This is a 2008 promotion whose FAC nominator, Kim Williams has not edited Wikipedia for over three years, and that has had citation needed tags since 2016. The Records and statistics section is stubby and in need of updating. A MOS review is also needed-- I will detail those issues if someone engages.

Source review

• 1st ref has only title: "The Nottingham announces Panthers sponsorship"
• Another incomplete reference: "Game Night Programme vs Basingstoke Bison, 2 April 2006"
• Close paraphrasing:

Article: "During the close season of 1960 the British National League collapsed and the Nottingham Panthers were disbanded. Ice hockey would not return to Nottingham for the next two decades" Source: "That would be the last title win of the original Panthers with the league disbanding at the close of the 1960 season. Panthers hockey wouldn’t be seen in the city again for another two decades."

Not too bad, some effort has been put into rephrasing, but I fear that the end of the sentence is too similar.

• Article says the new building of the National Ice Centre cost £40 million to construct, yet source says £36. The remaining £4 are allocated by the EU, not for the building, but for development of the square in front of the centre. The source also doesn't mention John Laing plc.

I may take a second look, if I feel inclined. Eisfbnore ^(会話) 03:48, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Move to FARC – The article has a bunch of unsourced content, which requires better access to relevant sources than I (or most other editors) have. I tried doing some work on this one a while back, but there was too much that I couldn't cite, and without someone who can properly source that material, I fear the chances of saving this article aren't great.

• Delist – No work has been done to resolve any of the issues raised. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:12, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist. Unsourced statements from January 2016. DrKay (talk) 15:58, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist That's quite a lot of 'citation needed' tags for a Featured Article. I keep finding little errors across the article, such as in the current squad, where the key is either "*" or nothing and then the data has "*" or "**". The Last Season's Players table is completely unsourced; the leaders list and the captains list are unsourced. The article currently does not meet the criteria.
