List of NK Maribor players

 * Nominator(s): Ratipok (talk) 13:32, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because... I believe I have addressed all the issues and concerns that have been expressed by reviewers during this article's first FLC nomination, nearly a month ago. If there is anything else that needs to be resolved, feel free to write a comment, and I will be happy to fix the problem. Lep pozdrav, Ratipok (talk) 13:32, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Comments. I promised the nominator I'd review this by Wednesday lunchtime or else they could feel free to shout at me, so here's a quick mention of stuff still outstanding from the first nomination. Not quite a full review, but I will return (honest)...


 * Surprised to see playing positions disappeared since the last nomination. Are they really unsourceable?
 * Comment R: Actually they are, for the most part. I cant find sources for about half of the players on the list (mostly those from the Yugoslav period). I know for most of the players, on which position they played, but cant back that up with sources. Unfortunatley, NK Maribor official website only has pure stats about the players and not their positions or at least minor presentations.


 * Support, I think. The redlinks have come down to an approaching-minimal proportion, and are still coming down, so I don't have a problem with that. Unreliable sources have gone, I think, and one internationally-capped player for whom we can't find a reliable source has been removed until and unless. Nominator has been unbelievably co-operative dealing with the matters raised at the first FLC and with the pickiness of this review. I'm not thrilled with the absence of playing positions, but the club website archives lists every goal scored by any given player and every match he played in but not his playing position, and the PrvaLiga website does likewise. Without a Slovenian equivalent of Neil Brown's site, I'd rather not have the positions at all than have them individually ref'd to random bits of newsprint. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 19:33, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Quick comment - last two general references are dead. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:25, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It seems that something is wrong with the website I have used (dont know if its permanent or just temporary). Luckily the glitch affected only nine players/stats (six Bosnian and three Yugoslav internationals) and this will be an easy fix. I will use individual references for those players.

 * Added individual references for each player. Ratipok (talk) 22:14, 21 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment - The inclusion of a column to indicate the number of seasons each player spent at the club is interesting. Not sure if it's necessary, especially given the fact that the player who has spent the most seasons at a club will, most often, be conspicuous as the player who has made the most appearances. This may not be the case with all clubs, nor will it also be the case with Maribor, but in this case it is, which makes me question the worth of this column. Furthermore, I'm not sure I like the inclusion of Rene Krhin or Zlatko Zahovic, since they never played for the club. In fact, both of them had at least one more club before getting anywhere near the pitch for a first-team match. Otherwise, the prose is clearly good, the article lead is certainly comprehensive when it comes to introducing the topic and the list is comprehensive to boot. I didn't understand the inclusion criteria to begin with, but I think I've got it now. The rest of the FL criteria seem to have been met as well, so by my reckoning, as long as you delete Krhin and Zahovic from the list, you can have my support. The seasons column matters little to me, but I must insist about Krhin and Zahovic. – PeeJay 21:42, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello and thank you for your comments. I have removed Krhin and Zahovic from the list (their pics as well). I would have preferred to left the seasons column as it is, but I don't have any problems deleting it, if required. Lep pozdrav, Ratipok (talk) 00:05, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for dealing with that so quickly. I really don't mind if the seasons column stays or goes, but at least you got rid of Krhin and Zahovic. You have my support now. – PeeJay 00:15, 13 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Support I like how the scope of the list if defined. I would prefer though if the intro would also state how many players played at least 100 games, how many players were capped while at the club, and perhaps even how many players scored at least 10 or 50 goals.
