List of New England Patriots starting quarterbacks

 * Nominator(s):  Sports guy17  ( T •  C ) 21:33, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I worked quite hard to get this one to where it needs to be in terms of style, content, and comprehensiveness. The goal was to get it comparable to List of Minnesota Vikings starting quarterbacks, which I believe is the only FL of the kind. The statistics are relatively stable on there except for those of active quarterbacks, which change once a week during football season. Beyond that it is very stable.

 * Support – All of my concerns have been addressed. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 01:02, 10 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Ensure all tables meet MOS:ACCESS.
 * I am having an issue figuring out how to reconfigure the big table with all the statistics so that it is accessible. Any ideas on how to work it? I'm none too familiar with tables and how to make them accessible. Thanks,  Sports guy17  ( T •  C ) 02:49, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I've done the col scopes, and one row, you can do the rest. Don't forget to do ACCESS on all tables, including the key. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:56, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Comments from Harrias  talk
 * For those not familiar with American football, the lead is a bit confusing; it says they play in the American Football Conference, but then it says that they joined the National Football League. It isn't mentioned that the AFC is part of the NFL.
 * The bit in brackets about Foxboro Stadium being demolished and turned into a parking lot is completely unnecessary for this list.
 * What exactly is a starting quarterback? I can't see that the article ever tells me?
 * Sorry, I've just seen that this is in a note. Given how important it is to the article, I think this needs to be made clear in the main body of the article.
 * "the team finished with an 11–5 record" – this notation needs explanation, it isn't common in Europe.
 * Use the accessible † to create † rather than †. Harrias  talk 21:15, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Explain what the numbers in brackets mean in the Postseason table.
 * Jargon: what are Passing touchdowns, Interceptions thrown, Quarterback rating, Rushes, Rushing touchdowns?
 * Screen-readers don't always inform the user of italics and bold text, so if you are using these to show something (such as active players in a table, it needs another accessible label.
 * The accessdate for Tom Brady's stats is March 8, 2015, but presumably they have been updated more recently than that? Harrias  talk 21:15, 20 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Director note – The nominator hasn't edited in a couple of weeks, and there is a stack of unresolved comments by TRM and Harrias. If we don't see some activity soon, this FLC will need to be archived as unsuccessful (preferably by a delegate since I supported the list before the more recent comments) Giants2008  ( Talk ) 16:23, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the wait, I will get to it as soon as I can, I'm a bit bogged down IRL at the moment.  Sports guy17  ( T •  C ) 01:36, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, with it being final exams season, I just do not have the time of day to make all the above changes in a reasonable amount of time, so it is perfectly fine to archive/close this if that is what's best. I'll try to get to some of the suggested revisions once I'm through exams, but for now, I just am unable to manage it all.  Sports guy17  ( T •  C ) 21:36, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
