List of birds of Cuba[edit]

Featured list removal candidates/List of birds of Cuba/archive1

Notified: User:Yomangani, WikiProject Birds

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it has no inline references. Snek01 (talk) 21:22, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's probably the least of its problems. With its two references is there really any problem with ascertaining where the information came from? Inline citations where appropriate, likely to be challenged, blah blah. Yomangani ^talk 23:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delist ~~Comment~~ The information in the body of the article is covered by the general references given at the bottom of the article, so inline citations would probably be redundant. That said, what makes those two sources reliable? Also, the lead needs to be beefed up a bit (have a look at recently promoted bird lists). Dabomb87 (talk) 23:40, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Changed to delist, no attempt made to address my comments. Dabomb87 (talk) 18:32, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Dabomb's comments above still remain unanswered. The lead is really in a poor state right now.--Cheetah (talk) 01:33, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm leaning towards delist unless someone can convince me of the reliability of the sources. Everything else, like the skinny lead, can be addressed fairly easily without the need for delisting, but reliability of sources is a pretty fundamental issue.

Delist, per comment by User:HJ Mitchell above. --Snek01 (talk) 00:37, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delist. The first source might be okay if we can find anything noting it (I'll take a look) but that second source to me does not look reliable. 50% doesn't cut it. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 00:38, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
