Do you have a source that confirms that it will be held in December? I can't find any info in it. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 10:19, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Una Voce Per San Marino details

Oiko Times has reported some details for Una Voce Per San Marino, and it seems too detailed to be fake. Should it (the "to be decided" section for San Marino) be added to the page? Source: https://oikotimes.co.uk/una-voce-per-san-marino-final-on-february-19/

I guess. WP:ESC/S lists Oikotimes as semi-reliable, which means that it "can be used in Eurovision articles but not for citing important or controversial statements". ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 19:03, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, I did not notice a discussion had been opened before. As I stated in my edit summary, I have also found a source (Eurovisionfun.com) reporting the Sammarinese final for February, but neither of these seem to make it clear where such information is coming from, since nothing is precised in the San Marino RTV website. 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 22:47, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

(For the record, this was the link I had found, but it was deleted shortly after its publication, probably for being unsourced.) 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 11:04, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Ibrahim Eren

Did he not get replaced as director of TRT? So should we add "then-" in front of director in the Turkey section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Insaneguy1083 (talk • contribs) 13:49, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

@Insaneguy1083: I’d say it’s kind of implied that he was serving at the time, so it’s probably redundant. His article hasn’t been updated though, I’ll do it.

Malta's participation

Should we keep Malta on the provisional list of participants? Neither Wiwibloggs or ESCToday tag it as confirmed.

Some random trivia

Apparently this is only the second time we have three consecutive non-capital cities hosting Eurovision, after Lugano, Frankfurt and Hilversum ('56-58). Is this worth adding to the page or just random trivia? Insaneguy1083 (talk) 11:17, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

If it is at all worth mentioning on Wikipedia, then at least not on this page, since I don't think it's really relevant to ESC 2022. Maybe on List of Eurovision Song Contest host cities instead. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 11:29, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Relevance in the Other Countries section

Recently I boldy removed a few countries from Eurovision Song Contest 2022 § Other countries, but that got reverted. I personally am in favour of keeping it short, since this section (and the article as a whole) tends to get quite long, and because it's basically a collection of a lot of mostly unrelated information. So that's why I think it should only include sourced information directly about Eurovision 2022; not when it's merely suggested. Otherwise you also get a lot of repeated information; for example the entries for Belarus in 2021, 2022 and the 2023 draft are basically the same, which seems very unnecessary to me. If you want to know more about individual countries you can also just look at the country-specific articles. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 09:45, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Switzerland artist announcement

where does the source ever say that the artist will be announced by January? it just says "early 2022", and historically they've always announced in March or so. the 'ready for rehearsals by January' bit doesn't necessarily imply that the artist will also be announced by that time Insaneguy1083 (talk) 17:16, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Hm, good point. Looking through the page history, it was added by IvanScrooge98 here back in August. Maybe the source was changed since then? In any case I think it should be removed now. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 18:14, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

@Insaneguy1083: hm, I am pretty sure it said the artist would be announced before they would do the rehearsals in January. Though as Jochem said, it is likely the text was changed when it was updated (around a month after I visited the page). 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 19:23, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

"The rules don't say when the successful act will be announced but notes that applicants will know by the end of 2021 if their song has been successful." Never mind, I must have misinterpreted that as referring to an announcement intended for the public. 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 19:48, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Lithuania date

@IvanScrooge98: Why are we putting Lithuania’s as January or February in the info box. In the past it was constantly removed because a specific month was not specified. I just want to know why it was done and Hope that there won’t be an edit war . I just want to talk about here and make a consensus about what we do. Sammyham84 (talk) 07:10, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

@Sammyham84: you are right that the exact month was not specified, but it is known the selection is not going to be held earlier than January and that it is highly unlikely it will finish later than February, given it will consist of a maximum of 6 shows. That is why I had included it. 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 07:28, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Okay that is true but then I feel like we are kind of assuming when it finish at this point even though it is likely that it will end in February I feel like we should not add it until there is an actual confirmation that it will end in February because there is a chance that it will end in March so I’m just feel we should wait Sammyham84 (talk) 07:40, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
