I am nominating this for featured list because we need more FLCs on chapter lists and I have been working on this for months now, but had to leave for a two-month long Wikibreak back in August. I believe this chapter list meets the FLC criteria. Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 00:33, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ref names should not be in all caps
Refs should list the site's publisher? You have random house refs under Del Ray as the publisher.
You should reword the international release part. Is there a reliable source that says Fairy Tail is only published in those regions? Otherwise, it should be something like "released in regions such as..."
You can link the publishing companies in the lead, at least for star comics.
"40 tankōbonvolumes" needs space. Add nbsp; between the number and the unit
I find the third paragraph confusing overall.
The sources in the paragraph don't seem to back anything up there.
Later noted, some references contradict the release dates.

I'll take a closer look at the sources one by one later. Also, is it that easy to get FL for chapter lists? I'd be submitting them in hoards if it is. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 23:12, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the really late reply, but I am trying to help update the article as well by adding news about digital releases. I'll see what I can do about the rest. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 03:41, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just one fix I think needs to be done. "The chapters are being collected in tankōbon format since December 15, 2006." - "Are being" is that really proper grammar? It just strikes me as really off. Rewording the whole sentence might be the only way around it though. Otherwise it looks good from a few spot checks, but I am totally new to this process.

Oppose The references do not support the release dates. Until such a time that they do this shouldn't be a featured list. --Lightlowemon (talk) 01:04, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see now. Some of the dates don't match the sourcing. Should be addressed. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 01:17, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weren't those the sources you were referring too? --Lightlowemon (talk) 01:19, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I forgot I mentioned that already. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 01:22, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Sorry, SJones, but I'm not really comfortable with this list. It's a summary of three other lists (List of Fairy Tail manga volumes (1–15), et al.), and adds no new information beyond what they have. Maybe if it was actually those three lists put together, with the chapter summaries, replacing the three, but if it's just going to be shortened forms of the same tables I don't see the purpose of the list. --Pres N 00:02, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose it's nothing but a summary, and adds nothing to the other lists. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:05, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
