Nashville Xpress

 * Nominator(s): NatureBoyMD (talk) 21:40, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

This article is about a Minor League Baseball team that played two seasons in Nashville, Tennessee, on a temporary basis. It was uprooted from Charlotte, North Carolina, in conjunction with Major League Baseball expansion and played in Nashville until a permanent home could be found. The team shared Herschel Greer Stadium with the Nashville Sounds. While not unheard of, it is rare to find two baseball teams sharing a home ballpark. NatureBoyMD (talk) 21:40, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Support: I reviewed this article a few days ago at the good-article stage, and had my say then. It was easily a good article at the time and, I think, equally deserving of featured status. --Usernameunique (talk) 16:37, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Image review
 * File:NashvilleXpressLogo.png: who is believed to be the copyright holder? Same with File:NashvilleXpressCapLogo.png. And given that we're including two non-free logos rather than just one I'd expect each to have a stronger FUR
 * Presumably BallCorps, LLC, the current owners of the Southern League franchise once known as the Xpress. I've added this to each image's source. Regarding two non-free images, I've added to the "purpose of use" on each image. For what it's worth, it is standard across baseball team articles to include both team and cap logos in the infobox.

 * File:1984_Nashville_Larry_Schmittou.jpg: can you confirm there's no copyright notice anywhere in the program, and that the image is original to the program?
 * I checked when I scanned the image and again just now. Cover-to-cover, there is no copyright notice whatsoever. I don't know how one could prove any photograph to be original to any document. The best assurance I can give is that in my extensive Nashville Sounds collection, this is the only place I find this image. NatureBoyMD (talk) 21:36, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Is any attribution provided in the source? Nikkimaria (talk) 00:59, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
 * None whatsoever—no photographer, studio, date, copyright symbol of any kind, no title page, no copyright page, nothing. NatureBoyMD (talk) 13:20, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
 * File:NashvilleXpressJerseys.png: what is the source used to create this image? Nikkimaria (talk) 21:02, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Various baseball cards and images from programs and newspapers, some of which are cited in the Nashville Xpress section. NatureBoyMD (talk) 21:36, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

 * and the largest metro area population. I'm thinking this might be hyphenated but I'm not sure.
 * I thought so, too, but a few Bing & Google searches turned up non-hyphenated results. NatureBoyMD (talk) 15:01, 5 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Bastien proposed a temporary move to Bayamón, Puerto Rico. I read the source and nowhere does it mention "temporary"
 * Reference added supporting PR as a temporary site. NatureBoyMD (talk) 15:01, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

I believe I performed a "source check" above but I'd encourage another one. Therapyisgood (talk) 03:08, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Coord note
Sorry but this has been open well over a month and dormant for several weeks so I'm going to archive it. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 08:58, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
