List of defunct and relocated National Hockey League teams

 * Nominator(s): -- K.Annoyomous   (talk)   20:26, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Ahh, glad to be back on FLC. During April, I noticed how I haven't had an FLC nomination since October, which made me want to make an FL. I believe this list meets WP:FL?, and was why I nominated this. There may be some grammar mistakes, so just point them out or DIY if you like. Thanks! -- K.Annoyomous   (talk)   20:26, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Couple of quick drive-by comments: you have at least two uses of the verb "to defunct", which, in British English at least, does not exist, it should be "to become defunct" - I haven't changed this myself in case it is a legitimate usage in American English. Oh, and the key shows yellow colour and an asterisk for the active teams, but the asterisk is not used in the table -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:51, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I've searched the word defunct online, and looking at most of the websites, they do say "to become defunct", so I fixed the usage, plus I added asterisks in the table. -- K.Annoyomous   (talk)   00:34, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Object . I'm checking from mostly a hockey perspective, and I don't feel the article is complete. I think that possible to write a section about the history of franchise troubles in the NHL. There's more stuff on this in the History of the National Hockey League articles. For example, the Wanderers didn't fold just because there weren't enough players... it was triggered by their arena burning down (and their owner had a history of his arenas burning down, too). The Hamilton Tigers part implies the league responded to a strike by removing the franchise (which wasn't exactly like that). You should look through the series of the articles on NHL history... the 67-92 mentions how St Louis was almost moved to Saskatoon. These are just examples of what could be added: other, broader, ideas would be the money troubles that teams had, commentary on the Original Six era... Finally, there's nothing about recent events (troubles for Phoenix and Atlanta). I think that mentioning them would make the article more comprehensive.   Maxim (talk)  21:50, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * For the Reasons column on the table, I only listed the main reason because it is a table, and I don't think having a prose in a table is good for the table. I believe that the history of franchise troubles should be on the History of organizational changes in the NHL article, since having a huge prose for the history would make the list into a true article. I renamed the column into "Main reason for disbandment/relocation" so that readers can interpret that as there are more reasons for the relocation. Readers can read more about the potential NHL expansions at the Potential NHL expansion article. -- K.Annoyomous   (talk)   22:43, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * That works for me. Just make sure to keep a close eye on the article given this Winnipeg Thrashers speculation.  Maxim (talk)  23:19, 25 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Support – Meets FL standards.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 23:06, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Support. Although if the relocation of the Thrashers isn't going to be added to the table until a decision is taken, note h can presumably be removed. —WFC— 14:54, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
