GA concerns
I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:
- At over 10,000 words, WP:TOOBIG recommends that the article be trimmed or WP:SPINOUT. After quicklying skimming the article, I think there is information that can be cut. Some suggestions on what to move/trim are below.
- "Franchise history" should be sub-divided into level 3 headings for easier reading.
- The captions on some of the images are much too long. This information should be in the article body and cited.
- Records vs opponents and playoff records should be spun out into new articles or removed, as this is too much detail.
- Various team leaders should be moved into a new article as this is too much detail.
- I do not think the "NFL All-Decade and Anniversary team selections" is necessary for this article and can be removed.
- The "Patriots All-Decade teams" can be spun out into its own article.
- "Patriots Anniversary teams" Can be moved to its own article.
- "Pro Bowl selections" is too much detail and can be removed.
- "Controversies" section is, in my opinion, inherantly not-NPOV as it focuses on negative aspects. I think this section should be moved into the history section, where its impact on the team culture can be interpreted with other team historical events.
- There are uncited passages throughout the article.
- There is an extensive "Further reading" section: should these be used as inline citations or removed from the article?
Is anyone willing to help resolve the above concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 02:04, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- As much as I absolutely despise the Patriots, and I do not regularly edit in football, I may attempt to fix the things you've listed here. Several of them seem quite simple. As for uncited passages, it would depend on the era. I'm not paying for print sources to save it, if those are necessary. mftp dan oops 12:09, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Template:Redirect category shell Are you still working on this? If not, would you be interested in bringing this to GAR outlining the remaining concerns? Z1720 (talk) 01:04, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- I'm already working on another GAR at the moment and I'll be busy for most of the rest of the week. mftp dan oops 01:37, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
