I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it to be up to featured list quality. This is my second NFL team seasons list and I will, as always, do my best to respond prompty to all comments. Hey man im josh ( talk) 02:38, 2 January 2024 (UTC) reply
During the team's worst season in 1980 the fans began to wear paper bags over their heads to games and started to call the team the "'Aints". The Saints did not have their first winning-season until 1987, their twenty-first season in the league. That same season, the Saints made their first playoff appearance.to be at the end, perhaps move it earlier in the paragraph?

"Refs" is an abbreviation, so use the template– Done
It feels somewhat clunky...– I see what you've getting at. I've moved the sentences around a bit, let me know your thoughts.
When there are multiple coaches in a season, I think you should put a note next to their record specifying what exactly those numbers mean. IMO it's not completely clear that it's their record otherwise.– I feel as though it's contextually clear, how strongly do you feel about this?
Coaches are wikilinked after their first mention, not needed.– MOS:DUPLINK allows for re-linking within tables. I've kept it consistent within the list, but it is my personal preference to re-link within lists that I work on.
Those are all the comments I have. Support in light of there being no major issues. Steelkamp ( talk) 09:38, 19 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Is it necessary to have the initialism "AFL" in the lead when the AFL is not mentioned again in the lead?
NFL playoffs could be linked in the earlier mention of "playoffs" rather than later in the same sentence.– Good catch, fixed.
During the team's... Is this sentence strictly necessary for this list? I think it's a bit too much information for a list like this.– I think a brief mention of history is sometimes relevant, especially given the context that their first winning season was their twenty-first in the league. Other NFL articles have brief mentions of history, especially those with historic bad streaks. The nickname is also somewhat relevant as it comes up whenever the Saints aren't playing well. A similar one would have been List of Detroit Lions seasons mentioning some of the negatives of my beloved franchise.
Could you consider using Template:Nowrap in the head coaches column...– Good suggestion, done. I'll implement this on other season articles I've worked/am working on moving forward.
Only minor comments that don't affect my support:
