Premier League Golden Boot

 * Nominator(s): Bloom6132 (talk) 03:09, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it has been improved significantly since January and now meets all 6 FL criteria. This is my 12th FLC nomination, but first non-baseball nom and first one on football, so please be understanding if I get anything "football-specific" wrong. —Bloom6132 (talk) 03:09, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - I don't see anything sourcing the stats, in particular the number of games played by each player..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:12, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The Arsenal.com article under the general ref sources every entry in the table. That was the only reliable source I could find that has a record of every goal and game played by the winner. —Bloom6132 (talk) 10:43, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Soccerbase would have them all, I would have thought. Here is RvP's record for 2011/12, which if used as a source would remove the need for the note at the bottom indicating that Arsenal have their own player's stats wrong! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:19, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, I would still need the note, since the article will still be used to source his winning the award that year. If you want, I'll add the Soccerbase source for RVP's 2011–12 stats, but only for that year as I'm not very keen on having to produce individual Soccerbase sources for all the other years. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:54, 5 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Support - actually now that you've explained all that, it all seems OK -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:36, 5 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Support nice piece of work, well done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:29, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Comments from Cirt

 * Comment: Some comments, (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). ...
 * 1) NOTE: Please respond, below entire set of comments, and not interspersed throughout, thanks!
 * 2) Image review: One major problem: File:AlanShearer2004.png depends on File:Fung Ka Ki and Alan Shearer at friendly opening 2004.jpg which was deleted for no permission, so that one has to be deleted as well. All other images check out okay. So not done for now. ❌
 * 3) Notes - Please change title of sect to "Footnotes".
 * 4) References - Please break out to 2 separate sects, one for "Notes", then one for "References". Notes are the inline cites, References are the general references those cites refer back to.
 * 5) Notes - Please add inline cites to back up the assertions for each of these footnotes.
 * 6) See also - Consider adding a few more entries here. Suggest adding also a couple more relevant portals.
 * 7) Otherwise, all looks great, quite high quality.
 * 8) Please feel free to update me or drop me a note once above is responded to, and after that I'll have another look over to see if I'm ready to Support at that point in time.
 * 9) NOTE: Please respond, below entire set of comments, and not interspersed throughout, thanks!


 * @Cirt – Replaced Alan Shearer's pic with a free one.
 * Regarding the "Notes" and "References" comments, I modelled it after recently-passed FL Marvin Miller Man of the Year Award, List of Major League Baseball pitchers who have struck out four batters in one inning, etc. For consistency sake, I'd rather leave it in its current, FLC-approved format.
 * Regarding "Notes" and inline cites, all but one of my notes have inline citations already. And the only one that doesn't (note 2) doesn't need a citation, since it is giving common knowledge and not asserting a claim (i.e. it's common knowledge that players usually don't play every game in the season.  But I'm trying to make it clear that this relates to the number of games the player played in, not the number of games in a season).
 * Added List of Premier League players with 100 or more goals to "See also" section. It was the only relevant one I could find (hat-trick list has iffy relation at best).
