List of ABA champions

I've based this nomination off of both List of Super Bowl champions and List of NBA champions and believe it fulfills all of the FL criteria, including the comprehensiveness and well-referenced criteria. Hello32020 (talk) 14:30, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments-
"This is a list of franchises that have won the American Basketball Association (ABA) Finals, that is those who have won the championship series of the ABA" - Thats a bit wordy
Image:IndianaPacersOriginal.png - even though the Pacers won it three times, I believe its a bit POVish. An ABA finals logo would be best or a standard ABA logo would be sufficient.
"The ABA Finals started in 1968, the league itself formed in 1967 and both ended in 1976." I believe it should read The league formed in [the fall of(i assume)] 1967 and the Finals started in [the spring of(i assume)] 1968. The league dissolved in 1976. Something along those lines.
"Since its formation, outstanding players in the Finals won the ABA Playoffs Most Valuable Player." - if there isnt going to be any elaboration, which there shouldn't be, I believe this sentence should go. This list is about the teams not the players.
The key needs symbols included with it. Symbols will allow color-blind people the ablity to follow the list. For example Eastern Division should read Eastern Division #. Than for the 1968 season the Pittsburgh Pipers should be the Pittsburgh Pipers #.
- I've implemented everything you've requested, but have just removed the logo. I have not been able to verify what the official logo of the ABA is and can't find any other image that would seem to be NPOV. If you or anyone else has a suggestion for this, please say so.

No reference in the second paragraph?
What do the numbers and the #'s mean? You should add it to the key.

References added and the numbers and number symbol comment were already symbolized in the key. Hello32020 (talk) 20:24, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support. It looks good, but it's so short it could be merged into the main article. GreenJoe 00:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia_talk:FLC#Straight_repetitions_of_the_title_in_the_opening_sentence.
Sentences shouldn't start with "However" (Grammatical conjunction)

I agree with Joe that due to the size of the list it should be merged. As such I'm staying Neutral. Matthewedwards (talk · contribs · count · email) 08:39, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done Hello32020 (talk) 22:02, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This page should be merged into this section. There's already a table there that's more useful than the one here, so I don't know why this page was even created. There were nine champions only and that number will never increase. I strongly suggest to redirect this page to American Basketball Association#List of ABA championships. --Crzy cheetah 04:34, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

En dashes, not hyphens, after 2000 at top, and in the first piped ref.
The pink and blue are fine, but the glaring orange at the bottom isn't so nice. Can you select a better match?
"Key" section: I find this clumsy—"Numbers in parentheses in the tables are used as follows:

Winning team column indicates number of ABA championship wins for that team." TONY (talk) 15:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Hello32020 (talk) 20:22, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
