List of drafted Frölunda HC players[edit]

The following is an archived discussion of a featured list nomination. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the article's talk page. No further edits should be made to this page. The closing editor's comments were: 14 days, 4 support, 1 oppose. Fail. --MarcK 04:16, 6 July 2007 (UTC) Upon further examination, it seems that the only opposition vote was fully addressed, so promote. --MarcK 11:04, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This list was a Featured List Candidate back in February but was not promoted. In spirit of the upcoming 2007 NHL Entry Draft I'm nominating this list once again. The list has gone through a major overhaul, with added footnotes, new lead, better references, and the list is now sortable. I believe that the list now meets the criteria. --Krm500 02:04, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Lead is well written, chart looks nice, and it's well-referenced. But comment, why not just provide a key like on List of Colorado Avalanche players instead of the footnote for positions? Whether it stays in footnotes or goes to a key isn't going to change my vote to support it, I just personally think it would be better if it was in a key instead.

Support Well written, organized and the like. Kaiser matias 06:45, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~, good lead, very informative and well-organized, but are there any free images of players in the list that could dress it up a bit? --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 18:58, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - the more I think about it and the more I look at the article, the more I don't want any images mucking it up. --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 22:58, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Spike. Also, I'm concerned by the number of redlinks for players drafted in the 2000s. Circeus 00:00, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The criteria says that "It has images if they are appropriate to the subject". There was an image in the list during the previous feature list candidacy, but when I changed the format of the list to sortable the image did not fit in the window at 1024x768 resolution. To add an image now you'd have to place it in the lead, and I feel that an image in the lead should depict a draft situation. So there are no free-use images available at the moment. --Krm500 01:12, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - There must be a way to solve this without resorting to either no images or just inserting an image in some wonky place just for the sake of it? --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 21:59, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - Another user added an image of Henrik Lundqvist with the Rangers. Unfortunately there are few free images available too use. What kind of image do you want in the article? --Krm500 22:39, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Currently the list consist of 80% existing articles, that is a large majority of "blue links". Most of the non-existing are players drafted 2003 and forward. Keep in mind that players get drafted when they are 17-18 years old. Most of these guys are currently playing junior hockey in various North American junior leagues. The Wikiprojet on Ice Hockey's notability guidelines basically say that players should have played in a professional league, which the "red linked" players haven't. They are still young and will sooner or later play professional hockey. --Krm500 01:12, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - I would still be opposing over the images issue. That objection is only invalid of no image whatsoever could be expected to exist for the topic that would be acceptable (such as is usually the case of episode listings nowadays). Circeus 04:24, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
