Successful nomination: Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of winners of the Boston Marathon/archive2

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it was approved wih no barometre but simply vote counting. Seeing the FAC it involves a vote count of comments that said nothing for the reasons for support. And sources are poorLihaas (talk) 14:58, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why someone thought this list should be featured. I never noticed it was featured until today. It's a well done list and it is useful but I agree the sourcing could be better. Gr5 (talk) 15:24, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delist. No longer up to standards. The first three words ("This page lists ...") speak volumes. Goodraise 23:24, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist per not meeting our current standards for excellent prose, for having an unresolved maintenance tag, for having much of the lead unreferenced.... I don't think it's far from being a decent nomination candidate, but right now it's not our best work. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:14, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – I'll refrain from offering an opinion here since another director has already declared himself, but suffice it to say that quite a bit of work will be needed to bring this up to modern FL standards. In particular, more thorough referencing is necessary. Giants2008 (Talk) 11:09, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
