List of 2008 National Hockey League all-stars
I have recently written and published this list and I believe it meets the featured list criteria. Hello32020 (talk) 14:57, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Is this page even necessary? The 56th National Hockey League All-Star Game page also includes a roster, and that one also includes positions, starters and numbers. A lot of the information in this article just duplicates that one, and I think it would be much more useful if this table was merged back there. -- Scorpion0422 15:43, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe it is notable enough to be a list; you could merge any list that relates to something within another article into it. But I feel this list is just as useful as any other list, featured or not, that relates to another article. Hello32020 (talk) 21:46, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe, but in most cases the list is moved to its own article. In this case, the main article still has the same table, and this one has more information. -- Scorpion0422 06:02, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You could add more information to an article for every list comparable to this and then delete the list. However, this list is still as useful as any other list that could be merged into an article, which is probably at least half of featured lists. Hello32020 (talk) 13:00, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Like I said, there is a difference. There is a List of Stanley Cup champions and a Stanley Cup article. However, the two both have original content, don't overlap and combining the two would make the article too long. In this case, everything said in this article is already at the main one, including a more informative table, which makes me think this one is not necessary at all. Why not merge the two and work on getting it to GA status? -- Scorpion0422 18:42, 22 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Perhaps force a Table of Contents (Help:TOC) as generally I think it makes sense to have one if readers are required to scroll to reach the bottom of the page, to see, say, the references. Gary King ( talk ) 17:34, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Hello32020 (talk) 21:46, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Any navboxes and external links suitable for this page? Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 06:25, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I've added one navbox and external link. Hello32020 (talk) 17:09, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose I am with Scorpion here. I don't feel that this list is necessary. If this list remains separate, then the main article will lose its comprehensiveness.-- Crzycheetah 00:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Remove the overlinking of Teams from Team columns, link the teams the first time they appear in the table. -- Gman 124 talk 00:03, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
