List of Israeli football champions

 * Nominator(s): —Cliftonianthe orangey bit, HonorTheKing (talk) 12:25, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because the raw data was already there before I started working on it, I've done a bit of work on the prose and on clarifying some issues, I've done some polishing and brought an untidy but informative list up to scratch. Now I think it's more or less ready. —Cliftonianthe orangey bit 12:25, 6 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Are "Total titles won by city" and "Total titles won by district" common statistics in sport contexts? Not sure what point theses lists want to make. After all it is a club which wins the title and the club has probably little connection to the city or district it is located in.
 * They are there to demonstrate regional dominance; Tel Aviv is only one city in Israel, and yet far more titles have been won by its clubs than anywhere else. Surely that is worth noting? Also consider the flipside, that certain smaller towns may have had success due to a more involved local fanbase, for example. I disagree very strongly, incidentally, that a club has little connection to where it is located, but that's beside the point here. —Cliftonian<b style="color:#ff3300">the orangey bit</b></i> 23:03, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * With the new mini-intros, I can see the point of having such lists. Just one more question: are there any RS that discuss the reason for the dominance of certain districts/cities? bamse (talk) 13:01, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Not in any of the ones I've been using so far, but I'll have a look to see if I can find anything new. —<i style="text-shadow:#bbbbbb 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em;"><b style="color:#ff3300">Cliftonian</b><b style="color:#ff3300">the orangey bit</b></i> 13:24, 8 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Support. Very good, well organized list. Parutakupiu (talk) 15:28, 7 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I was wondering whether we can arrange the notes in a little more organized manner. — <i style="color:blue;">Legolas</i> ( talk 2 me ) 15:49, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't understand. More organised how? —<i style="text-shadow:#bbbbbb 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em;"><b style="color:#ff3300">Cliftonian</b><b style="color:#ff3300">the orangey bit</b></i> 16:00, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment – Just one from me: in the lead, Maccabi Tel Aviv being the only club never relegated could use a cite.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 22:38, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Support. I like this good list, but I think somebody should revise the palestine issue in it, maybe move that part in a independient article.--Feroang (talk) 03:18, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Glad you like it, about the revise, there is an article about the Palestine League (1931–47), But if you referring the name "Palestine" in it - it is belong there, as it was founded by Eretz Israel FA (now Israel FA) and the PFA in the support of the British, FIFA and its sub-groups recognise it as predecessor of the Israeli league system and part of the champions.

 * The URL of reference 17 is causing it to break. I think there is a way around it, but can't for the life of me remember what it is. Argyle 4 Life  talk  17:28, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Done, it is now working.
