List of Queens Park Rangers F.C. seasons

 * Nominator(s): Miyagawa (talk) 20:10, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

An FLC six years in the making! I initially listed this in 2012, but withdrew it when I realised that there was the probability that the initial amateur years section was incomplete. Finally, after all this time, I managed to get a hold of the original 19th century sources today thanks to the British Library's version of the British Newspaper Archive. So with that in mind, I can say for certain that where the table doesn't list a league/cup competition in the 1800's, it means that QPR were not in a league that season. They played a lot (a lot!) of friendlies and didn't compete in a league between 1893 and 1896. The results from 1892/93 West London League is interesting, as I didn't find a final league table even in the newspaper which founded the league. The best I got was the same as the previous cite - a text listing of the points for each team in the order of positions. The West London Observer Cup and the West London Challenge Cup were run separately (both by the West London Observer newspaper) in the initial 1890/91 season, but then only the West London Observer Football Challenge Cup was run in the following years. There wasn't any details on the scorers for any of the amateur years (only very occasional match reports in fact). Miyagawa (talk) 20:10, 10 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment - the standard format for referring to seasons is 19XX-YY, which I note you even use in the top paragraph above, yet the article consistently uses 19XX-19YY. Any reason for this? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:52, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I was advised to update it by the previous commentator per the 2016 changes to MOS:DATERANGE. Miyagawa (talk) 19:36, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I disagree completely with that - sporting seasons are not simple date ranges, there is a very specific style by which they are referred -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:10, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok, I've switched the date formats back to how they were originally. Miyagawa (talk) 10:22, 6 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Support – concerns addressed. Kosack (talk) 14:17, 21 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Support – My few issues have been explained or addressed adequately, and I'm confident that this meets FL standards. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 22:03, 19 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Support after trying to find something to comment on, I've got nothing. Ref 11 throws a CS1 error, with a accessdate when there's no URL.  There... something. . Courcelles (talk) 19:37, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Source review passed- fixed that CS1 error. Promoting. -- Pres N  16:24, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
