Washington Redskins draft history

I'm going to WITHDRAW for now, and split the list into smaller articles. Thanks, « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie ^{( talk / contribs)} 18:55, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
This seems ready for FL. It seems to meet all criteria. It is well illustrated , with images throughout the article. It has a good lead, and seems to meet all other criteria as well. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie ^{( talk / contribs)} 00:30, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

• Comments from Gonzo fan2007
  • There are currently 646 members (which is most of the list) of this list that have no articles. This list is not comprehensive enough, as there is no purpose for this list. A list "links to articles in a particular subject area." There are not enough articles to link to, to make this list useful.
  • The scope of this list is too large. Right now the page is 137,173 bytes long, making it hard for some users to load this page.
  • "This is a list of..." should be rewritten per WP:LEAD. It does not captivate or hook the reader at all.
  • Thumbnail photos should not have their width set to a px value.
  • All of the tables should be sortable and use the {{sortname}} template.
  • I don't believe section headings should be linked. (I.e. 2008 NFL Draft, etc)
  • Per WP:COLOR, color codes for the table should not be the only identifier for a certain subject.
  • The external links section reads like a reference section. The references in the external link section should be integrated into the reference section.
  • I have not even read the intro, but I'm sure that needs to be copy-edited and expanded.
• I strongly oppose this list, as there are two points (the first two) that cannot conceivably be fixed. This list is too big and too broad, the draft history of a team that has participated in 70 some drafts with like 13 players per draft is too large. Most of the people included do not have articles, and most will never have articles. This is a nice list, but it does not lend itself to FL status. I will give some more points tomorrow if the nom is still open. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 04:56, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose As per Gonzofan above. I see that a list of first-round draft picks for this team has already been made an FL, so nothing more can be done. Noble Story (talk) 06:04, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
