List of first overall WNBA draft picks

 * Nominator(s): Pink Fae (talk) 17:25, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because it is similar to the featured list NBA first overall draft pick, it has an engaging lead, and is easy to navigate. Pink Fae (talk) 17:25, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Comment hello, and sorry that it's taken two months for someone to at least acknowledge your nomination! I noticed that you're editing infrequently. Are you still interested in pursuing this nomination? If so I'll gladly add a review in the next few days. Best wishes, The Rambling Man (talk) 22:29, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes,, I still am interested in pursuing this nomination. I don't edit a lot, but I do from time to time. :) Pink Fae (talk) 14:49, 11 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Comments from Grondemar

Sorry it's taken so long for anyone to post a substantive review! I've been meaning to review this list for a couple of weeks now. Here's a list of initial concerns but I may have more as I dig further into the list:


 * Is it possible to add more images? I know there are free images available for at least the UConn alumna.
 * I'd suggest spelling out the names of the linked countries, since not everyone will immediately recognize all of the abbreviations and flags.
 * I suggest changing the column order to put Position before Nationality, since Nationality and Former Team are more-closely related.
 * I recommend adding more "meat" to the lead. Right now you have two one-sentence paragraphs.  Maybe combine the second and third paragraph and add some information on the Elite portion of the 1997 draft to the first paragraph?  You might want to look at the lead for List of first overall NBA draft picks for ideas on additional types of information to include.
 * The two tables in the Key need to be updated for accessibility; see MOS:DTAB.

I'll expand on the above when I get the chance, hopefully this week. –Grondemar 04:18, 19 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment – The nominator hasn't edited since December 19, and none of Grondemar's comments have been addressed in any way over the last few weeks. If we don't see a response to the suggestions soon, we're going to have to archive the nomination. This would be a shame since we don't have any WNBA-related featured lists, and I always like to see new types of lists come through here. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 22:35, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this nomination has been open over 3 months without any supports, and has stalled. Archiving to keep the queue moving. -- Pres N  21:36, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
