New York City FC
- ... that the New York Mets objected to New York CityTemplate:`s plans to build a new stadium within sight of Citi Field?
- Reviewed: Iva Withers
Created by Falastur2 (talk), Mosmof (talk). Nominated by The C of E (talk) at 17:08, 23 May 2013 (UTC).
- Comment: Don't obfuscate the article link with a different subject. I've proposed ALT1 below to resolve this issue. Mindmatrix 18:58, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
- ALT1: that the New York Mets objected to the plans by New York City FC to build a new stadium within sight of Citi Field?
- Comment: I was going to nominate this myself until I realised it was already nominated. Personally I would've gone for a pull just about NYCFC being MLS' 20th franchise, and possibly mentioning its ownership. Seems more broad and defining than a comment about the Mets opposing stadium plans, but that's just me. Falastur2 Talk 23:16, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: ...not to mention that shouldn't it refer to the "FC" on the end? Anyone who hasn't heard of the team launch will not understand why the City itself needs a stadium? Falastur2 Talk 08:20, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
