I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it fulfills the FL requirement. This is my first nom in over 2 years. —Chris!c/t 02:41, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment – Before continuing with a full review, I was curious as to where the scope of the list comes from. Is there a source that lists 15 games each for the regular season and playoffs? If not, I don't know where a logical starting point would come from. Who's to say that 15 is a better number of games to include than 20 or 25? Giants2008 (Talk) 21:12, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I admit that the 15 games cutoff point is somewhat arbitrary. When I wrote this, I searched the Internet for a similar list that list this info. I can't really found one. The closest one is this, but it only lists several games. I can see that this list could fail 3a because there is really no defined scope. If this is the reason for a quick fail. I can understand. —Chris!c/t 00:19, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Why not just use a common number like top-10? At any rate, there is coverage of the list in books, though you might need to go offline to get the full content. Also, sources like these[2][3] can be used to establish WP:LISTN for the topic of highest scoring games.—Bagumba (talk) 00:42, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Just curious: how many entries are in the reference Official NBA Guide 2006-07 that was used.?—Bagumba (talk) 01:39, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- 10. And I use the BR search tool to verify the list as well.—Chris!c/t 03:15, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- List the BR link in sources as well.—Bagumba (talk) 01:25, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Looking at the links added, they are just links to the highest scoring games by a single team, right? So you afterwards do your own calculations to find the highest scoring combined score? If this is the case, I can do without these sources being listed :-) —Bagumba (talk) 02:27, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes. I wanted to tell you that before, but I was viewing that page earlier and I just added for you to see.—Chris!c/t 03:11, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Conditional support List contents and organization are FL-quality. As the article is less than a month old, I'd feel more comfortable if someone more qualified than myself reviewed the prose for grammar and flow.—Bagumba (talk) 22:46, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The list looks well structured and sourced properly. Naturally a cut-off point would need to be chosen, either a certain number of games, or a minimum number of points. The top 10 of both the regular season and the play-offs could be reasonable for this. I have some comments about the lay-out, in particular

- What makes 82games.com (ref 14) a reliable source? Giants2008 (Talk) 20:22, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Done all. A reviewer suggests 82games.com as a source. A quick Google search reveals that the site is used by reputable sites like ESPN and WSJ, so I believe it is reliable.—Chris!c/t 00:40, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll leave the source question out so other reviewers can see it and decide whether they think it's reliable. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:04, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- With all the references from reliable news sources to this site, I consider it reliable.—Bagumba (talk) 19:51, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
