List of Buffalo Sabres players[edit]

Self-nom. Based on other lists of hockey players which have been promoted (List of New Jersey Devils players, List of Colorado Avalanche players, List of Calgary Flames players), this list is useful, comprehensive, factually accurate, stable, uncontroversial and well-constructed.

  • Comment Is this the second nomination for this list or was that another Sabres list?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 21:51, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Lots of images, which is always good, plenty of references, which never hurts, and it has no redlinks. Feel slighted that you didn't mention the most recent FL ice hockey list, of the San Jose Sharks, but I'll assume you were not aware it passed yet. Good show.

  • Comment I have not been looking closely at sports team lists. Is it common to have so many images of players in other uniforms. I am especially pained to see Hasek in a Red Wings uni.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 20:58, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This came up when List of Colorado Avlanche players was nominated. Esentially, it was thought that it is better to have images of players not in the uniforms of the listed team rather than have no images at all. Of course once an appropriate image were to be made available, that can always change. I know that personally when working on team lists, I have tried to only include images showing the proper uniform, but have made exceptions as necessary.

So getting back to Hasek, did you make the decision that it is less painful to see him in a Red Wings uniform than the overhead of him in the proper uniform on the Hull goal?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 22:48, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, I actually had forgotten that picture is on Wikipedia. Looking at Hasek's page, though, I think it will change the photo on the list to the one of him with the Vezina and Hart Trophies. It fits better with the caption and it doesn't show him in the "wrong" uniform. Skudrafan1 (talk) 02:06, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: I like the images too, which somebody else stated above. Anyhow, I see no reason to make this a FL, well sourced and looking good. - Rjd0060 (talk) 15:41, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose for now, I think the lead could be expanded, maybe mentioning some of the great players from each position and info about the franchise. Right now the intro really doesn't say anything about the players, all it says is info about the list, how its constructed, etc. The lead should "summarize the scope of the list and prepare the reader for the higher level of detail in sections subsequent to the lead." Other than that the list looks great, and I will be glad to support when the lead is expanded.

Valid point. I will attempt to get to that at some point within the next 24 hours. Skudrafan1 (talk) 05:15, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have added an introductory section to the list which I feel suffices. Let me know if you disagree. :) Skudrafan1 (talk) 03:01, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Much better now. Thanks!
