Removing Featured lists in Wikipedia This page is for the review and improvement of Wikipedia:Featured lists that may no longer meet the Featured list criteria. FLs should be kept at current standards regardless of when it was promoted. Any objections raised in the review must be actionable. The FLC director, Giants2008, or his delegates NapHit, Crisco 1492 and SchroCat—determine the exact timing of the process for each nomination. Nominations will last at least 14 days, and longer where changes are ongoing and it seems useful to continue the process. For a nomination to be kept, consensus must be reached that it still meets the criteria. Consensus is built among reviewers and nominators; the delegates determine whether there is consensus. A nomination will be removed from the list, archived and added to Former featured lists if, in the judgment of the director who considers a nomination and its reviews: actionable objections have not been resolved; or consensus to keep has not been reached; or insufficient information has been provided by reviewers to judge whether the criteria have been met Nominations may be closed earlier than the allotted two weeks if, in the judgment of the FLRC delegate, the list in the nomination: has a clear consensus to merge or redirect to another article or list. This consensus may be shown in Articles for deletion, a discussion on the article's talk page, a discussion on the relevant WikiProject(s), or other community venues that present a tangible consensus to merge or redirect the article; or contains a clear copyright violation and removal of the copyrighted material would severely degrade the quality of the list. Do not nominate lists that have recently been promoted (such complaints should have been brought up during the candidacy period on Wikipedia:Featured list candidates), or lists that have recently survived a removal attempt – such nominations are likely to be removed summarily. GimmeBot will update the list talk page after the list has been kept or the nomination archived; the delay in bot processing can range from minutes to several days, and the {{FLRC}} template should remain on the talk page until the bot updates {{ArticleHistory}}. If a nomination is delisted, editors should take adequate time to work on resolving issues before re-nominating at Featured list candidates. Nominations will be removed on Tuesdays and Saturdays, just before User:GimmeBot's scheduled run at 00:00 UTC Wednesday and Sunday mornings.  – Table of Contents – Closing instructions	Featured content: Featured articles Featured lists ← Featured pictures Featured sounds Featured portals Featured topics Featured list tools: Featured list criteria Featured list candidates Featured list removal candidates Today's featured list This month's queue Main page requests TFL statistics Featured list log Former featured lists Removal candidates log Toolbox FL Cleanup listing FL Cleanup task force Article statistics

Lists nominated for removal

Clint Eastwood filmography

Notified: WikiProject Film, WikiProject Lists, WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers

I am nominating this for featured list removal because there are not nearly enough in-text citations to be up to par with FL requirements. There are only 9 total, and much more would be needed for a list containing dozens of works and any accolades received. The lead also needs work; things like "the eight-season" and "He has starred in western, action, comedy, and drama films" simply are unnecessary and don't really read well. Additionally, details on whether he was a lead or secondary role within films are better suited for their respective articles rather than here. Snuggums (talk / edits) 04:57, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

• Delist – There are so many problems in this list and it does not pass FLC most surely. Coupled with the fact that FLC standards are so high nowadays, this definitely does not cut it. —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 15:14, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

• Delist – The whole table is unsourced and don't have a sort. The lead also needs some real work and the note section seems redundant. Yashthepunisher (talk) 07:14, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

• Note – I would like to work on it in coming weeks. Please don't close it before that. -- Frankie _talk 19:17, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Arnold Schwarzenegger filmography

Notified: Nehrams2020, WikiProject Film, WikiProject Lists, WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it is not well-referenced enough to meet today's FL standards. The vast majority of roles listed here and the accolades are missing sources. Having a total of 12 in-text citations is quite problematic given how many films are mentioned. I'm also not sure if it's really necessary to include color coding for lead roles or have prose bits within the "Television appearances" section. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:23, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

• I really don't think this could be a problem, as the General General has all movies covered.--Jarodalien (talk) 07:51, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

List of major opera composers

Notified: Adam Cuerden, WikiProject Composers, WikiProject Opera

While reading some FL-related talk pages, I came across a link to the old FLC task force, where I found this list. It fails to meet the modern FL criteria in many ways:

• The lead is very short and it seems designed to make the reader go to other articles for background that may provide added context, instead of attempting to briefly summarize the background as a newer FL would. I'd expect a lead of three paragraphs or so for such a significant topic.
• The introduction isn't much better than the "This is a list of ..." openings that have gone out of favor.
• It doesn't appear that all of the content in the composer notes is cited. Often, there are cites in the note, but not at the end; it therefore becomes hard to determine if the cites are meant to apply to the content, or whether it was added after the fact.
• In particular, none of the notes in the Female opera composers section appear to be sourced.
• I'm unsure whether the method of determining consensus for inclusion by checking 10 major sources holds up to modern standards. For one thing, have there been any major opera history books published that deserve to be included in what the article calls the "sample" of sources considered? Giants2008 (Talk) 00:17, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

• Delist - I would agree that this should be de-featured unless anyone wants to extensively rewrite it. The crux is the absence of any clear deinition of 'major', together with some confusion as to whether we are considering major operas or major composers. In addition to the points made by Giants2008, I note (amongst many other issues): John Gay is not a composer, and Pepusch a very minor figure (if Gay and Pepusch why not, e.g. Gilbert and Sullivan?); what is the point of specifiying a Mozart extract as being 6 mins. 49 secs., which could suggest to the uninformed that this is its authorized duration?; why Gershwin, Schreker and Pfitzner?; no male born after 1950; female composers listed very doubtfully qualify as 'major' composers, I'm afraid - perhaps better separate lists of male and female composers? The whole thing needs a complete rethink. --Smerus (talk) 08:09, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

• Delist the lead is full of inappropriate tone AND too short, and the article is underreferenced Snuggums (talk / edits) 14:45, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Death Cab for Cutie discography

Nominating this FL for removal due to the large amount of references lacking in specific areas. Seems to be a victim of not keeping up with rising standards since its promotion back in 2008. I've applied reference tags where necessary, but to sum up:

• None of the release dates in the article provide citations.
• 1 digital album is unsourced.
• 5 extended plays are unsourced.
• 1 digital extended play is unsourced.
• 22 singles do not provide citation to prove they are singles.
• 1 video album is unsourced.
• All 16 music videos are unsourced.
• 15 other appearances are unsourced.

Was unsure who to notify, as the main contributors all stopped maintaining the article as late as 2011. Azealia911 _talk 20:08, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

• Delist per extensive referencing concerns Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:34, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
• Delist - This is no where near the quality required to be featured. MaranoFan (talk) 07:55, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Ronald Reagan filmography

Notified: Happyme22, Lionelt

I think this looks like being a victim of the rise in standards over the years. We insist on having citations for the tables now - and neither the film or televison table is supported by reliable sources. - SchroCat (talk) 11:09, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

• Delist too many unsourced roles. The "entertainment career" section is also unnecessary and contains needless details. Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:31, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

• Delist – unbalanced lead, unreferenced tables. —Vensatry _(ping) 15:46, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
