I am nominating this for featured list because it contains a full list of official matches played by the Gibraltar national football team since their acceptance into UEFA that I believe meets the FL criteria. The matches are grouped by the years they were played making it easy to navigate. As they started in 2013 there will be no need to split the article for a few years yet. Each entry is comprehensively detailed and referenced (one ref tag and a link to an external match report).
It is my first time nominating an article for featured status but I am prepared to do what I can. I did get the article peer reviewed first where Aza24 was kindly able to help. I look forward to the responses. — 6ii9 (talk) 00:28, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Any reason why the list format is totally different to existing similar FLs, such as the recently-promoted Wales national football team results (1946–1959)? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:32, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- An advantage to using the football box template is it allows more information to be included (similar to the Faroe Islands results list that is currently an FL). If it is needed to be in table form I can convert. --6ii9 (talk) 10:43, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- That list was promoted ten years ago, so doesn't necessarily indicate current consensus. I'll leave this out here to see what other people think....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:41, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- WikiProject Football has its own manual of style, and looking at this section, it seems that the accepted way to list match results is with those templates. Also, I quickly scanned through similar lists in Category:National association football team results by team, and everything I saw as I scanned through them (minus the Welsh lists) uses that formatting, so I'm pretty much certain it's the standard. It does mean there is no sorting functionality, but I'm personally okay with it because it allows much more information to be included about individual matches that would either disappear or be awkwardly included in a list like the Welsh lists.

- While the collapsible format seems to have become the most prevalent, this is likely due to the majority being mass produced by a minority of editors. The most recent discussion at WP:FOOTBALL largely suggested that the table format is actually more favourable as it is far more inline with WP:ACCESS.

- Support - while my personal preference would be for the article not to contain dozens of collapsible templates, if it is deemed an acceptable format I am not going to oppose based on that..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:22, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Opposeper Kosack's comment, I'm going to have to oppose on the tables. The collapsible tables may allow you to contain more information, but they do not meet WP:ACCESS. Users who need screen readers to use Wikipedia will not be able to read the page as well as users who are normal sighted. Kosack links to the discussion at WP:FOOTY which suggests that the tables used in the Wales ar preferable because they meet MOS:DTT and WP:ACCESS. Unfortunately, as long as those tables are in use, I can't support the promotion of this list. NapHit (talk) 13:01, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Table looks in much better shape now, struck my oppose based on that. I think the key needs to be in a table too. Look at the Wales lists for an example. I am concerned about the references though. Firstly you need to use en dashes instead of the standard dashes for scorelines. Ref 13 is an example. Secondly, it's questionable whether some of the references are reliable or not. What makes yourgilbraltartv and footballgibraltar.wordpress.com reliable? NapHit (talk) 11:31, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose- Looking through the article, I do think that the table format is suitable in this featured list scenario as WP:ACCESS is a massive issue from this getting past the featured list challenge. I also do think that adding the cards is a bit of an overkill as you don't see many other articles (if any) in the national results section have the cards as well as the goals.
- In terms of prose, I do feel its fine except the last three sentences in the prose as why is that needed here as that doesn't relate to the article either. HawkAussie (talk) 23:24, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I have now converted the collapsible boxes into a table. --6ii9 (talk) 15:26, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Quick comments –
Not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but on my computer the score column cells are black-colored, which doesn't appear to be the intention and makes it hard for me to read the scores. I suggest changing the formatting to be like the Wales list linked above, as the colors appear without issue for me on that page.- @Giants2008: I do not have this issue. I have looked at the Wales list above and cannot see why that one renders correctly for you but this one does not. I can only assume it is the colours being used. 6ii9 (talk) 15:00, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
- "which was rejected" on what grounds?
- "for full membership" was partial membership a thing?
- "friendlies" link.
- "in Faro/Loulé," this is odd so I'd explain it a tiny bit.
- " in Faro/Loulé, Portugal which " comma after portugal.
- "which became their official debut." Gibraltar's official debut.
- Probably worth noting in the lead how it ended.
- "Gibraltar entered its first major international competition:" how did it go?
- " joint largest victory" I'm not sure 1-0 and 2-1 are equitable here, and in any case, it's the minimal "winning margin" possible!
- On the Gibraltar national football team article's infobox, it lists the 1–0s and the 2–1 as their biggest wins. Indeed it is the minimal winning margin but Gibraltar have failed to win by more than one goal yet. --6ii9 (talk) 14:44, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the Att column should be right-aligned.
- "Gibraltar scorers" also "time of goal".
- Check all the sources for "behind closed doors" actually mention it. E.g. ref 59 for match 47 doesn't mention attendance at all.
- Score column sorts peculiarly, I'd expect it to start with "best wins" then go through draws to "worst losses".
- Are the flags necessary?
- Compare ref 2 BBC Sport with ref 3 BBC Sport format.
- Scorelines in ref titles should be en-dashes.
- FIFA.com or FIFA?
- Link publishers always or not?
- TheGuardian.com or The Guardian?
- Avoid using Daily Mirror. Not particularly RS.
That's a quick pass. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 22:41, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Quick skim on sources:
- what makes yourgilbraltartv and footballgibraltar.wordpress.com reliable sources? They appear to be minor blogs
- Also not recognizing CaughtOffside
- El Pais isn't link, and one link to Eurosport is malformed
- Spotchecks not done
--PresN 16:18, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I went ahead and changed the sorting of the score column to go win-draw-loss based on what the Wales national football team results (1960–1979) FLC is doing; revert if you dislike. In either case, source review passed, promoting. --PresN 21:55, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
