New York City FC

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)
  • I read it yesterday, but I admit I came back to this page and then realised I was in a rush to leave home to go out (I forgot I would have internet access here as well) and I clearly paid no attention to the alt when I wrote that last comment. You have me, I withdraw the last comment, though I still wonder whether the alt would serve better by commenting on the founding of the club, which is an event which has generated a lot of interest as well as controversy in and of itself. I don't want to make this sound like I'm absolutely fixated on this though. If it ends up being about the Mets and Citi field then so be it. I just wanted to throw out the alternative. If you disagree, or even aren't sure, then by all means choose to disregard my suggestion. It was only ever intended to be a suggestion. Falastur2 Talk 08:41, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
