Jayden Daniels feature article nomination

My feature article nomination for Jayden Daniels is at risk for archival after receiving no comments since starting it in May, so I'm posting here for awareness. Ideally it would be reviewed by editors from outside the NFL space, but it's received some compliments from a few project members and I'd hate to see it stuck in nomination hell simply from being missed/ignored. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 18:30, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

I left a comment there about some potentially questionable sources I spotted. Left guide (talk) 00:12, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

When those sources are addressed, whatever they are, then it should go forward, not archived. You did a great job! Bringingthewood (talk) 00:16, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

Keep it going, D93, I believe this accomplishment could be reached! Bringingthewood (talk) 21:29, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

I pinged all involved for final comments/suggestions, but it was archived as it "received no supports". I'll just renominate it in two weeks and explicitly ask the previous commentators if they support promotion or not to avoid wasting time with another nomination. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 00:26, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

@Dissident93: That strikes me as weird. You've been doing some very nice work there improving the article to meet a wide range of expectations. I don't hang out at FARs in general, and my time and attention gets randomly divided sometimes, but it seems excessively bureaucratic and rulesy to claim that it has to archive just because nobody technically voted "support", especially since consensus is about discussion and not voting. If the required wait time to re-nominate is only two weeks, I guess it's not so bad though. Left guide (talk) 03:56, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

I agree with @Left guide. If there was a Yay or Nay somewhere on one of these pages and I missed it, I apologize. Please send me a seeing eye dog when things matter. ;) Bringingthewood (talk) 04:04, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

Strange that the rationale wasn't mentioned at "Closing note" but was instead buried mid-page. Not a very "featured" process. —Bagumba (talk) 04:08, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

{{Infobox NFL single game}}

Right now, {{Infobox NFL single game}} has two parameters that build out the location of the game: |stadium= and |city=. For example, in Instant Replay Game, |stadium=Lambeau Field and |city=Green Bay, Wisconsin, U.S. creates the continuous string:

Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin, U.S.

I wonder if it would be better to force a break in between the two, so that the string comes out as:

Lambeau Field
Green Bay, Wisconsin, U.S.

This has two key benefits: (1) it likely prevents weird line breaks in the infobox, and (2) it prevents WP:SEAOFBLUE concerns, which I had an editor bring up recently on a DYK I had on the Main Page. Honestly, I also think it reads nice and cleaner. I have seen users jerry rig this by adding their own break after the |stadium= parameter, but then this has the weird affect of keeping the comma after the stadium.

That definitely makes sense to me. Hatman31 (he/him · talk · contribs) 01:50, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

I implemented it. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:35, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Questionable conference championship redirects

Hey man im josh appears to have serially created redirects for individual conference championship games where the calendar year in the redirect title differs from the calendar year the game was actually played, which is plausibly confusing or misleading to readers. An example of this problem can be seen in how 2010 NFC championship game points to the game that was played in 2011, and 2011 NFC championship game points to the game that was played in 2012. It would be an extreme amount of WP:RFD paperwork I'd prefer to avoid if possible, so I'd like to see if a project consensus can be reached on how to handle these. Or Hey man im josh, would you consider self-deleting these as WP:G7? Left guide (talk) 08:54, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

There are also capitalized versions at Category:AFC Championship Games and Category:NFC Championship Games. Left guide (talk) 09:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

This confusion is further compounded by the fact that individual annual "playoff" redirects appear to point to tournaments based on when the games were actually played. For example, 2010 NFL playoffs points to 2009–10 NFL playoffs, and 2011 NFL playoffs points to 2010–11 NFL playoffs. So there's also an inconsistency in how these are treated.
