Checklist
I have put together a check list that I usually go through myself before nominating a list like this for FL. I've providing it here for any other editors.
Lead
Is the lead long enough (at least roughly 1,500 characters)?
Does the lead begin with the standard: "The <school> football program is a college football team that represents the <University> in the <Division> of the <Conference> in the National Collegiate Athletic Association."?
Does the lead include coaches that have won bowl games?
Does the lead include coaches that have won conference and national championships?
Does the lead contain the number of games the school has played and the number of seasons?
Does the lead include coaches that have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame?
Does the lead contain basic information on the conferences the school has played in?
Does the lead contain a summary of the coaches with:
the most games coaches
the most years coached
the most total wins
the highest winning percentage (if this coach only served one season, consider including the coach with the highest winning percentage that coaches more than one season)
the lowest winning percentage
Does the lead include the coaches that have won coaching honors?
Does the lead contain the current head coach including the date (or month & year) the coach was hired (with citation)?
Does the lead contain an image of the current head coach? If no image is available, does the lead contain an image of any coach?
Does the image have appropriate alt text?
Key
Does the key contain only items that are in the table headers?
Does the conference championship key contain a note that says when the school joined a conference?
Does the ties key contain a note that says when overtime rules were introduced (with citation)?
Does the winning percentage (O% typically) cintain a note that says how it is calculated?
Coaches table
Do all columns sort correctly in multiple browsers (Safari has a sort bug, so it makes sense to always check it as well)?
Do all em dashed columns sort below 0 (meaning em dashes should sort below 0 when in descending order)?
Is the Award column unsortable?
If there is an interim coach, does it sort in the correct placement (after the coach replaced when in ascending order)?
Are all coaching awards that have Wikipedia articles linked?
Are all coaching awards sourced if not contained in the general reference?
Are en dashes (–) used to separate the year ranges and em dashes (—) in the empty columns?
If not using the {{Winning percentage}} template, do all winning percentages calculate correctly?
Do the Hall of Fame coaches:
have proper shading
have appropriate superscripted indicator (i.e. dagger)
are sourced from the HoF website
Other
Are the references using the "references-small" div class?
Is there a consistent date format in all references?
Are all references using a consistent format, whether it be manual formatting or the cite templates?
Are all appropriate references archived using
WebCitation (optional)?
Do all navigation templates transcluded at the bottom of the article contain a link to this list?
