I am nominating this for featured list removal because... The lead is nothing like it was when the list was promoted. The table is completely unreferenced now as well. No references to the winners, no references to support the characters the winners or nominees play, no references to support the nominees. No scope row tags. Cannot sort the main table. There's a trivia section which goes directly counter to MOS:TRIVIA. If you're colorblind you're out of luck trying to tell which is the winner from the tables. Changes came after a bogus "consensus" emerged on the talk page of Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play three years ago. @The Rambling Man: who made excellent points at Talk:Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play#Suggestions. The ownership of this page is toxic. Glad to get it demoted, but wished the better version could have prevailed.

Tentative delistit all went south on this edit which seemed to bring this list down by a considerable amount to somehow align it with other mediocre Tony Award lists. Unless something akin to the FL-consensus version is restored, this is a dead duck. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 09:04, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]- Holy moley, just re-read the talk page discussion noted above (at Talk:Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play#Suggestions) where basically that list was destroyed by HesioneHushabye and Angelic-alyssa. What a total mess. Perhaps someone needs to boldly restore each of these lists to the versions that had community consensus at FLC and then add the last few years of winners. What we have now for Tony lists is a complete car crash. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 09:11, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- We'd better keep our eyes peeled on seminal works like Academy Award for Best Actor, Laureus World Sports Award for Sportswoman of the Year, Pritzker Architecture Prize, List of Turner Prize winners and nominees etc... as well if the "Tony standard" is the one which appears to be advocated as "the new consensus".

- Ok, I've been bold and gone through the list and restored the table to the form it was in before the aforementioned edit above. The list has also been updated and the lead restored to its former glory. FYI, The Rambling Man, Therapyisgood. NapHit (talk) 16:50, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep thanks to special work from NapHit, with my sincerest thanks. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 18:11, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I would say generally that the Internet Broadway Database should be added as a reference above the "references" section because the reference in the table only references who played the winning character. I also would say the Tony Awards archived site should be added as a general reference too. The notes use Template:Ref which is depreciated and should be Template:Refn or Template:Efn.

- Therapyisgood I've added two refs to the top of the table. From what I gather, the practice of adding general refs is no considered good practice. The notes are using the efn template. Thanks for the comments. NapHit (talk) 12:30, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- NapHit There are a few dead links, namely references 1, 24, 25, 38, and 45, and the URL in the infobox. Thank you for your work so far. Therapyisgood (talk) 14:56, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I think we're done on this and the other such list Giants2008, PresN, so suggest they're both checked for closure. Cheers to everyone who made it work to restore these lists to their former glory. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 22:15, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Closing note: This candidate has been kept, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FLC/ar, and leave the {{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Giants2008 (Talk) 18:30, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
