Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/List of Indian Premier League captains/archive1

The following is an archived discussion of a featured list nomination. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the article's talk page or in Wikipedia talk:Featured list candidates. No further edits should be made to this page.

Notified: WP Cricket, WP IPL, Vensatry & Sahara4u (both involved in FL promotion comments), Razr Nation (promoted this to FL in 2013). Note, the nominator of this to FL is indef blocked, so not notified them.

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it fails many of the Wikipedia:Featured list criteria, particularly criteria 1, 2 and 3. The lead text has not been significantly updated since it became a FL in 2013, apart from the addition of mostly unsourced text that also includes random stats and trivia. In addition, the lead and table list captains by titles won, but the main stats source [2] does not have the titles mentioned. In the table, apart from the titles being unsourced, the use of unexplained blue background text, I presume to list current IPL captains as of 2024, violates MOS:COLOUR as it is the sole way of identifying these. It is also not needed, but if colour is kept, it needs to be added to the key section and also use a symbol as per the MOS. Sourcing of this article is also pretty weak in general, since most of the lead text is sourced just to the database stats table. All in all, nowhere near the current FL criteria.

Support for removal. I noticed that most of the information is unsourced and needed to be updated with reliable and independent sources. If It get improved in due date than at that time, I will change my comment. Best Regards! Fade258 (talk) 13:44, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Joseph2302, @Fade258, I've realized now that the list has been updated by @Magentic Manifestations (who I wish would have commented as such here). Please let me know if your concerns have been addressed or you'd still like the article to be delisted. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:48, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Joseph2302, @Fade258: Could you state whether @Magentic Manifestations has addressed all of your concerns? Hey man im josh (talk) 16:16, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ping. There is only 1072 characters of prose text (excluding text in tables), this is insufficient for a featured list, as it still fails points 2+3 of the Wikipedia:Featured list criteria. So I still support removal of FL status. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:39, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Magentic Manifestations: Do you have any interest in continuing to improve this list's lead any further? It's fine if not, just trying to wrap up some old nominations. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:16, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, Sorry for the late reply due to busy in my real life. Thank you for the ping Josh. I feel that my concerns was addressed but there isn't sufficient prose for maintaining it at featured list. Best Regards! Fade258 (talk) 14:08, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Magentic Manifestations, hate to be a bother, but wanted to ping one last time just in case you're still interested in this article and stopping it from being demoted. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:13, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Concerns have gone unaddressed for a while now and there's been more than adequate time to address them. As such, delisting. Hey man im josh (talk)

Closing note: This candidate has been delisted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FLC/ar, and leave the {{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:03, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
