[edit] UEFA Cup
A highly entertaining, solid article summarising the best of Europe's secondary cup competition. The amount of writing is balanced with the amount of tables and charts - all of which are relevent and well constructed. At least enough for "good" article, I feel enough for featured.

- Oppose - Sorry, but it's not there yet. The article is heavy on lists. The "trivia" section shouldn't be there; take the information there and convert it into brilliant prose elsewhere. Inline citations are now a must for featured articles. Also, in a lot of places, the article is informal in its tone and assumes that the reader knows a good deal about European football clubs. I would suggest a peer review. Good luck! User:The Disco King (not signed in) 204.40.1.129 12:49, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- Object for various reasons... see WP:WIAFA.
- Lacks the depth needed for an FA (2b). Looks like a good start, but half the article is lists, and it is a bit light on actual prose.
- Lacks any references whatsoever. (2c)
- The lead is insufficient (3a). This needs to summarize the article, not merely introduce it.
- Contains only one image and it is fair use. Perhaps a free image from the competition could be found? That's not really a requirement but it helps. --W.marsh 14:42, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose, lead is insufficient. Phoenix2 15:16, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- The captions in this article have been reviewed and meet the criteria for good captions. -Epolk 16:50, 25 May 2006 (UTC) Writing Captions WikiProject

- Oppose For the subject the article is quite small, there needs to be a bigger more detailed history which is cited and referenced.--Childzy 19:31, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose
- Lacks Pictures
- It should not have the trivia section
- It is too short

- Completely wrong
This article is completely wrong, the Fairs Cup and the UEFA Cup are completely different, check UEFA's official website to see this (http://www.uefa.com/Competitions/uefacup/History/index.html). As an example, check Barcelona's official trophy count (http://www.uefa.com/footballEurope/Club=50080/competition=1/index.html). As you can see, there are no UEFA Cups, nor Fairs Cup, as this was an unofficial competition. I think the article should be completely changed and only talk about the UEFA Cup. Then another one on the Fairs Cup could be done. Robert King.
- While I do not agree entirely with the above, I think the Fairs Cup deserves an article on its own. This competition had a different trophy and was run by differet organization. In the conclusion of this article it could then be made clear that the UEFA Cup was a successor competition. This would also allow this article to be expanded in size and atay within Wikipedias recommended limits on article size. I think the current article while reasonably good could still do with improving. Djln--Djln 23:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
