List of Walter A. Brown Trophy winners
previous FLC (15:45, 16 August 2008) It previously failed because of a lack of comments, and I still believe it meets the criteria. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie  » 03:15, 15 September 2008 (UTC) A couple of Comments REZTER  TALK &oslash;  10:46, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * What was it called before it was renamed in 1964?
 * I don't think it even had an "official" name until 1964.
 * The intro seems a little short, couldn't you expand it like List of Heisman Trophy winners. Expanding on it's history.
 * Expanded.  jj137  (  talk )  22:45, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

 * New trophy design doesn't need to be linked in the lead and the footnotes.
 * I removed the link from the footnotes.  <font color="#008040">jj137  <font color="#008040">(  talk <font color="#008040">)  03:17, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

 * What about sorting? Colspans would need to be removed for that to happen.
 * Sorry, I guess I don't really see how sorting would help. Could you explain a bit? Thanks.  <font color="#008040">jj137  <font color="#008040">(  talk <font color="#008040">)  03:25, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

 * "from 1946–49" - never keen on this in prose - why not just "from 1946 to 1949"?

 * Hmm odd - " of each NBA season from 1947 to 1977. " - but the comment above discussed the BAA being from 1946 to 1949... so what happened in 1946?

 * "next championship team after the following finals" - not good English - I know what you're saying but currently it sort of says "the next one the following time" which is awkward.

 * "The trophy was renamed in 1984 to honor former NBA commissioner Larry O'Brien.[3][4][5][6] " - four citations for this one claim

 * Hang on - this list finishes in 1977 but the renaming took place in 1984 - what's the deal? New design but same name so surely this list needs those winners too?

 * And it wasn't named after him until 1964...
 * Nothing to change there I think, as I don't think it even had an official name until 1964.  <font color="#008040">jj137  <font color="#008040">(  talk <font color="#008040">)  22:44, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

 * The title suggests it is an article about the Walter A. Brown Trophy, not simply a list of winners. Could you call this List of Walter A. Brown Trophy winners or something similar, and redirect? Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 06:02, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
