List of New York Mets managers

 * Nominator(s): Mm40 (talk), Blackwatch21 (talk) 

I am nominating this for featured list because I (duh!) think it meets the criteria. I felt it was ready last time, and it seemed on course to pass, but due to apparent miscommunication, some issues went unaddressed. This is the third attempt for the list (the other two were as List of New York Mets managers), so I'm hoping third time's the charm! Mm40 (talk) 02:20, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Again, shouldn't Blackwatch21 get nomination credits for this? He did do approximately half the work. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  02:38, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll ask him if he particularly wants it; it seems like he's done less than half the work, and the only content of his remaining is the list of managers. Mm40 (talk) 03:18, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well he did do some of the prose, like how many managers, and current manager, etc. I just think it'll be rude if an initial contributor does not get credit for half of the work he has done to an article. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  03:30, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * This is the difference between the version after his last edit and the current version. In any case, I've sent a message to Blackwatch telling him that he can add himself if he wants to. Mm40 (talk) 12:03, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Comment Can we standardize the name? It's inconsistent with other manager lists and redundant (repetition of "manager" is quite clumsy). Dabomb87 (talk) 03:28, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I had the name as List of New York Mets managers, but it was moved after I left. How does Management of the New York Mets sound? Mm40 (talk) 12:03, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The correct name should be List of New York Mets managers, it doesn't matter if the general managers are listed. BW21.-- B lack W atch 21  21:06, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The only way we should deviate from the "List of [team] managers" format is if there are owners listed (a la List of Pittsburgh Pirates managers and owners). KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 01:37, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Cautious support – Consensus on the source here and at RSN seems to be against my opinion, so I am willing to bend on it as long as others feel it's okay, though I'm not 100% convinced myself. Everything else appears fine.  Giants2008  ( 17–14 ) 19:29, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:45, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Comment
 * "Johnson is the longest-tenured manager in franchise history, with 1,012 games of service over 7 seasons (1984–1989 and part of 1990)" If you're defining longest tenure by seasons then it looks like Johnson shares the record with Bobby Valentine, if you're defining it by games then the record doesn't need repeating at the end of the third paragraph. --Jpeeling (talk) 22:41, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Removed the end of the third paragraph. Mm40 (talk) 23:06, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Support The lead got cleaned up nicely. Staxringold talkcontribs 04:13, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
