Quick comments

Not sure why this can't be merged into the main article. Comment The main article is pretty big, and I think 20 players are more than enough to warrant a stand-alone list.
- No, the main article is very small and this information could easily be included there. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:48, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Four paras is too much per WP:LEAD. Made a few changes
Geoff Lawson is a dab. Fixed
Don't overlink RP Singh in the lead. You link him four times, and his article is actually R. P. Singh. Fixed
Nationality column could be left-aligned since it looks odd now. Not Done I have followed List of Somerset CCC Twenty20 players.
- Why? Just because it's there, it doesn't make it right. It looks odd. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:48, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorting by Balls gives different results each time you click. Done

Oppose

There are a lot of problems with the tense in this list. The team is defunct so the writing should be in the past tense, yet we have this: "KTK is a franchise cricket team based in Kochi, Kerala..." there are numerous examples in the first two paras. This is my main concern.
Would move the bit at the end about the team being terminated to after the sentence about being one of two new franchises
"Mahela Jayawardene has score most half-centuries for KTK, scoring three..." all the sentences describing statistics start this way and it makes the prose very bland try and vary them a bit for instance: "Mahela Jayawardene scored the most half-centuries with three."
Would align the nationality column to the left as it looks messy with the countries aligned centrally
Is there much point in having the 100 column seeing as no player scored one?
What makes Criclounge a reliable source?

All done I am very sorry. I admit that I am not that good when it comes to copy-editing. :( ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^Talk ^Email 09:43, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Not sure why the nom has gone in for a second nomination when there is an ongoing FLC. —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 17:39, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A fair point, the nominator has another FLC which has yet to receive substantial support. So, per the instructions, this nomination should not be allowed. I suggest you withdraw it, and consider the points made that you haven't resolved (e.g. the 3b issue, that this could easily be included in the main article), focus on the other nomination and then once that's done, revisit this nomination. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:46, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn I though that 1 support is substantial, but nevertheless I will nominate it later after doing some work with the main article. Thanks to all those who commented. :) ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^Talk ^Email 14:14, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
