Fighting in ice hockey[edit]

Notified: Mus Musculus, WikiProject Ice Hockey

I am nominating this featured article for review because I don't think this article meet the criteria anymore, like User:DrKiernan point out at the talk page more than 18 months ago, major source problems still not addressed, and there's several paragraphs with no footnotes at all, two [citation needed] didn't get any attention. --Jarodalien (talk) 16:52, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment – I'll have a look at the article over the weekend, with the aim of improving it. At a minimum, I'll make sure that the blacklisted sources disappear for good. Although I don't remember doing so, I took the Hockeyfights link out of the References section last year, but I missed the fact that the two tables in the body use it. Replacing them will be my highest priority, along with adding references. It looks like the other two sources mentioned on the talk page have already been removed from the article.

I can see Giants2008 has been working on it - ping me when you feel waht you've done should by rights save it from FAR. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:54, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If anyone here wants to see how progress is going, please feel free to do so. I'd still like to incorporate some of those "Notable" fights into the history section when I get a chance. Giants2008 (Talk) 00:07, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: About "Notable fights and brawls", do we had a standard for events that "notable" enough to be here?--Jarodalien (talk) 12:48, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • As far as I can tell, no. I think the original editor just included some well-known fights that could be sourced from the references they had. Of course, this isn't optimal because such sections can easily turn into content farms, and I've been trying to move the more interesting content into the main history section while removing the less notable brawls. I'll continue to prune what is left of that section. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:04, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Jarodalien and Giants2008: Any update? Nikkimaria (talk) 20:15, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm not familiar with this sport, so right now my only concern is "Notable fights and brawls".--Jarodalien (talk) 14:57, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • I just finished moving material from that section into the history section. Hopefully, I can run through the article tomorrow and take care of any remaining cleanup issues. Giants2008 (Talk) 23:10, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • Okay, I've gone through and made copy-edits where I found issues. We should be fairly close to a keep here. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:20, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Closing note: This removal candidate has been kept, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please leave the {{featured article review}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:18, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
