The list was removed by PresN via FACBot (talk) 00:26, 23 May 2024 (UTC) [1].[reply]

Notified: Buc, WP:NFL, WP:WPLISTS

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it fails a number of criteria:

• 1. Prose: the prose is choppy and could probably use a full rewrite.
• 2. Lead: Tom McCloskey should be linked. The lead is pointlessly self-referencing in the last sentence of the first paragraph.
• 3b. Comprehensiveness: primary issue here, the list lacks necessary inline citations in the lead and within the table (the awards especially). There is too much of a reliance on "general references". Some sources appear to either be dead, out of date or unreliable.
• 3c. Accessibility: the list lacks all accessibility features expected of WP:FL today, both in the table, the key and no alt text on the photo.
• 4. Structure: the structure of the table is a bit off. The last section needs the darker gray formatting of the cells. The awards need some sort of acronym definition.

The list was nominated over 15 years ago when standards were quite different. These issues either need to be addressed or the article delisted. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:32, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delist – Per nomination, ping if there are any changes. Idiosincrático (talk) 03:05, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist - lack of suitable citations is my primary concern, but there are other issues too, as detailed in the nomination. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 20:44, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delisting. --PresN 16:43, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notified: WikiProject Cricket, WikiProject IPL (note: the original FL nominator is blocked, so I haven't notified them)

I am nominating this for featured list removal because the version of the article right now is not as good as the 2017 version, and lots of the text is outdated and not supported by sources. In the FL version [3], all the tables had sources for every team, but these have been removed, in violation of WP:VERIFY. This is enough to automatically fail this review in my opinion, as it isn't easily fixable. There are also multiple issues with the lead, including:

1. Text on the formats isn't supported by the source [4], as the source says there were different formats from 2020-2022, whereas the text says there was a pre-2021 and 2022 onwards formats
2. Mumbai Indians have won five titles.[31] Chennai Super Kings have won five titles and Kolkata Knight Riders have won two titles, Gujarat Titans, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals, apart from former team Deccan Chargers, are the other teams to have won the tournament title as of May 2023. Not supported by the sources, which are mostly from 2016. People have updated the number of wins but not the source itself.
3. Altogether, thirteen teams have played in the past ten seasons of the IPL tournament. Out-of-date, as there have been 16 completed seasons (and this would need source update too). That whole paragraph is also way too overdetailed about team histories- the lead is meant to summarise the content of the lists, whereas this provides too much information.
4. The entire lead is too long as per MOS:LEAD. This would require a complete re-write to have a lead that summarises the article, followed by a text summary in another section, followed by the tables themselves

The tables themselves have multiple problems too:

1. The row headings have been removed from all tables, compared to the FL version. This is a MOS:ACCESS issue
2. The "Overall team results" table has been changed so it's now using ridiculous amounts of MOS:COLOUR violations, and has the host countries added, which is unnecessary trivia (since there's only been 4 seasons not hosted entirely in India, and that information isn't pertinent to understanding team results)
3. "Additional team statistics" table is newer than the FL version, and this is unsourced and doesn't actually give useful additional information

As such, this doesn't currently meet the FL criteria, and so should be considered for de-listing unless significant corrections are made. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:46, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph2302, as a reminder, please complete the required notifications and note them here. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:32, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gonzo_fan2007 as I noted, the user who nominated it for FL is indefinitely blocked, so makes no sense to notify them. And I've notified relevant WikiProjects, so I don't believe anyone else is required. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:09, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And no other active editors have made substantial edits to this according to [5]. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:22, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Joseph2302, when I commented the WikiProjects hadn't been notified (or at least the notices weren't added to the top of this page). Everything looks good, appreciate it. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:42, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment one more issue I've found: Player of the tournament column has flags without country names in violation of Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Icons#Accompany flags with country names. Also, there are players listed as Jamaica, Trinidad etc in violation of MOS:SPORTFLAG (they compete(d) internationally for West Indies, not the constituent countries).

• Delist – The main tables were once sourced, but a series of edits in 2021 by Rachit Methwani seemed to remove these sources for no clear reason. Unless someone adds them back, the list fails WP:FLCR #3b. RunningTiger123 (talk) 19:01, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist – per above, ping if someone changes anything. Idiosincrático (talk) 03:03, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist - I made some flag changes, but this is incidental to the main issues as detailed above. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 20:52, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notified: Omg its will run, WP:NFL, WP:CLEVELAND, WP:USA & WP:WPLIST

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it fails a number of criteria:

• 1. Prose: the prose is choppy (While the National Football League (NFL) does not recognize the Browns’ AAFC championships, the Pro Football Hall of Fame does recognize the team’s championships, which is reflected in this list.)
• 2. Lead: the lead appears a little short considering other season lists. There are also some links that need to be added (like Detroit Lions, Pittsburgh Steelers and wild-card round. Just generally needs some clean-up. Could also use a photo in the lead.
• 3b. Comprehensiveness: primary issue here, the list lacks any inline citations in the lead and within the table. Sources lack consistent formatting (dates especially) and there is reliance on "general references". Some sources appear to either be dead, out of date or unreliable.
• 4. Structure: the notes and inline cites need to be split into separate sections.
• Accessibility: the list lacks all accessibility features expected of WP:FL today, both in the table and the legend.

The list was nominated over 15 years ago when standards were quite different. These issues either need to be addressed or the article delisted. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:42, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
