I am nominating this for featured list removal because there are many problems with it, including a short and sloppy lead paragraph and a harsh lack of references. The table could probably be improved a little bit as well. – (iMatthew • talk) at 17:45, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As with the others you nominated I don't think the references are an issue because everything currently in the article that needs a reference has one. Numbers of references are not important, its the quality of the references and the fact that they cover all the information that could be disputed that is important. In that this page is mainly just a list of players and statistics I would only expect it to have one reference for 90% of the article and then the lead would have the remaining references. And I do agree that the lead needs a bit of expanding. -Djsasso (talk) 18:30, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove – Criterion 2. The lead is simply too short for FL status now. Also, the lead states the number of players was correct as of early March; that needs to be checked and updated. The Red Wings and Blackhawks player lists are good models for anyone interested in improving the lead. Giants2008 (17-14) 21:36, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist Comment The lead needs to be expanded, the table updated and symbols added to accompany color. If these three things are done, then I think this can be kept. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:57, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • The two-week period has nearly passed and nobody is working on this, so I am switching to "delist". I asked Resolute to look at this article back in January of this year, and he upgraded the lead a little. However, standards have improved since then, and there are still several issues that keep this from being our "best work". Dabomb87 (talk) 16:34, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
