of MOS:ACCESS, as set out in MOS:DTT: it needs row and column headers.
• The references omit a lot of details, falling short of the level we expect in a Featured list.
• At a quick glance, all the sources used are WP:PRIMARY sources; WP:V, one of Wikipedia's core policies, requires content to be sourced to independent, third-party sources.

Sorry to be harsh, but I would recommend withdrawing this nomination. Harrias ^talk 20:17, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

• • No worries. This actually gives me an idea on what to work on. I withdraw the request. --evrik ^(talk) 21:07, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
    • @WP:FLC director and delegates: user withdraws nomination. Harrias ^talk 06:54, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

• Closing note: This candidate has been withdrawn, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FLC/ar, and leave the {{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 11:04, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
