WP:URFA/2020

This featured article currently fails WP:FACR #1c. It is not comprehensive - the 2008/09, 2009/10, most of the 2010/11, the 2011/12, 2012/13, and 2013/14 seasons are not included in this article. We're essentially missing most of the last third of Brewer's career, which means this article isn't comprehensive. Hog Farm _Talk 03:05, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm: As the original nominator of this article at FAC, I'll give it a good scrubbing over the next little bit here to ensure it's back to to FA standard. – Nurmsook! ^talk... 21:50, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I've got newspapers.com access through WP:LIBRARY, so if you have trouble tracking down something, ping me and I can take a look to see if I can find that in newspapers. Hog Farm _Talk 23:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Nurmsook: Were you able to update this article? Is there any information on this person post-2015? Z1720 (talk) 19:33, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to formally notice this article, as there are still comprehensive concerns noted above and the "Transactions" section is uncited. Is anyone willing to fix this up? Z1720 (talk) 05:57, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for flagging this again. I've gone in today and addressed some of these concerns. I have added prose on the 08-09, 09-10, and 10-11 seasons to complete the St. Louis Blues section. Still need to address the 11-12 and 12-13 seasons, and expand on the 13-14 season to complete the Tampa Bay Lightning section. Citations have also been added to the Awards and achievements and Transactions sections and I have added a couple notable achievements that came up post-retirement. Will continue to work away at those remaining seasons. – Nurmsook! ^talk... 21:30, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I checked this article because Brewer's 45th birthday is in April and I was thinking of nominating it for TFA. If this article is ready in time, we might still be able to do that. Z1720 (talk) 21:41, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
