List of Detroit Red Wings head coaches
Self-Nomination It looks like this is ready for FLC. It's well written, and the lead and the table seem to be well referenced. It meets or so I think... all criteria. « Milk's Favorite Cookie  ( talk  / contribs ) 22:39, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments:
 * Asterisks and table color are both used to show Hall of Fame induction - I suggest lose the asterisks. WP:Colors claims there is a reason for this. Rmhermen (talk) 22:40, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Jack Adams is not shown in the table as having ever coached the team while it was named the Red Wings. He should probably have two entries - one in each section of the table. The first coach shown under the heading Red Wings is #4 Tommy Ivan. It is only from reading the lead carefully that we realize that the first Red Wings coach was, in fact, Adams. The table itself carries no indication of what year the team name change occurred or that Adams continued coaching through it. Rmhermen (talk) 22:40, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments The Achievements section seems rather arbitrary. Example would include the mentions of career playing achievements of Pronovost and Park, which has no bearing on their coaching abilities.
 * This is especially true of Park, who spent the vast majority of his career with teams other than Detroit. Nearly all his achievements were done with other teams.
 * In regards to this, there is nothing mentioned under Ted Lindsay. He won the Stanley Cup 4 times playing for the Wings, led the leage in scoring once, and was named to the NHL All-Star team 9 times. None of this is mentioned.
 * I'd suggest either add this, or more appropriately, make the Achievements section coaching-specific. Kaiser matias (talk) 04:29, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment: Good job on the article, although I have to point out something - there is one other NHL coaches list that is FL, List of New Jersey Devils head coaches. However, the Devils list is in a completely different format from this one, with a slightly shorter intro and extra information (such as playoff records) that could be pertinent to this list. I worry that if this became an FL, we would have two different styles for NHL coach lists, instead of having one unified style for the whole set of team coach lists. Just a thought.

 * I made an edit by replacing legend2 with colorbox. Other than that I see nothing else to remark on. Support . Matthewedwards (talk· contribs· count· email) 07:14, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, this format is totally different to other FL or FLC. (See List of New Jersey Devils head coaches or List of Pittsburgh Steelers head coaches. As such I have stricken my support and changing to oppose. Matthewedwards (talk· contribs· count· email) 07:16, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
