Suggestion of merger

Hi there. I am suggesting a merger between List of flag bearers for Djibouti at the Olympics and Djibouti at the Olympics. The discussion is located on the latter's talk page. There is a very minimal amount of content located in the former's article now, and can be easily included into the latter's. Please direct any discussion there, thanks!

Wikilink the event or not?

@Raymarcbadz: like so or like so? There are no other links to that page on the page. - Immigrant laborer (talk) 11:07, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

WP:BOLDAVOID states that "Links should not be placed in the boldface reiteration of the title in the opening sentence of a lead". Try to rewrite the opening paragraph to allow the linking to event somewhere else. The-Pope (talk) 11:48, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Participation of women in the Olympics

Hi! FuriouslySerene and I are working on a merger project of Women at the Olympics and International Olympic Committee and gender equality in sports. We are working on merging both articles into a new one located at Participation of women in the Olympics. We are currently working on a draft for the article located at Draft:Participation of women in the Olympics. I would appreciate it if some of you could join us and contribute to the draft and give us suggestions at the draft's talk page. Thanks in advance, Jith12 (talk) 21:48, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Infobox - Country at Games

The new infobox for (Country) at the (year) (summer/winter) Olympics is pretty. However, it still only lists either all summer games, or all winter games. I think that's a major, unnecessary, downside. Is there anything we can do to address this? -- Lejman (talk) 06:01, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

I had an RFC up for two whole months and got all of one response. And now you're interested? Primefac (talk) 20:06, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Probably be more interest 1,200 days from now. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:10, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Merger proposal

I propose that St. Kitts and Nevis Olympic Committee be merged into Saint Kitts and Nevis at the Olympics. The latter article is not very long, and the former article is already in it. Kees08 (Talk) 15:11, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Kees08, it looks like you've already pretty much finished up the merger, so I say just be BOLD and redirect the Committee article. Primefac (talk) 15:13, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Sounds good to me, this is only my second merger. If it is simple like that, so I need to propose it at all? I was going to propose a merger of the flag bearers as well, but I would rather just do it. Kees08 (Talk) 17:50, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

If it's a relatively uncontroversial merge (like this one) then you don't need to formally propose one. If you're not sure if it should be merged or not, then it might be a decent idea to start a discussion and ping projects. Primefac (talk) 17:53, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

RFC on sports notability

An RFC has recently been started regarding a potential change to the notability guidelines for sportspeople. Please join in the conversation. Thank you. Primefac (talk) 23:08, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
