Theoren Fleury

 * Nominator(s): Resolute 02:51, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Well, lets try this again. I previously nominated this article six weeks ago, but it did not pass due to a lack of reviewers. Fleury is one of the more newsworthy and controversial figures in recent hockey history, and I think one of the more entertaining sports personalities, both on and off the field of play. As there were no outstanding issues when that nomination, I have not made any real changes, but do look forward to all new feedback. Cheers! Resolute 02:51, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Comments. No dab links, alt text present and good. One dead external link, to Fleary's Concrete: . Ucucha 02:55, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * lol. I was actually wondering when that link would go dead.  I simply removed it as there was a second reference to support the statement. Resolute 02:58, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Yes, from the article text I could understand why the link would go dead. :) Ucucha 03:02, 11 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Support carried over from last time. I think it's ready. I'll also note that the images and sources were reviewed in the last FAC, with no outstanding issues. -- Andy Walsh  (talk)  03:36, 11 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment HTML fixed; thanks. Please fix the invalid HTML (it breaks internal wikilinks), as noted in the W3C validator report. See Help:Markup validation  for advice. Eubulides (talk) 08:21, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Err, ok. Near as I can tell, most of these errors are the result of terrible formatting on the  template itself, but I'll see what I can do. Resolute 15:05, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think most of them can be fixed with an empty ref parameter for citation. Eubulides (talk) 20:55, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That did it, thanks. Should be clean now. Resolute 23:47, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes and thanks again. Eubulides (talk) 01:02, 12 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Image check: 3 images, all CC-by-SA from Commons with the author (Resolute) listed. All non-infobox images have good captions. -- Pres N  17:59, 11 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Support: I provided an informal peer review of this article a couple of months ago; it was in good shape then, and it's in better shape now. Two minor issues:
 * The lead claims that he was at times the smallest player in the NHL, but that's neither cited in the lead nor repeated in the body.
 * "Described as the "most talented" player ever to play in Great Britain..." Not to be a pedant, but Belfast isn't in Great Britain (though I imagine the Giants played some road games there). Steve Smith (talk) 20:16, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Modified both, should be fine now. Thanks! Resolute 22:06, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Both look good. So, um, I still support. Steve Smith (talk) 22:22, 12 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Support well done, an interesting read, meets FA standards Dincher (talk) 21:59, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Support – Reviewed this article at the first FAC and thought it deserved to be promoted then. I see nothing that would cause me to change my opinion now.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 03:16, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
