[edit] 2005 NFL Draft
I think this list qualifies as a featured list. It is comprehensive, stable and accurate. Pepsidrinka 04:23, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - I'm just worried about the fact that we could "easily" make lists like this one to every draft in NFL (and other sports have drafts too, isn't it?), that would make us have lots of featured lists with similar content. Of course I'm not saying that it is not a very good effort, this thing certainly gave you lots of work. Just one more thing, could you make all the tables have the same size?

- I see your concern that if one of these manage to be featured, it is going to ease the path for about 150 other articles. However, I don't quite see it as such a bad thing. If these lists of sports drafts are brought up to featured list criteria, then, in my opinion, that is not a bad thing. If soon there are many lists brought to FLC, then certainly that will only make it harder for lists to be featured. The bar will soon have to rise. Also, the tables have been edited for uniformity.

- I agree with you, this one seems to meet the criteria. I just wanted to discuss that issue, it's nothing against this kind of lists, I love sports (mainly soccer) statistics. I'll just have a better look. I have no time now, because I'm leaving the country in a few hours, I'll return after Easter Sunday and after that, I'll probably make my support vote.

- Support - While I understand concerns about these sorts of articles being "easy", I don't think that's a problem. The purpose of Featured Anything is to recognise the best pages here, not for the edification of those who worked on them. This list meets all the criteria, so it should be Featured. My only quibble is that the first reference is not a reference at all but a footnote. Soo 16:56, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Support looks good. -- I@n ≡ talk 10:12, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- Support - As I said, it meets the criteria, therefore, I support it. I never said that the aim of the featured articles was the edification of those who worked on it, I just said that being wikipedia built in a totally unselfish way, it is important to recognize the efforts of other people.
