Tags[edit]

I have added a couple tags. This article needs references and inline citations ASAP or else it risks being deleted or merged. This article requires clean up as well. The "List" is actually a template better used for navigation. You need to lay out it out within the body if you want something like that. Also, why is "Group" capitalized. I think this needs to be moved. It also appears to only be about MLS. Clubs in other countries have nonhooligan supporters groups. Cptnono (talk) 02:46, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried to address some of your comments by adding content and being more clear. I continue to include the list. If you know of a cleaner way to lay it out, please do so. You're right "Group" should not be capitalized. I made the correction. I discussed supporters clubs in other countries so as not to be overly focused on MLS. nmberg (talk) 12:05, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the world tag. The template is a concern since it is in the wrong place as well as it only addressing MLS. All of the other divisions in Canada and the US along with the groups that are supporters groups (no capitalization because it is a description and not a proper noun) are completely disregarded.

It also still needs sources. For example, it does not appear that the second source does not support its line completely. There is too much original research in the article.

I am warming up to it now that it is less US centric and differentiates it from the other styles of groups a little more.Cptnono (talk) 08:11, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all the helpful guidance. I've cited more of my sources. There are supporters groups in the second and third tier leagues in the US and Canada. But, those leagues are in such a state of upheaval and the near-term survival of those leagues is questionable...so I didn't think they deserved encyclopedic mention. nmberg (talk) 01:41, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability does not necessarily dictate content so making a mention is fine. Also, the template of one league in one country does not provide an appropriate world view of the subject. You could also change the article to some variant of" support in the MLS/US and Canada" or merged into the MLS article if it really is only about the MLS. I'm alright with it as "Supporters groups", but the article will need to be at least broad in its coverage of the subject to be even considered decent/good in the assesment scale.Cptnono (talk) 10:04, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I took out the template and mentioned the lower tier leagues. Nmberg (talk) 11:19, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think the 7-Line Army (New York Mets) definitely deserves a mention. In fact, it already has its own Wikipedia page that could be linked here. Can you add it to the list of examples of supporters’ groups, along with those of the Dodgers and the A’s? Spark2212 (talk) 08:28, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
