List of The Open Championship venues
Support as nominator, I feel this list meets all the criteria necessary to be a featured list NapHit (talk) 18:38, 28 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose, the article only has a single source which appears to be an external link over an actual source. If its supposed to be a general source, please format as such using the cite web template.  The intro is completely unsourced and needs a little more context. Where is the lowest score information coming from?  There seems to be some possible original research here, due to lack of more specific sourcing of items. Collectonian (talk) 01:45, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I have no idea about the qualifications here so I won't vote, but I presume the information was taken from the main article for The Open Championship (one of the four golf majors, often known as the British Open). Records of this event are kept far and wide.  The external link is to the event's home page which has rather detailed history sections, but the same information could be found in numerous places (such as here, for example).

 * Oppose: First, there's only one source. If, as stated by Carl above, the information can be found in numerous places, then source it on the list before bringing it here.  Second, the third column - a bunch of years - doesn't seem useful to me. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 02:40, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose For basically the same reasons as expressed above. Only one source, and I think the data could be organized much more effectively, perhaps chronologically (fixing the awful list of years), and making that table sortable (preserving basically the same functionality of organizing by venue rather than date).
