I am nominating this for featured list because this list is comprehensive and accurately produces data with proper reliable citations. This list features all time league record for East Bengal F.C. against all opposition it faced in the National Football League and the I-League till date accurately. I believe this list should get the featured list title. SabyaC (talk) 13:21, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment
The first thing that jumps out is.....if the club was formed in 1920, where are all the matches from the first 76 years of their history? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:34, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I've just noticed the collapsed key, expanded it, and noticed it says "The records include the results of matches played in the National Football League (from 1996 to 2006) and the I-League (from 2006 to the present day)". Why are all the results from before 1996 excluded? It seems weird to have a list which purports to cover the club's complete league record but excludes over 75% of its history...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:32, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, National League was started in 1996, prior to that in India there was no national league happening just mere state leagues as East Bengal FC used to participate in the Calcutta Football League, which is not a national level tournament. -SabyaC (talk) 06:48, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Existing FLs Cardiff City F.C. league record by opponent, Sheffield United F.C. league record by opponent, Luton Town F.C. league record by opponent and York City F.C. league record by opponent include periods when the clubs played regional football. In the case of East Bengal, such a massive chunk of the club's history is missing that I would find it hard to support..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:18, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment from zmbro
  • I have to agree with Chris as well. If other FLs of the same nature list every year, even when they weren't at the national level, I find that hard to support as well. On top of that, 22 out of 24 references listed are from "rsssf.com" while the other two are "East Bengal Football Club". You tend to want a variety of primary and secondary sources so that probably won't fly either, as everything here is primary. The other FLx Chris mentioned each have books that give some info so perhaps there's a book or two available? – zmbro (talk) 21:33, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • After a month and a half it hasn't been expanded to include everything so have to oppose. – zmbro (talk) 19:28, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment from Dey subrata
  • I think I have to agree with Chris the Dude, club has a 100 years of history, will be very poor if only 25 years history is included. With that the prose must be re-written accordingly with citations.
  • Again it will not be wise to consider NFL or I-League or coming ISL only. Irony is that these clubs play the oldest league in Asia Calcutta FL or played the second cup in the world IFA shield. It will be indeed interesting to add all those match records for sure.
The records are well kept but not enough for FL promotion. Dey subrata (talk) 00:22, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose We can't ignore a significant part of a club's history, so unfortunately this nomination is a non-starter as it is not comprehensive. Advise nominator to perhaps look for offline paper sources for the missing results (if there are no web records). Cowlibob (talk) 00:00, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
