2017 EFL Cup Final

 * ... that Southampton reached the 2017 EFL Cup Final against Manchester United today without conceding a goal? Source: Guardian
 * Reviewed: 2000 Miami Dolphins season
 * Comment: For 26th February (Date of the final), please don't review until after tomorrow as the opponent is yet to be confirmed

5x expanded by The C of E (talk). Self-nominated at 22:24, 25 January 2017 (UTC).


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Expanded within set time, long enough, within policy. Hook is verified and interesting. QPQ done. This is good to go! JAG  UAR   22:55, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I will of course update the hook when the other semi has been played.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 22:58, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Not to be blunt, but this should not have been reviewed until the hook was in its final form and the source could be verified. Also, moving back to main nominations section until that can be done; it is also not up to the nominator to make the move to special occasions. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:52, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg I've taken a more comprehensive look at the review, which was initially completed in three minutes, barely enough time to read the article, much less actually do some real checking of sources and potential close paraphrasing. It's also an incomplete article, clearly running afoul of WP:DYKSG: it's about the Cup Final, yet it only details one of the team's road to the final. Both teams should be included, which is not possible until the second team has been determined. I would suggest to The C of E, the next time there's a similar situation, to hold off nominating the article until the information is available; with the expansion having started on January 25, that could have been as late as February 2.

 * , I have updated the hook and added the Manchester United section to the article so it should be ready for re-reviewing now.  The C of E  God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 00:45, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg New review needed. Per the objection above to the provided review, and the nominator's reply regarding having updated the article, a new review is apparently needed at this time. North America1000 12:05, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Not sure if it would be appropriate for me to review it again, but I've just checked it a second time and it seems good to go. JAG  UAR   22:21, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Nothing wrong with you reviewing it again and giving it the green tick again, its just that last time was a little premature despite it fulfilled all the rules bar one back then.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 22:33, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks for letting me know, I've just triple-checked this anyway and found no problems, so this should be ready now. It is long enough, within policy, and is no longer premature. JAG  UAR   23:37, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
