Featured article review needed

This 2009 WP:FA promotion has not been maintained to WP:WIAFA standard. Unless these issues can be addressed, the article should be submitted for a Featured article review:

MOS:SANDWICH and poor image layout.
Uncited text.
Prose review needed, sample: The fans most enduring fanzines is A Love Supreme.
Multiple short choppy sections and one-sentence paragraphs.
Listiness in Popular culture section.
Yikes, WP:CITATION OVERKILL and prose issue combined: Other nicknames used by the media and include the Mackems (believed to be related to the ship building industry and a name for inhabitants of Sunderland) or the Wearsiders, as a reference to the river that the city and broader region of Wearside sits alongside, and in contrast to their Tyneside rivals Newcastle United.[217][218][219][220]
MOS:DTAB
Citation cleanup needed including bare URLs.
IMDB as a source.

This is only a sampling of issues. A top-to-bottom review is needed to maintain FA status. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:25, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It would never have passed current FA standard originally to be fair. Koncorde (talk) 21:44, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

After taking a quick skim, I think the above concerns by SandyGeorgia are still valid, particularly the SANDWICH concerns at the beginning of the article and short, stubby sections. I also think the article needs a trim, as it is quite long and I think lots of information can be cut (like most of the "Club officials" section) or summarised more effectively. Is anyone interested in fixing up this article and bringing it back to FA standards? Z1720 (talk) 13:21, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Honours list

On the Honours list is says "First division/Premier League" I think this is misleading as they have never won the premier League and how it is presented seems to insinuate that they won a mixture of both, I believe this should be updated to just be "first division" BBennett1994 (talk) 19:12, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

BBennett1994 I agree and made some changes. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 19:29, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for making the changes, I agree it looks better now BBennett1994 (talk) 19:44, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
