List of space shuttle missions
Notified: Space and Human Spaceflight WikiProjects.

I hadn't planned on nominating this one, but I noticed that it had several Unreferenced templates, which isn't acceptable in featured content. There are several unsourced sections and the lead needs to be improved. Also, according to the page, the last time any of the main references was accessed was 2005, so this should be updated. -- Scorpion0422 17:56, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Remove for being under-referenced. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 04:21, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Remove. The List of ISS spacewalks was removed recently for being under-referenced, and it had far more references than this list does at the time it was removed, and unlike this list, it contained no information that cannot be confirmed. This list is not only barely sourced, but it is also very out of date with regards to the flight statistics, and there is no way to verify the statistics currently given. It also fails nearly every single WP:WIAFL criteria: The lead is not up to MOS standards, the prose is not professional, nor does it flow well, it has no "structure" or sections to guide a reader, it is not visually pleasant, it is unsourced, it does not use proper punctuation, it is not comprehensive (many missions simply say "ISS mission"), and probably has many more MOS issues.

 * Remove for shortage of citations. Would be great to see this brought back up again.  Durova Charge! 20:07, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Remove minimum sources and reference templates doesn't make a very good Featured list.  iMa tth ew (talk) 20:48, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
