My current nom has three supports and now actionable opposes or comments, so should be alright nomming this. i feel the list meets the criteria, I know there are a lot of redlinks and I will endeavour to remove these over the course of the nomination.

- Comments –
Not sure if this has been covered before, but did we ever establish whether LFC History was a reliable source? Also, can we find a better source for historical information than Sparticus Educational, which looks like a school-related website? Surely there's something stronger out there.Giants2008 (Talk) 23:26, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It has been established before, but no harm in clarifying the situation, the sixth paragraph on this page should establish the sites reliability. I managed to find a reference from the telegraph, which covers ww1, can't find one that explicitly refers to both, will that suffice? NapHit (talk) 14:51, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In a perfect world there would be another cite covering World War II. I figure you should be able to find something from a reliable source discussing it.Giants2008 (Talk) 23:04, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]- Managed to find a source which should cover it.

*"first significant trophy" is POV: maybe something like "Liverpool won the First Division title for the first time in 1901, since when they..."
Comments. When I first looked at this list shortly after its nomination, I was going to oppose on criterion 5a, "a minimal proportion of items" being redlinked. There were at the time 109 redlinks out of under 300 names, so it was clearly terminally optimistic to reduce that proportion to anything approaching "minimal" in the couple of weeks that the nomination would be open. Having looked again and surprised to see no redlinks, I had a look at the stubs created, and was underwhelmed to find things like "Abraham Foxall is a former English footballer who played as a striker.", with an external link to LFC History, a stub tag and 2 categories: English footballers and Liverpool F.C. players. No vital dates, "is a former" rather than "was" for a man who if really still living would be celebrating his 138th birthday this year, no other clubs played for, no project banners on the talk page, and not even a Football League players category to give some assertion of notability. Clearly this isn't an actionable comment, but I wouldn't mind knowing why you chose to submit the nomination and then frantically create dozens and dozens of 12-word sub-stubs, rather than wait a few weeks till you'd done rather more of the redlinks as stubs with at least a little bit of content/context and then nominate?
Hope some of this helps, cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:33, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Support. That nominators put in time and effort to perfect their own work should go without saying, but I'd just like to say how impressed I was with how much time and effort Matty put in to review the content of someone else's work in such thorough detail. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 13:00, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
