BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year

 * Notified: Rambo's Revenge, WikiProjects Sports, Awards, BBC, Lists

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it has not been significantly updated since 2009, and has several inherent problems, including: All in all, this list is now way short of the standard for a featured list, unless significant improvements are made.

 * 1) Tables are using flags to describe people's place of birth, not their sporting nationality, in violation of MOS:SPORTFLAG. This has been mentioned at the talkpage and WT:SPORTS with no response at either location
 * 2) It is awarded to the sportsperson aged 17 or under as of 1 January of that year- unsourced, as the source  from 2008 says it's for 16 or under. If the rules have been updated, newer sources are needed
 * 3) All winners to date have been British- unsourced and contradicts the fact that the table lists Sky Brown as Japanese. Not clear how British is being defined here
 * 4) The only two non-English recipients to win the award are Scottish tennis player Andy Murray, who won in 2004, and British-Japanese skateboarder Sky Brown, who won in 2021, and represents Great Britain whilst living in both Japan and the United States.- unsourced, Murray isn't mentioned anywhere, and the source doesn't describe Brown as non-British. This also contradicts the text highlighted in the point above
 * 5) Judging criteria- source is from 2008, if it's still the same criteria, can a newer source be used for this?
 * 6) Rationale of all people seems to violate MOS:QUOTE, as they're all excessive quotes
 * 7) Why are only the winners listed? BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award has the top three, which seems better (and more encyclopedic than listing the rationale)


 * Support - I agree with everything here, taking most concern with Brown's nationality issue, outdated sources and the availability of second and third-place nominations. Usually I'm not a fan of listing 2nd and 3rd's for awards as it can ruin lists like Liverpool POTY and The FA England Awards, but in this case the information seems freely available to make a complete 'encyclopaedic' list including the other nominees.

 * Oppose This list is rescuable. I have removed the flags and the comments on nationality and clarified the criteria for eligibility per the latest ceremony. The rationale section could be reworded or removed. A brief search shows that they didn't publically reveal the top three until recently but this could be added. I'll try to amend more when I have more time. Cowlibob (talk) 11:57, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

 * It's been 2 months since the last significant edit, and I don't believe the current version has anywhere enough content to meet the standard of FL. If improvements aren't being made, can we de-list this? Joseph2302 (talk) 14:40, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Joseph2302 - Agree that three months listing, and two months without progress, particularly on the list inclusion criteria and sourcing, is enough to conclude that this fails the criteria for being an FL and should be de-listed. FOARP (talk) 11:31, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Support de-listing - The issues complained of haven't been addressed in a reasonable amount of time. Note that whilst there is an oppose !vote above, this basically concedes that the article did not meet the criteria but committed to solving the issues, however this was only partially done and shows no sign of being done (if it can be done - the list-inclusion criteria issues may be unsolvable). FOARP (talk) 08:07, 19 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Support de-listing due to lack of progress in addressing the issues identified. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 00:06, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
