Oppose Before I even read the details of the article, the fact that a {{unsourced}} template exists in the
Longest rivers that have probably existed in the past section immediately disqualifies this article. Please go back and reference this section before considering this list a featured one. In addition, the word "probably" in the section name probably isn't such a good idea. Can you reword it so it (pithily) suggests that some sources believe these river existed? In addition, a lack of inline citations poses a major problem to this list. --Fbv65edel /

Oppose Sorry, not even close enough to say "no cigar"
Title is misleading. It's obviously a
List of rivers longer than 1000 km. The fact they are ordered by length is just a natural extension of the scope.
Maybe that "River systems that may have existed in the past" section would be better off as "Hypothesized former rivers"?
Agree that it's under-cited: every entry should have separate citations for the numbers.
Choice (twice the Nile?) and position (could be better spread) of images are dubious.
The drainage area and discharge columns are mostly empty, a tribute to not looking for enough sources. I'm sure a large number of these can be filled up by looking around for sources. I recall an Atlas of Canada with drainage area for most important rivers that could fill several of the empty ones.
Why is there a
dagger at the beginning of "Definition of length"??
Comment Only the first instance of a country's name should be wikilinked; use either "USA" or "United States" throughout - not a mixture.

comment the colors for Asia and Europe are too close to readily differentiate; can a different color/shade be chosen for one of them?
