League Championship Series Most Valuable Player Award

 * Nominator(s): KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 01:21, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it to meet all of the criteria. This is the newest and latest article in the future baseball awards featured topic, created in response to recent changes in that topic's inclusion criteria. A couple of things that I want to pre-address:
 * The format of this list is borrowed, in part, from List of Philadelphia Phillies no-hitters. The reason that I did not use statistical abbreviations in the table is because of the format I chose. It looks much cleaner with statistics written out rather than having to constantly refer back to a key for the name of a statistic that the casual reader may not know.
 * The names of the statistics themselves are not overlinked. MOS:LINK states that linking only the first occurrence of a term "is a rule of thumb that has many exceptions, including... tables, in which each row should be able to stand on its own." Additionally, this table is sortable, further necessitating this sort of link density.
 * Criterion 6 shouldn't be a concern here; this was built in my userspace and, as with a lot of the other lists I nominate, comes to life ready to bear the brunt of the FL process (I hope). I say this only because I've seen several nominations over the past few days where this concern was raised. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 01:30, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Most if not all of the facts given in the lead without inline citations are covered by the general reference. If you happen to see something that's got an outstanding need for an additional citation, please let me know and I'll try to scrounge one.

Please let me know if you see anything else that needs to be corrected. Concerns will be promptly addressed. Cheers! KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 01:21, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Support – Yet another high-quality baseball awards list.  Giants2008  ( 17–14 ) 19:40, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Amazing work KV5, you do the Baseball Wikiproject proud. My only issue was that I only saw 3 years marked for WS MVP winners but you said 4 in the lead, but I saw Stargell's wasn't colored to I went ahead and did that. Staxringold talkcontribs 21:39, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Support Comments  from
 * I made a few tweaks to the lead; hope they look OK.
 * Most looked fine; I did replace "currently" which was removed; the LCS hasn't always followed the Division Series. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 01:35, 14 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Who decides who gets the award?
 * I have no idea; it's been incredibly hard to find information about this award aside from "who won". KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 01:35, 14 September 2009 (UTC)


 * "The current LCS winners are the" "current" as of which season? Dabomb87 (talk) 01:09, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed to "2008 winners were". Done. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 01:35, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:09, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
