I'm nominating this for Featured List because it's an ideally done sports roster; it contains all valuable information about the players, it is well organized, and is comprehensive. matt91486 16:58, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comment: It's virtually impossible to place specific citations. on a list like this, but I've included a references section at the bottom in which information can easily be double checked. matt91486 17:01, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The references need to be full citations, e.g. using {{cite web}}. The color of the table headers is quite ugly. Also, IMO, the list is short enough that it doesn't need to be split up by letter; one big table would have the benefit of sorting. Toohool 18:34, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The colors chosen aren't arbitrary; they are the teams' colors. I do understand your point about the length not necessarily warranting being sorted by letter at this age, but the team has only been in existence a few seasons at this point. As a template for other rosters, it would be difficult to have some broken up and some not. As for citations, I just don't know what to do about that; the information is not cited from one specific article, it changes and is on going, and the pages themselves aren't static. I'm willing to be flexible with that, but given the nature of the information, I'm not sure what the best way to go about it is. matt91486 20:14, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There is just one general reference where one can find proof of everything that is in this list; therefore, there is no need for inline citations, yet. There are two things that this list is lacking right now: a lead with inline citations and an image. --Crzycheetah 02:09, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose
    • Lead needs proper beefing up.
    • Why could you not use the more universal "List of Charlotte Bobcats players"? I personally expected a special "all-times best" selection, but then I'm hardly familiar with sports, much less basketball.
    • I think the split by letters is not necessary. There aren't really enough members for now to warrant it, and longer lists don't do it either.
      • If you keep the split, at least ensure all tables align together.
    • The color for the headers are tacky, and not too legible, i think they can reasonably go
