List of Plymouth Argyle F.C. seasons

 * Nominator(s): Argyle 4 Life  talk  18:44, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this because I believe that it meets all current FL criteria. It follows the structure established for football season FL's and having gone through further improvement after a Peer review, I think its now ready. Any feedback is much appreciated. Thank you.

 * Support Satisfies criteria. I do have one general comment on the apparently inconsistent grammar of football clubs which comes up regularly and was raised here by Giants2008, i.e. the application of the British-English discretionary plural. Where "the club" refers to the entity called Plymouth Argyle Football Club, it would normally take a singular verb: so "Plymouth Argyle Football Club is an English association football club..." and "the club was founded in 1886" is grammatically correct in British English. Where it refers to the team or the players, it would normally, and grammatically, take the plural. It comes naturally to the BritEng writer, which is probably why the nominator couldn't see anything wrong when Giants raised the question. (I tend to work round it on Wikipedia by only using the words "the club" when I mean the entity or when the verb takes the same form in singular and plural.) To the British ear, there's no inconsistency, just a WP:ENGVAR difference, and the change to "PAFC are an English association football club" really grates. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:23, 8 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment There are a couple of dead links; please check the toolbox. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:28, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I was hoping the page in question would come back, but its been nearly a month so it doesn't look likely right now. I've removed one dead link in specific references and replaced the one in general references with an archived version which goes up to the 2007–08 season. Cheers.
