- Nominator(s): Harrias talk 13:13, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ayrton Senna doesn't have the most Grand Prix wins; that accolade goes to Michael Schumacher. But Senna, perhaps due to the manner and timing of his death, is revered as one of the best Formula One drivers of all time. Each time a driver passes his wins total, as Vettel and Hamilton have done recently, it is considered a significant milestone. I put off nominating this list for a while, as I had concerns about stability, as I knew that the WikiProject weren't widely in favour. However, it has since survived an AfD, and so I am happy to now list it here. As always, all comments, thoughts and suggestions welcome. Harrias talk 13:13, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Maybe mention the rivalry with Prost? Nergaal (talk) 17:07, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comments I have no problem with this list meeting 3b or being notable, as Harrias states, when Vettel and Hamilton passed Senna's total is widely covered in the mainstream media.
- "He entered Formula One in 1984 with the Toleman team, but after one season, he bought out his contract and moved to Lotus." ref?
- It's there in Ref 1. "Feeling Toleman couldn't match his ambitions though; Senna bought out his contract and moved to Lotus in 1985" Cowlibob (talk) 22:17, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- "McLaren. With McLaren..." not great having McLaren twice in quick succession. Perhaps Senna would win all three of his world championships...with the team?
- "He wanted to move to Williams after 1992, but was prevented from doing so by a clause in Alain Prost's contract." ref?
- "He did make the move for 1994,..." -> He moved to Williams in 1994,..."
- You need to add a symbol to go with the colour in the table for accessibility purposes
- Maybe the Race column should be Grand Prix, seeing as that is what they — Preceding unsigned comment added by NapHit (talk • contribs)
- Key needs to explain why 1988, 1990 & 1991 are in yellow. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:51, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Review by Cowlibob
- "is considered by many" perhaps "some" would be a more neutral word here
- "21 April 1985" no need to the repeat the year as we already know it was in 1985.
- "In 1988, " reword needed to avoid saying 1988 twice in short succession.
- For the references, is it possible to have more a diverse set of sources as the vast majority are cited to ESPN F1?
- Less shouting in the references. AUTOSPORT should be Autosport, F1PULSE should be F1 Pulse
- What makes F1 Pulse, speedcafe, Formula One Art & Genius, StatsF1 reliable sources?
- Need info in the key that 1988, 1990, 1991 are highlighted in yellow because those were seasons he was world champion.
That's a quick run-through. Cowlibob (talk) 22:17, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@FLC director and delegates: The list nominator has indicated that currently they are not able to continue the nomination. It's been nearly a month since last comments. Perhaps it's time to put this one on ice for now. [[2]] Cowlibob (talk) 21:24, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, feel free. I'm not going to get to this now unfortunately. Harrias talk 07:57, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
