List of Queens Park Rangers F.C. seasons

 * Nominator(s): Miyagawa   (talk)  20:31, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because it is now complete and I believe it meets the FL criteria. I've based this article off the recently promoted List of Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. seasons, although since this is easily my largest table to date. Unusually for these types of season articles it includes the wartime results since I had the results and tables for them (results in the cited book, and tables via RSSSF).

 * Comments. Glad to see that others are reviewing the prose, so I haven't looked at it in detail. Apologies if I'm repeating points already made by others.


 * For competitions that don't have a WP article, might it be worth a footnote saying what each competition was?
 * And the Other competition Results column still sorts alphabetically rather than by Winner/Final/SF etc.
 * Your bright green F* unfinished finals entries are begging for a note explaining why they were unfinished. Struway2 (talk) 08:46, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Hoping to go and access the newspaper archives at the BL tomorrow, which should add a few listings to the other competitions - so I'll sort out the sorting after I've added those. Also hoping to create some stub articles for the competitions that don't have an article currently (created one for the West London League this morning).

So I took a trip to the British Library today and unfortunately the West London Observer isn't one of the papers they've current digitised. So I did some searches on what else they had and turned up one more year's results for the Amateur Cup, which I've added to the table. Also discovered that QPR were in a league called the Southern Football Combination during the same season they first entered the Southern League. Irritatingly though I've just discovered that I copied down the league table from the week before the end of the season and not the final standings. Also typically is that someone uploaded the final standings to the internet in 2010 and unfortunately its gone offline. I think there's a difference between an incomplete table and not knowing a table is incomplete. I know that there is information missing from this table now, especially the West London League results over several years. Therefore I would like to elect to close this nomination. I'll keep working on it and hopefully re-nominate it in a few months once I've tracked down the additional information that I know is out there. Miyagawa  (talk)  20:43, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
