List of Slipknot concert tours

 * Nominator(s): Mephiston999 (talk) 00:52, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because it now meets FL criteria and all major issues from the previous nomination have now been fixed and it was very close to passing in the previous nomination with many users Supporting.Mephiston999 (talk) 00:52, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Is this a joke? There were three opposes and only one vote for support. Many to you means yourself plus a vote? Plus, the list still has stupid formatting which I was planning on fixing over the weekend (surprisingly you nominated this FLC 10 mins or so after that comment). Just to give an example, "supporting tours" is a very inappropriate name as it has other tours that are not part of the world ones also, and instead, doesn't even mention all the actual tours "supporting" the world tours. I suggest quick fail/withdrawn for the sake of the article. Nergaal (talk) 01:21, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Correction - 2 Supports by Mephiston himself and some dude called Terrance and Phillip, who did not explain any reasoning for supporting. Afro  ( Its More Than a Feeling ) - Afkatk 03:07, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Constructive comments are generally preferred. bring up clear issues and they shall be addressed.Mephiston999 (talk) 03:49, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Afro: that is what I said: a single vote (i.e. no reasoning) and the Mephisto vote doesn't count since he is the one saying "many users" supported. Mephisto: this is constructive, as not rushing (i.e. I said I will take it over the weekend) helps actual reviewers on polishing not on not bothering with reviewing. And speaking citing instructions, you should probably see some more developed instructions at FAC where it says "If the article is archived, and not promoted, the nominator may not nominate any article for 2 weeks unless given leave to do so by a delegate; if such an article is nominated without asking for leave, a delegate will decide whether to remove it".

 * Have the other significant contributors been consulted? FYI, these are the changes since the previous FLC closed. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:49, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The list has a "todo" template on the talkpage which actually describes several problems with this article (see below), yet it is nominated for FL. Also, most of those changes since the previous FLC were done by me, not by a nominator hurrying to fix to issues. Nergaal (talk) 16:15, 12 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Image looks good. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 01:38, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

This list has less than 10 items - per 3b because this "can reasonably be included as part of a related article." NThomas (talk) 16:31, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose Comment:
 * I don't see how it doesn't meet the requirements for stand-alone list. It is not a content fork, does not largely recreate material from another article, and could not reasonably be included as part of a related article. Furthermore, having less than 10 items doesn't mean anything. The list gives enough information, and also, no one can help the fact that there are less than 10 tours by Slipknot.

 * I think this is not FL yet for other reasons. But the items number I don't think it is right: if you check more closely, the three world tours actually form a list of 20 or so entries; they could be expanded into distinct entries but I think this looks better. Nergaal (talk) 17:20, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * If you count the others, then I withdraw my oppose vote. NThomas (talk) 02:26, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
