Implementation of consensus infobox changes for current seasons

[edit]

At Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_172#Designating_current_seasons_in_infoboxes, I read clear consensus to use text rather than images to designate the current season. I went ahead and made the change at {{Infobox award}}, but since I'm not a sports person, I'll leave the implementation for sports templates such as {{Infobox football league}} to you all here. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 21:35, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a DNAU tag to this thread; feel free to remove it once you have finished implementation. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 20:49, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Al Jaish Stadium

[edit]
Notice

The article Al Jaish Stadium has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Delete for lack of significant coverage. I did my own search as required, and found nothing but directories and only two hits on Google news. Tagged as Unreferenced for 12 years and for Notability concerns for 7 months.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time. Bearian (talk) 18:31, 5 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Power of 10 mass breakage

[edit]

It seems recent changes to UK Athletics "Power of 10" statistics system have broken our links to athlete profiles. It is linked from the articles of most current British track athletes, mostly from {{Sports links}} and {{Power of 10}}, which pick up from Wikidata Property:P2090 "Power of 10 athlete ID"

For example, the link for Phily Bowden changed from:

https://www.thepowerof10.info/athletes/profile.aspx?athleteid=92970       to
https://www.powerof10.uk/Home/Athlete/25aae67e-a27a-4dbf-b0d8-5905b0a0bb9b

The former links, which we have many (a thousand or more?) are broken. This comes after a period of a week of downtime on the site, which clearly was them retooling. It seems to be a permanent issue. So:

  • Is this being discussed anywhere, or am I the first to notice?
  • What shall we do about it?

If it was just a URL format change, I'd be commenting on the relevant template pages. But I can't see an obvious way to obtain the new athlete identifier (which seems to be a UUID) from the old integer one. Without that, it's not a job a bot could readily do. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 12:19, 12 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Notability question: Match fixing in [country's] football

[edit]

Multiple articles were recently created about football match fixing in different countries. I draftified Match-fixing in Tanzanian football for being AI generated, but generally I do not know if these articles are notable enough to be created in the first place. The other articles are Match-fixing in Ugandan football and Match-fixing in Kenyan football. Input on whether I should nominate for deletion is appreciated. Vegantics (talk) 14:06, 8 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

When you have reliable sources with "Kenyan match-fixing" in the title, that's pretty much a slamdunk. Ravenswing 16:06, 8 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Notability for "nation at the (year) Olympics"-type articles?

[edit]

(Note: I originally posted this discussion at the Teahouse before realizing it would probably be a better fit for here.)


Hi everyone, I recently made the articles Yemen at the 2020 Summer Paralympics and Zimbabwe at the 2020 Summer Paralympics, since there seem to be several "nation at <multi-sport event>"-type articles missing despite the fact these nations competed. Another editor has raised concerns about them not being notable, and unfortunately neither of us are an expert on sports articles, so I wanted to ask here for further advice.

There's plenty of coverage on the 2020 Summer Paralympics themselves (it's definitely a notable event), but as for these specific countries' performances, there isn't very much. Neither one won a medal or had anything incredibly significant happen, they just competed as usual. This doesn't seem to be unusual for these sorts of articles, so I thought there was precedent - I brought up Liberia at the 2020 Summer Paralympics and Zimbabwe at the 2024 Summer Paralympics as examples, although the other editor (correctly) mentioned this was a case of WP:OTHER. I had thought WP:NOLYMPICS suggested these would be notable (Significant coverage is likely to exist for nations participating at an individual Summer or Winter Olympic or Paralympic Games), although it only says SIGCOV is likely to exist. There don't seem to be any other guidelines on these types of articles.

Unfortunately I'm not really sure what to do here. There's definitely secondary sources for the Games themselves, but for Yemen/Zimbabwe's specific performances (or any other country that didn't win a medal, for that matter), I'm not sure. There are probably news outlets covering the results of certain events, but I don't see much point in including those, as they're just going to be copies of the official results anyways without any relevant commentary (hence why I directly cited the official results books as a source).

My question is this: do "<nation> at the <year> <event>" articles (and also, "<sport> at the <year> <event>" articles, since they're also mentioned in WP:NOLYMPICS) generally count as notable, assuming the event they're a part of is also notable, or can they only be created if the country in question has done something significant (other than just competing) during the Games? This specific case is about the Paralympics, but I would also be interested in other multi-sport events like the World Games, Commonwealth Games, Asian Games, etc... as I've been trying to fill in Wikipedia's coverage of those as well.

(If it helps, I've also made similar articles for the World Games - the participation of Aruba, Jordan, Kuwait, Montenegro, Nepal, and North Macedonia in 2022, Iceland in 2017, and the "sport at event" articles for gateball in 2001, aikido in 2001, and tug of war in 2005 and 2013.)

Thanks in advance. Tymewalk (talk) 19:03, 30 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Generally, as long as the nation did compete at the games, they have been considered notable. We have never deleted an article on a country at the Olympics / Paralympics and I don't see why we should start now. Usually it is possible to develop quality articles if deep enough searches are performed; see for example Tuvalu at the 2024 Summer Olympics (with only two athletes) which was developed into a GA. I'd be a "keep" if they were taken to AFD. Note that I am less certain on how acceptable articles like this are for the World Games, Commonwealth Games etc. – I just know that Olympics/Paralympics generally have been considered notable. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:02, 30 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for the reply, I'll go ahead and keep making these kinds of articles then. Both countries (as well as the other countries which I plan to create pages for) did compete and are listed in the results books for the Paralympics, and the same goes for the World Games participants as well.
    Do you know of any sources which could be helpful in expanding coverage, outside of the official results? I see Inside the Games was used on the Tuvalu article, and I've seen that site turn up in searches for the World Games, but I would be interested to know if there's any other dedicated Olympics sites which could provide additional information. Tymewalk (talk) 20:56, 30 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    My personal opinion, just based on seeing dozens of these pages over the years while maintaining the infobox and related templates, is that if all you can find are results tables, it is best to just redirect to the main Games article (see my comment below). If you can find independent sources about a specific country's participation, it might be reasonable to create the article, but I'm not sure simply "they competed" is enough to merit an article (especially if they didn't medal). Primefac (talk) 21:24, 30 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    I asked this at the Teahouse as well (since someone there told me something similar), but should something be done about the existing articles which only cite primary sources then? There are a lot of these articles - aside from the Liberia 2020 and Zimbabwe 2024 examples, there are articles for the Paralympics (Eritrea at the 2024 Summer Paralympics), World Games (China at the 2022 World Games, Mexico at the 2017 World Games), Commonweath Games (Anguilla at the 2022 Commonwealth Games), Asian Games (Kuwait at the 2014 Asian Games), and presumably the same applies for other multi-sport events like these. The Olympics themselves tend to be better, but there are still articles which only cite sources from the International Olympic Committee or other sporting federations (Oman at the 2024 Summer Olympics for example). I don't have an exact count, but I would not be surprised if there's at least a couple hundred, seeing as how this applies to nearly every recurring sporting event like this. Tymewalk (talk) 15:47, 2 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Again this is me speaking personally, but Eritrea had one person and no medals so I would redirect to Athletics at the 2024 Summer Paralympics. China, Mexico, and Kuwait all medalled so those should be expanded if possible. I'd say Anguilla could probably be redirected as well since there were no top-half finishers in any event, and despite having a lot of athletes they're all redlinked. I don't think we necessarily need to hunt down these sorts of stats-only pages, but when I find them in the wild I tend to redirect them (i.e. an "as I find them" sort of thing). Primefac (talk) 20:43, 2 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    We sometimes get these sorts if nation at event titles come up at RfD. If there is more coverage than just X participated then they are usually kept or retargetted to wherever that coverage is. If there is no information at all, or it seems likely there is scope for a full article they are usually deleted. If there is only a mention then it can go either way.
    In terms of target, sport at edition / event (e.g. Athletics at the 2020 Summer Olympics, Snowboarding at the Winter Olympics), edition (e.g. 2020 Summer Olympics) or country at event (e.g. Oman at the Summer Olympics) are the most common, but I've seen sport in country and country national sports team articles as targets as well. In pretty much all cases the best target is the one that has the most information relevant to the title rather than being consistent with similarly titled articles. Thryduulf (talk) 22:31, 2 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    While your "as long as" statement might be true for the Olympics, for other competitions I'm not sure that's 100% guaranteed. Looking at the navbox for Sri Lanka at the Asian Games, four of them are redirects, and all of those four were redirected to that year's Asian Games article following an AFD. Primefac (talk) 21:24, 30 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Looking at the AFD discussion and how the article looked at the time it was deleted (this is the article for the 2002 Asian Games, but the same seems to apply for all four of them), I would argue this situation is slightly different than the average "country at games" article. These articles had next to no content whatsoever, only a mention of how many medals were won (not even who won the medals or which events they were won in), and added no information not already found in the medal table. There are other articles which, while they only cite official sources, provide these details, as well as additional details like scores and tournament results (for example, Indonesia at the 2002 Asian Games and Nepal at the 2002 Asian Games, two countries at the same event). I don't know if these articles would count as notable or not, but I think they're at least in a better state than the AFD'd Sri Lanka ones. Tymewalk (talk) 05:40, 1 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

While this has been discussed elsewhere, my opinion remains the same, that being these types of articles are, at least for the Olympics and Paralympics, useful and valid navigational aids for readers in accordance with WP:NLIST. I certainly don't think we should be deleting any of them, but of course if viable sources are uncovered discussing the delegation, let's add them to make the project better. Let'srun (talk) 00:29, 5 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Let'srun: Do you have a link to some of those discussions? As I mentioned originally, WP:NOLYMPICS doesn't mention very much, and I would be interested to know if there's some kind of precedent for keeping these.
Admittedly, this is my first time running into notability issues like this, so I'm not entirely sure what to do. If articles which only reference results books aren't notable, there's quite a few which would have to be deleted (the ones I linked above, among others). If they are notable, the missing pages should probably be created (2020 Summer Paralympics#Participating National Paralympic Committees still has 8 redlinks, for example, and I know I've seen events where "<nation> at the <event>" just redirects back to "<event>" instead of anything which would provide details). I would just WP:BEBOLD and make them, but I don't want to make dozens of articles if they're just going to get sent to AfD anyways and waste everyone's time. Would it be worth proposing a change to WP:NOLYMPICS to explicitly cover this? Tymewalk (talk) 02:09, 5 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I can't find the exact discussion, but it was at WikiProject Olympics. No, I don't see any reason for a change to the existing guidelines, personally, but I would too advocate to keep any such article taken to AfD. At this point, wikipedia appears to be much closer to removing the rest of WP:NSPORTS than adding anything new, as seen in [[1]].Let'srun (talk) 21:08, 5 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply. These articles are my first time working on sports-related pages, so I appreciate the insight from someone more experienced with the topic. :) Tymewalk (talk) 02:37, 6 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
NOLYMPICS says "Significant coverage is likely to exist for nations participating at an individual Summer or Winter Olympic or Paralympic Games, e.g., United States at the 2008 Summer Olympics or Great Britain at the 2002 Winter Paralympics". ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 21:47, 5 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
That's true, but another editor raised the concern that it only says SIGCOV is likely to exist, not that it does, so no presumed notability per WP:NOLYMPICS. (It also doesn't mention other events like the World Games, which I was also making articles for.) Neither of us are an expert on sports-related articles, which is why I asked for further guidance here. Tymewalk (talk) 02:28, 6 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
What's the point of NOLYMPICS then? Why have a guideline that doesn't mean anything? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 16:48, 6 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea. It does link to Wikipedia:WikiProject Olympics/Manual of Style, which is helpful for writing articles, but doesn't say anything one way or the other about whether pages with only primary sources are okay notability-wise. (One of the articles it links as an example, Ice hockey at the 2002 Winter Olympics, only cites sources from the International Ice Hockey Federation, the Olympics, and sports databases, but it's the only one.) Tymewalk (talk) 02:57, 7 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is it a WP:GNG pass? If yes, then yes. If no, then no. Typically they will be a GNG pass but we shouldn’t have eg articles where all we have are stats, or articles where the team was one person. Redirects can be used to preserve page history.
Previous pages were created on the assumption that these article were always notable, but times have (very correctly) changed. FOARP (talk) 12:53, 6 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Paralympics

[edit]

I'm not sure it's correct to treat Summer/Winter Games the same as Paralympic Games. While some countries seem to give SIGCOV to their Paralympics teams, we have A LOT of "xxxxx at xxxx Paralympics Games" that are mere sub-stubs sourced only to databases and non-independent sources. E.g., Luxembourg at the 1980 Summer Paralympics (one bronze medal, sub-stub doesn't even identify the athlete or the event), Uganda at the 1976 Summer Paralympics (one competitor, no medals), Luxembourg at the 1976 Summer Paralympics (two competitors, no medals), Guatemala at the 1976 Summer Paralympics (one bronze medal, but the article is a completely useless sub-stub that doesn't event identify the athlete or the event!), Ecuador at the 1976 Summer Paralympics (zero medals, sub-stub doesn't even say how many athletes or which events entered!), Colombia at the 1976 Summer Paralympics (same as Ecuador), Bahamas at the 1976 Summer Paralympics (same as Ecuador), Uganda at the 1972 Summer Paralympics (two competitors, no medals), Peru at the 1972 Summer Paralympics (one competitor, no medals), Bahamas at the 1972 Summer Paralympics (one competitor, no medals), Egypt at the 1972 Summer Paralympics (one competitor, no medals), Malta at the 1968 Summer Paralympics (no medals, sub-stub doesn't even identify athletes or events), Fiji at the 1964 Summer Paralympics (one athlete, no medals). Cbl62 (talk) 16:38, 6 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Many of these are articles created out of pure completionism. Where the topic is already covered completely on other pages, no need for pointless repetition. FOARP (talk) 04:56, 7 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

(Getting into the weeds on) redirect targets

[edit]

It seems like the general sentiment in the sections above is that Games appearances where the country did not medal should be redirected barring exceptional circumstances (e.g. they actually meet GNG for some reason). My question is, what should be the final target? For example, Ecuador at the 1976 Summer Paralympics could be redirected to 1976 Summer Paralympics or to Ecuador at the Paralympics (I have seen both). For a page like Uganda at the 1976 Summer Paralympics, an additional option would be a redirect to Athletics at the 1976 Summer Paralympics since their sole competitor was in that event. Figured I'd split off a section to discuss where best to put these things so that there is some sort of consensus on the matter (and a discussion that we can point to if questioned on it). I figure there are 2-3 possible targets:

  1. Redirect to that year's Games
  2. Redirect to the "Country at Games" overview article
  3. (if only one competitor) redirect to the Sport article for that year's Games

I have seen all of these in the wild, but I think I see most of #1 most often (e.g. see infobox at Sri Lanka at the Asian Games), and would probably put my support behind that as being the standard. Primefac (talk) 11:30, 8 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

As I said above, In pretty much all cases the best target is the one that has the most information relevant to the title rather than being consistent with similarly titled articles. In other words, pick the best target on a case by case basis. Thryduulf (talk) 11:42, 8 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. Even while I was writing this section I was finding counter-examples to a few of my examples and instead of rationalising them out I just ignored them... Doing what makes the most sense is a much better idea than being rigid on a set of rules. Primefac (talk) 12:11, 8 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
What about where there isn't any good place to redirect to? Estonia at the 2020 Summer Paralympics, for example, has athletes competing in two sports, so there's no one target for "<sport> at <games>". Estonia at the Paralympics doesn't cover any one Games specifically (instead, it links to articles for each individual games, including 2020). Redirecting to that year's Games doesn't provide any useful information to a reader looking for a specific country's participation in the Games. As far as I can tell, the only place which currently provides all the information for Estonia's participation in the 2020 Games on one page is Estonia at the 2020 Summer Paralympics itself. (Estonia's delegation consisted of 5 athletes and is far from the only country with this problem, I'm sure if I looked long enough I could find larger teams with no secondary sources as well.) There is no good redirect target here.
On the note of Sri Lanka at the Asian Games, as I mentioned above, I think it's a bad example. The articles that were AfD'd there had absolutely no information outside of a general medal count (they didn't even mention who competed, see 2002's article before it was deleted as an example). Redirecting seems sensible there since there was so little information, but the articles I'm talking about (including my own) are all ones which actually list details outside of medal counts. It's also worth noting Sri Lanka did win medals in 2002, and the article was deleted anyways. I'm not contesting that this article shouldn't have been turned into a redirect - as I said, it consisted only of a medal count which could be found elsewhere - but if nations which medal are notable, then there's also no reason Sri Lanka in 2002 couldn't be recreated.

I would say Estonia at the 2020 Summer Paralympics shouldn't be redirected unless all the content is merged somewhere, and at first glance there isn't a target it wouldn't overwhelm to a degree where guidelines say it should be split. Thryduulf (talk) 16:01, 8 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
So, as I understand it:
Would this mean that countries which participate in more than one sport count as notable for their own pages even if they didn't win a medal or have SIGCOV (the second bullet point)?
Apologies if this seems like restating the obvious, I'm honestly having trouble understanding what the general consensus on pages like these (if there is one) is. As I said above, I'd like to expand Wikipedia's coverage on these topics (Olympic/Paralympic Games seem to usually be well-covered, but for non-Olympic/Paralympic events, many pages for countries, events, and sometimes sports are completely missing), but I also don't want to make new articles if they're just going to be deleted for failing to meet notability guidelines.

"It seems like the general sentiment in the sections above is that Games appearances where the country did not medal should be redirected barring exceptional circumstances" There's no consensus for that above. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 14:23, 8 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I also don't see how one can possibly come to that conclusion. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:06, 8 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
