Nominator(s): Pratyya ^(Hello!) 03:29, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because this article looks quite good to me. Also some other articles like this have been a featured list. So I think it can be passed. It is well sourced, there are notes, moreover it is very informative. That's why I'm nominating this for FL. (I'm the creator of this thing) --Pratyya ^(Hello!) 03:29, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ - The quality of English in the lead is very poor. Some examples:
- "The term captain in cricket means who leads the team and does some additional works and has some responsibilities" => "In cricket, a captain is a player who leads the team and has additional roles and responsibilities"
- "Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is a professional Twenty20 format tournament organized by Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in Bangladesh" => "The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is a professional Twenty20 format tournament organized by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB)". No need to state "in Bangladesh" given that it's in the name of the competition and the organising body as well!
- "The first season of BPL was held in 2012,[4] since then another season of BPL was played in 2013." => "The first season of BPL was held in 2012,[4] and the second in 2013."
- "In this 2 season 22 players have captained their team in at least one match" = > "In these two seasons, twenty-two players have captained their team in at least one match"
- "Mushfiqur Rahim the captain of Bangladesh played for two different franchisees in two BPL season." => "Mushfiqur Rahim, the captain of Bangladesh, played for two different franchises in two BPL seasons."
That's every one of the first five sentences, I'm going to stop there. I think the lead needs a severe copy-edit by a native English speaker. Also, tiny one- or two-sentence paragraphs need to be merged togather. And why are some team names randomly in bold in the lead? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:32, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @ChrisTheDude: for your kind review to the article. Actually I didn't start the article in a jiffy. I worked over BPL's history for two days. Then I made a rough note and get them checked by an English teacher of us. After his correction I made another note. I created the article with that note. Anyway still I'll request an native English speaker to make a copy-edit. The explanation of And why are some team names randomly in bold in the lead? is Actually I have a plan to remove the duplicate links and bolds. Now I have a question, other than these problems is there any problems you see?--Pratyya ^(Hello!) 13:54, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you can get the English of the lead fixed, I'll then look to see what other problems may exist...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:53, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All right. I'll be slightly busy in next two days. But I'll try my best to complete the work in next two days. --Pratyya ^(Hello!) 15:15, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Copy-edit Done @ChrisTheDude: --Pratyya ^(Hello!) 05:14, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"In this second season 22 players have captained their team in at least one match" - do you really mean this? The list refers to the second season only?? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:59, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I meant In this 2 season 22 players have captained their team in at least one match The copy editor thought it differently that's why he changed the two to second. Anyway I've fixed that. @ChrisTheDude: --Pratyya ^(Hello!) 13:05, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"In this two season" is completely grammatically incorrect in English, the correct form is "in these two seasons" -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:54, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Missed that one. Anyway fixed. Let me know if there's other grammatical errors or any problem. @ChrisTheDude: --Pratyya ^(Hello!) 12:54, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrisTheDude: I'm not a native English speaker but I've done a copyedit/reword of the lead on behalf of the nominator. Hope it's helpful. Cowlibob (talk) 17:36, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrisTheDude: Now what to do? Is it okay or still it contain flaws?--Pratyya ^(Hello!) 13:52, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

More comments

"The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is a professional Twenty20 format tournament organized by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in Bangladesh." - three uses of the word Bangladesh is too many. "In Bangladesh" at the end is not needed - where else would the BCB organise a tournament?

"Of the two seasons played, 22 players have captained their team in at least one match" => "In the two seasons played, 22 players have captained their team in at least one match"

"having lead in all 24 matches" => "having led in all 24 matches" (spelling mistake)

"Nafees and Mahmudullah Riyad of the Chittagong Kings have lost the most number of matches" => "Nafees and Mahmudullah Riyad of the Chittagong Kings have lost the highest number of matches"

"Kapali has captained the Barisal Burners and Sylhet Royals. Nafees has captained the Barisal Burners as well but has also led the Khulna Royal Bengals. Rahim has captained the Duronto Rajshahi as well as the Sylhet Royals. Vincent has also captained the Sylhet Royals as well as the Barisal Burners" => "Kapali and Vincent have each captained the Barisal Burners and Sylhet Royals, Nafees has captained the Barisal Burners and the Khulna Royal Bengals, and Rahim has captained the Duronto Rajshahi and the Sylhet Royals."

"Six players have captained the Sylhet Royals. Five players have captained the Duronto Rajshahi. Four players have captained the Barisal Burners; three players have captained the Chittagong Kings, Dhaka Gladiators, Khulna Royal Bengals and two players have captained the Rangpur Riders" => "Six players have captained the Sylhet Royals, five players have captained the Duronto Rajshahi, four players have captained the Barisal Burners, three players have captained the Chittagong Kings, Dhaka Gladiators, Khulna Royal Bengals, and two players have captained the Rangpur Riders."

Ref 4 needs properly formatting using {{cite web}}. Also, what makes this a reliable source?

Hope this helps -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:47, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All changes to the lead are done. I think tigercricket is the Bangladesh Cricket Board's official site. Cowlibob (talk) 12:29, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support - with all that taken care of, all looks OK to me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:46, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much Cowlibob for helping me here. But @ChrisTheDude: I've an objection with a comment of yours. where else would the BCB organise a tournament? Indian Premier League is a league like BPL which is organized by the BCCI. See 2014 Indian Premier League and 2009 Indian Premier League. In 2014 BCCI organized some of the matches in UAE and in 2009 they organized all the matches in South Africa. So BCB can also organize a tournament outside Bangladesh. Anyway thanks for supporting.

Support The list looks really good. (One red link in this article, please fix it)--Aftab1995 (talk) 15:17, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed that Aftab1995 and thank you for supporting.--Pratyya ^(Hello!) 15:26, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks fine to me although I doubt the necessity of the NR and Tied columns when none of them happened yet. Thanks, ƬheStrike Σagle 04:48, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. But who can say that there'll never be a tied or NR game? So keep the those sections.--Pratyya ^(Hello!) 04:51, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Closing note: This candidate has been promoted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FLC/ar, and leave the {{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:47, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Firstly, I'm very sorry Pratyya that I couldn't join earlier as you said as I was busy with my class exams and haven't accessed internet since last week. Secondly, even if this is closed (as mentioned), but I'll do my job and I joined it. Thirdly, I took a overlook in the article, it is Ok, but you need to focus more on the captains rather than focusing on the in formations regarding the BCBs, other leagues etc.

Finally, Congrats. HPD ^talk 13:11, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
