Will somebody please start the Super Bowl LIII Wikipedia Page as soon as posiblie — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.102.58.146 (talk) 16:26, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why the rush? Unless the bidding process gets underway, there is nothing meaningful to report and properly cited via reliable sources on a separate SB LIII article. The only thing we know that can be cited is which network will broadcast it, but that can be mentioned in one sentence on Super Bowl#Super Bowl on TV. Related policy is WP:CRYSTAL. See also Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2014 February 12, where consensus is to not start this article until then. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 03:11, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We know CBS is broadcasting Super Bowl LIII. 68.102.58.146 (talk) 19:55, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What else do we know? As I wrote above, "The only thing we know that can be cited is which network will broadcast it, but that can be mentioned in one sentence on Super Bowl#Super Bowl on TV". Zzyzx11 (talk) 06:00, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As I have stated, when the bidding process gets underway, and there are legitimate bids submitted to the league. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 03:43, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's Good there are legitimate bids submitted to the league right now but that's a good start and hopefully the article will be created sometime and hopefully soon.68.102.58.146 (talk) 13:16, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well I hope that they have some of the cities bidding for Super Bowl LIII. And I hope that article will start soon.68.102.58.146 (talk) 22:41, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I hope that will be some cities that are bidding for Super Bowl LIII we know the game will be played on Feb 3 2019 and it will be on CBS. Come on people get your lazy buts in gear and start it soon. 68.102.58.146 (talk) 21:47, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What No Finalists For Super Bowl LIII The Article hasn't Started yet I Hope they will start it very soon. 68.102.58.146 (talk) 03:15, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why Haven't you started the Super Bowl LIII Article. Cause there's no article in sight but if you don't start the article by December 1 it will stay red forever. 68.102.58.146 (talk) 16:16, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's it looks like no Super bowl LIII Article in sight.68.102.58.146 (talk) 15:45, 1 December 2014 (UTC) With no bidding and no article in sight goodbye.68.102.58.146 (talk) 15:46, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please Start The Super Bowl LIII Page Now Because I Don't Want to wait 3 years to start it. 68.102.58.146 (talk) 21:18, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Either make an account or ask someone to allow the page to be created. VegasCasinoKid (talk) 04:08, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the link, though the page should be a redirect and nothing else right now. VegasCasinoKid (talk) 04:12, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Despite my answer above regarding WP:CRYSTAL, this IP was blocked at least twice in December on grounds of disruptive editing for repeatedly asking the same question on WP:RD/E and other places and apparently ignoring the same WP:CRYSTAL answer. Zzyzx11 (talk) 05:13, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've considered substing the template and leaving a black link, but that would leave a mess of code on the page and make editing difficult for those trying to improve 52. It's either a protected redirect or no link. "no link" is the only solution I am capable of. VegasCasinoKid (talk) 05:18, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For your information. VegasCasinoKid (talk) 21:08, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looks Like The Finalists For Super Bowl LIII Are Coming This Spring. They were supposed to be announced last fall but it didn't happen because of the Adrian Peterson Case. I should be happy that the finalisits for Super Bowl LIII should be announced in the spring. And the article for Super Bowl LIII Should be Coming Soon and then we can move on to Super Bowl LIV. 68.102.58.146 (talk) 04:12, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, the Super Bowl LIII and Super Bowl LIV were restarted after the NFL announced the finalists for both in May 2015. Again, as we have repeatedly mentioned over and over again to you, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. We cannot start articles on future event until there is enough verifiable sources. Thanks.

Thanks For The Information And did you Have A Happy Thanksgiving 68.102.32.17 (talk) 17:19, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have the logo for the game https://mobile.twitter.com/TheGolden_0ne/status/828557008328544258/photo/3 can somebody put this on the article because I don't have a computer right now

NHL49 (talk) 16:50, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@NHL49: That does not seem to be an official source. Until we can get one from an official source (preferably in the SVG format), I think it is better to not have one. Elisfkc (talk) 18:42, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Premature advert

In the side box, the price of 30-second commercial comes for a site that doesn't list any sourcing. A better prediction is >$5 million, as referenced here: https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/01/11/super-bowl-lii-ad-cost — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.179.77.162 (talk) 19:49, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Citation requested

In regards to my edit yesterday about the BBC using NBC's feed requiring a citation, I'm not sure if a Twitter post counts, but it's from one of the hosts of the coverage.

https://twitter.com/Carlsonsports/status/960264692575895557

There's also this article but I'm not sure if the video clips contained within would be geoblocked. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/american-football/42683852 — Preceding unsigned comment added by TIGHazard (talk • contribs) 11:32, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Records Set

Under records set, the Patriots are credited with setting a record for fewest punts. According to NFL.com, this event has happened many times before. If this is meant to be a post-season record, then the Eagles would share this record - neither team punted the ball the entire game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richterrell (talk • contribs) 15:08, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Error on punts during game: According to Yahoo Sports play-by-pay recap of the game, Donnie Jones [Phila] punted once at 13:16 in the 2nd Q on 4th and 8 from the PHL 22 yard line for 41.0 yards.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huduuthinkiam (talk • contribs) 15:27, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lead Mention of Patriots' Repeat Appearance

I can't help but notice the following statement in the lead: "The Patriots were the first team to appear in consecutive Super Bowls since the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowls XLVIII and XLIX." This describes a gap of a single year since the last time it happened; in the last five Super Bowls, only Super Bowl 50 was not part of a consecutive repeat appearance by a team. Rather than say it's the "first time" this has happened since one year before, I think it would be better to note that this was the Nth time a team made consecutive appearances. That's not a statistic I have handy, but would be easy enough to look up. Do other editors agree that change would be a improvement? --DavidK93 (talk) 17:51, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that definitely would be more meaningful to put it in those terms...as it is it does sound odd now (kinda like saying "it was the first time the Patriots have been to the Super Bowl since...last year".) I think the more pertinent stat is "the Pats were the trying to be the first team to win back to back Super Bowls since 2005," that was always the significance of their repeat appearance when it's been talked about. 70.91.35.27 (talk) 18:39, 5 February 2018 (UTC)Tim[reply]
