Nominator(s): TheStrikeΣagle 10:39, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I think it meets all the criteria for FL TheStrikeΣagle 10:39, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for now – Nominator is not a significant contributor to the list. He has performed just a single edit. It also appears that he hasn't consulted the regular editor so far. —Vensatry (Ping me) 12:33, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify, I was only the one who asked Strike if he feels that the list meets the criteria. I can't nominate because I already have 3 nominations. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 12:48, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The parent article seems too small even with the inclusion of present squad, former players, player salaries, etc., Don't you think it violates the 3b criterion. —Vensatry (Ping me) 13:00, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so. The prose might be a little low, but there is a lot of material in the main article. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 13:08, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comment - I think it's fine against 3b, but I am concerned that the article is effectively an orphan, the only place it's linked is in the navbox at the bottom of another one of these list articles. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:21, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comment – MOS:FLAG suggests that flags should only be used in tables with the country name attached to them. For example, at this size, it is not immediately obvious whether Bracewell is an Australian or a New Zealander. Personally, I'm not convinced that the player's nationality is relevant to this table anyway, as the players are representing a domestic team, not their country. Also, for sportsmen, the flag should representing sporting nationality so if you are including them, Andre Russell's should be West Indies, not Jamaica.

Comments –
  • Minor, but a comma would be nice after Deccan Chargers in the second paragraph. done
  • Also, I wish the repetition in "His score of 119, scored..." could be fixed by changing one of the "score"s. done
  • "but only the records of their games for the DD are given." Don't think the second "the" should be there, especially as it's not used in other similar cases earlier. done
  • Not sure the photo gallery at the start of the Players section is helpful. Usually we discourage galleries at FLC or FAC.
  • There are many FLs with such galleries, and they provide statistics which are helpful. Also they have alt text, so including them doesn't costs much. :)
  • Something appears off in the table in Rajat Bhatia's bowling average column. done
  • Again minor, but the semi-colon in footnote 1 could just be a comma instead. done
  • I don't do this often, but I'd recommend having reference 4 archived as soon as can be done. The AFP links from Google go dead very quickly, and archiving it now will save the trouble of finding a replacement later. This isn't really a requirement for FL status, just some advice to prevent future difficulties. Giants2008 (Talk) 00:28, 9 August 2012 (UTC) done Changed it to Yahoo! link.[reply]

Oppose needs copyedit.
  • "one of the participating team of the" teams. In fact, "one of the teams participating in the ..." would be better still.
  • "They played ..." vs "DD has reached ..." plural vs singular. Be consistent.
  • thrice -> three times.
  • " In total, 54 players have appeared in Twenty20 cricket for DD" - do DD play any other form of cricket than T20?
  • "69 since his first match in 2008." -> perhaps "69 since his debut for the franchise in 2008"?
  • "aggregating 2013 runs" reads odd. Scoring would be better.
  • "and Kevin Pietersen has scored" -> have scored.
  • Consider linking "run".
  • "and is listed alphabetically" initially perhaps, but it's sortable.
  • Don't like that gallery at all, why not just place them down the right-hand side of the table?
  • And a caption with "has balled the" really proves the need for a copyedit.
  • Morne Morkel has a diacritic missing.
  • As does Moines.
  • No need for a No. column when it's meaningless, just sort alphabetically by name.
  • "T20I captains" are you sure these are T20I?!
  • You should add a "accurate as of" note since the Champions League is in a couple of months...

  • "scoring 2013 runs" would change to 2,013 runs, just so no thinks it refers to the year
  • "seventeen runs" 17 should really be in digits for consistently with other figures, especially as we have 13 in digits
  • Think Inn should come under Batting in the table and Balls under Bowling as well, ca should also be under Fielding
  • Would move the IPL portal banner as it obscuring an edit button

  • Link playoff
  • done
  • After the first occurrence, you've entirely used DD for "Delhi Daredevils". Why the players table caption alone reads "Delhi Daredevils cricketers". Be consistent
  • done
  • Any reason for cite killing ref #3. I think you should go for it only when more than three different (types) sources are used
  • How is that "cite killing"?
  • I said no need to cite kill that. Go for the normal method —Vensatry (Ping me) 07:58, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • done
  • When sorting the batting average by ascending order, dashes should occupy the bottom of the table
  • Dashes should come at last. Its a general practice.
  • done
  • Any special reason for including Pathan's image. Also the text in the caption "next to Morkel who has bowled one ball more" is not really required as it adds little encyclopedic value
  • done
  • The batting averages of Doug Bracewell and Roelof van der Merwe are statistically better than KP's. So its better to add a note which defines the minimum criteria (like balls faced or runs scored) like what you did for bowling average
  • No, because batting average doesn't apply to Bracewell and Merwe.
  • done

    • "Sehwag is DD's leading run-scorer, scoring 2,013 runs.[8] " - perhaps change to active: The leading run-scorer of DD is Sewag, who scored 2,013 runs." to avoid the odd "run - scorer - scored - runs"
    • "which is the highest score by a DD batsman" - confusing; you stated that he scored 2,013; perhaps you mean the highest score in one game?
    • "while he has also made the highest number of stumpings: 13.[14]" - while also making the...
    • "The first list includes all players who have played at least one match" - should this be "in at least"?
