Just something neat found on the web. http://www.xs4all.nl/~fwb/hano2020.gif

Euro 2016 - Denmark

Here it says that Denmark is bidding for the Euro football championships with Sweeden in 2016, yet if we look at that page, it says that the Bid is Sweeden and Norway??? TJ 16/04/07 16.34 UTC

When searching for the 2020 Olympics, the search bar bit where it gives extra information about the event says it's hosted in Ombues de Lovalle. Is that a prank of some sort, or I am misunderstanding something?

Question regarding Surfing Qualification

I am not much connected with surfing in Wikipedia. But I created a surfing related article So Sri Lanka Pro 2019 as I noticed some Sri Lankan sources say it is also a qualification criteria for the upcoming 2020 Summer Olympics. However this is not an annual event as it is proposed to be conducted after 8 years. On the other hand, I heard about the participation of former world champion Mark Occhilupo who has now completely retired from the game for a long time. Also the website of global federation World Surf League mentioned this event as one of the international surfing events. However it didn't mention or specify anything about the Olympic Qualifications regarding this event. Can somebody please help me out on this issue?. Thanks. Abishe (talk) 03:18, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I looked into this. The So Sri Lanka Pro 2019 is part of the 2019 WSL Qualifying Series, which is part of the qualifying for the 2020 WSL Championship Tour. However, it is the *2019* Championship Tour which is an Olympic qualifying event, so the Sri Lanka event is not even an indirect qualifier for Tokyo 2020. -- Jonel (Speak to me) 14:14, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the maps and graphs of the qualification of athletes and participating NOCs

There are maps and graphs that count the recent athletes that have been qualified even though there are given numbers according to each of the articles of the participating NOCs. Same with the the countries that are participating. This is why these pictures and graphs of NOCs participating should be kept. SpinnerLaserz (talk) 16:26, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Recovery Olympics"

An unregistered IP has added Recovery Olympics to the opening paragraph as an alternative name for the 2020 Games. I've added in the citation that was provided in the edit summary. However, I'm not entirely sure this is the best place to put this information – how controversial/topical/political is it? Maybe we'd be best putting in a less prominent section lower down the article highlighting the relevance and background to the nickname? Rodney Baggins (talk) 09:44, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Recovery Olympics" in lead

A couple of days ago, User:yeungkahchun removed the alternative name "Recovery Olympics" from the lead but I put it back because it's been established for some time now so it's probably best to discuss it first. I understand that this alternative name may be controversial and I wonder if we should include it as a note rather than putting it up front in the first paragraph, which gives it the same emphasis as the more prominent names "2020 Summer Olympics", "Games of the XXXII Olympiad" and "Tokyo 2020". The note would read: "An alternative name for the 2020 Games is the Recovery Olympics (Fukkō Gorin (Japanese: 復興五輪), in reference to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster recovery) + existing source. I also notice that the alternative name (and questions surrounding it) has not been included as a controversial aspect of the Olympics, when maybe it should? All available sources mention the fact that victims of the Fukushima disaster are being overlooked and resent the fact that the government are spending so much money on the Olympics, etc. etc. Rodney Baggins (talk) 11:18, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, no response to this after 7 days so I'll go ahead and change as I see fit. My reasoning for this is that the name is possibly controversial, it's not in common use, and I feel that we should give it rather less emphasis than the more prominent names stated in the lead ("2020 Summer Olympics", "Games of the XXXII Olympiad" and "Tokyo 2020").

2020 Summer Olympics → Second Tokyo Summer Olympics – I've picked up evidence that they won't be until 2021. Georgia guy (talk) 17:59, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's looking very likely now that they will be postponing the event, but surely we need to wait until they've made a definite decision and made an announcement before we think about changing the title? Rodney Baggins (talk) 19:04, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The games have not yet been cancelled. This RM is very much in good faith, but premature. Randy Kryn (talk) 19:07, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – though there is now doubt about when or if these Olympics will take place, I haven't seen any sources referring to them with the suggested title. Keep it at "2020 Summer Olympics" for now, revisit if needed per Randy Kryn. —Granger (talk · contribs) 19:06, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - WP:TOOSOON. As for possible future scenarios, if the event is cancelled completely then the title may as well stand as it is. If the event is postponed (standing contracts with the IOC would allow the date to be moved to the end of 2020, but to no later than that[1]), the title would still stand. Moving to 2021 would require the contracts to be changed, and that's WP:CRYSTAL. I see no need for a move yet. Renerpho (talk) 20:33, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Adopting our language to the possibility of cancellation

When most of the text in this page was drafted, the occurrence of the games seemed a lot more sure than it does now. Phrases like "these will be the fourth Olympic Games to be held in Japan" at this point make me uncomfortable per WP:CRYSTAL, since while it's still more likely the games will take place in some form or just be postponed, there's a non-trivial possibility of outright cancellation. Can we change the language throughout to something more akin to "these are planned to be the fourth Olympic Games to be held in Japan"? Sdkb (talk) 06:27, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Skimming through the article, it looks okay to me. There is always a possibility of changes to future events; that was true six months ago and it is true now. Also, most of the "will" language is not about dates, so it should remain accurate even if the games are postponed. —Granger (talk · contribs) 23:19, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Right now, cancellation isn't even "on the agenda" according to the IOC [2]. I think "planned to be" is implicit in "will be"; I don't think there's any need to change that specific wording at this time. Mz7 (talk) 23:44, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request Title Change from 2020 Summer Olympics to 2021 Summer Olympics

The IOC is expected to postpone the 2020 Summer Olympics Games to 2021 and a title change and details should be updated Efuture2 (talk) 17:51, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Expected to" but have not yet. And it is not clear that 2021 will be where they end up (though it seems most likely). It's a little premature to change the title, though of course the text should include discussion. -- Jonel (Speak to me) 19:11, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
We need to wait until official announcement. Dick Pound has said as much, but it's not yet official.— Crumpled Fire • contribs • 21:32, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonel, Crumpled Fire, Jonas kam, and ApprenticeFan: I earlier semi-protected this article. But given all the recent changes to the infobox by autoconfirmed users based on rumors, I am inclined to full-protect the article until there is an official announcement. You four seem to have been involved recently in keeping the article honest; do you think it should be locked? and if so, I wonder which version to protect: "July 24" or "TBD"? -- MelanieN (talk) 23:19, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It may have to be locked if the edits continue, and if so I would favor the "July 24" version as the status quo until we get an official proclamation.— Crumpled Fire • contribs • 23:52, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You got it. I'm going to lock it for 24 hours, I suspect that will be enough. When something definite comes out, ping me or anyone; I hereby authorize any other admin to unlock it as soon there is something definite to add. -- MelanieN (talk) 01:54, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article will still be 2020 Summer Olympics despite being moved to 2021, no change or rename. Period. Example, Miss Universe 2016 was held in January 2017 that wasn't held on the entire calendar year of 2016. ApprenticeFan work 12:43, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 24 March 2020

2020 Summer Olympics → 2021 Summer Olympics – Games have officially been postponed to 2021. While the branding will remain as "Tokyo 2020", Wikipedia's current article name does not reflect the branding nor the locale — just "2020 Summer Olympics" — which is now unquestionably incorrect. I propose "2021 Summer Olympics" as the best alternative, but if there are other suggestions they should be discussed as well. Some possibilities would be "2021 Olympics" (as they may not 100% take place during summer), "Tokyo 2020" (to reflect the branding which will be retained), or "2021 Tokyo Olympics".— Crumpled Fire • contribs • 14:15, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I understand your comment. The games are being held in 2021, therefore they are no longer the "2020" Summer Olympics. Yes, the branding will remain as "Tokyo 2020" which I mentioned in my move request, but that is irrelevant to the move request as the current Wikipedia name doesn't reflect branding.— Crumpled Fire • contribs • 14:20, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For example, a similar major sporting announcement a couple of days ago that UEFA Euro 2020 is now held in 2021 instead of 2020 as the branding still retain the name. 2020 Copa América also retain the same. ApprenticeFan work 14:23, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate the examples, but notice for UEFA Euro 2020 in particular, that is the official name of the event, so I would support that title. I think since the Olympics are such an important and central event, we may not want to rely on other examples. Also, "2020 Summer Olympics" is not an official title, it's just a generic descriptor of the event along with the year it takes place, which is now incorrect. According to IOC, "It was also agreed that the Games will keep the name Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020. That is not the title of our article here. Presumably the reason they are keeping the name is so they won't need to jettison "Tokyo 2020" and waste money creating new promo materials, but since we aren't using their official branded name here, our title is not relevant to the fact they aren't changing the branding.— Crumpled Fire • contribs • 14:30, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The IOC has officially confirmed that the Games will occur in 2021, stating that they will be "rescheduled to a date beyond 2020 but not later than summer 2021", so we know they will take place in 2021 just as much as we knew they would take place in 2020 when they were first announced and thus named accordingly as the "2020" Summer Olympics—this isn't anything to do with WP:CRYSTAL. When this article was first named 2020 Summer Olympics, it wasn't yet a "common name" because it wasn't "commonly" being called anything in 2005. It's simply a descriptive name of the event and the year in which it takes place, just like 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, which is not a "common name" for that event by any stretch.— Crumpled Fire • contribs • 14:41, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Lol what. How does saying "event that occurs in 2021 will be referred to as the 2021 event" fall under WP:CRYSTAL? I swear that policy has lost all meaning now and is just thrown around randomly.  Nixinova   T   C   19:41, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This has nothing to do with how the media will refer to it. How many media outlets refer to the COVID-19 pandemic as "2019–20 coronavirus pandemic"? This has to do with the naming conventions at Wikipedia which involve listing the name of the event along with the year in which it takes place. We now know the Summer Olympics are taking place in 2021, not 2020. If we want to instead rename the article to "Tokyo 2020" to reflect branding, we can have that discussion.— Crumpled Fire • contribs • 14:44, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I agree as the title makes no reference to locale a move is appropriate Steven a91 (talk) 15:06, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose (at least until we know how the media will call the event in 2021). All Olympics are called "WXYZ Summer (or Winter) Olympics", with WXYZ being the year, because the Olympics were always held during the year when it was supposed to be held (apart from those that were cancelled altogether). We have never had a case where the Olympics Games were moved to another year, so we cannot predict how the media will call this special event which has no precedent. So to predict that the media will call it the "2021 Summer Olympics" is WP:CRYSTAL. The Wikipedia naming guideline also follows the same thought process, there is rarely any precedent for such a huge event to be delayed a year, so I don't think previous naming guideline is useful in this case. Chanheigeorge (talk) 15:12, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I fail to see how it was CRYSTAL to call it "2020 Summer Olympics" before today, because it was never anticipated that the Olympics would be delayed by a year, and the media had always used the name "WXYZ Summer Olympics" for the Olympics that is scheduled to be held in WXYZ. If some city decides to bid for the Summer Olympics in 2040, we can pretty safely says the media will write the headline "City bids for 2040 Summer Olympics". Again, we are dealing with a case which has never happened before, so to say that the media will definitely call it the "2021 Summer Olympics" because it is now scheduled to be held in 2021 is pure speculation. Just because the year it was scheduled to be held has been changed does not invalidate all the articles that had been written by the media in the past days/weeks/months/years, which all use the name "2020 Summer Olympics". Chanheigeorge (talk) 15:30, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think I slightly misread your comment. It was written by another editor (Crumpled Fire) not by you. But my general point remains, even the media is still calling it the "2020 Summer Olympics" after the schedule change announcement: "Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics Officially Postponed Due To Coronavirus". [3] So until the media decides to call it the "2021 Summer Olympics", we should stick with the name. Chanheigeorge (talk) 15:47, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If possible, please read the above discussion. We already know they are keeping the branding "Tokyo 2020", they've said as much, but Wikipedia's article name does not reflect the branding they choose to use, it reflects the [YEAR] and [EVENT NAME] naming convention.— Crumpled Fire • contribs • 15:23, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Can our old naming conventions really be applied, though? We have never experienced this with huge sporting events like the Oympics or UEFA Euros. Let's at least wait and see what the media generally will call it? As WP:NCE says: "If there is an established, common name for an event, use that name." If possible, we should follow that... // Mattias321 (talk) 15:39, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Mattias321. The naming convention is pretty much based on all previous Olympics Games which were either held on schedule or cancelled altogether. This one is the first to be held in another year. So when the editors decided on the naming convention, it is unlikely that they anticipated such a special case, so I do not see why we should just blindly follow the convention without gathering more information from other sources (media, official name, general public sentiment etc). Just because it has been moved does not mean the media has now stopped calling it the "2020 Summer Olympics". I mean, do an internet news search, even those that are reporting on the schedule change are still calling it the "2020 Summer Olympics", using headlines such as "Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics Officially Postponed Due To Coronavirus" [4]. If over time, the media decides in favor of calling this event the "2021 Summer Olympics", then yes we should move, but it is way too premature at this point.

  • Support Really not sure why to keep it on 2020 Summer Olympics if it... isn't happening in 2020? aealtrus (talk) 15:27, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose for now, per the above. This is premature and we should wait until we know that the media refers to the Olympics as the "2021 Olympics". It doesn't matter that the name isn't accurate right now - if the name is only used by us, then it's the wrong name. I oppose "Tokyo 2020" too because it's not part of the WP:OLYMPICS naming convention. The outcome of this RM will also affect hundreds of other articles with "2020 Summer Olympics" in their names (for instance, just the pages in Category:Nations at the 2020 Summer Olympics and Category:2020 Summer Olympics events), so this should wait. epicgenius (talk) 15:29, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Yes we all can see how odd it might look but, it doesn't matter what makes 'sense' or not here. "Tokyo 2020" might be still retained for branding convenience purposes, and it's nonsensical to change it here when the decision is up to the IOC.

  • Strong oppose: The Games will not be rebranded, and the name will remain the same, like UEFA Euro 2020—see here what we settled for in the talk. I read the word ridiculous from supporters of '2021': what is ridiculous to me is not to have a quadrennial competition called with a quadrennial name.
    P.S: The naming of the Games is consistent in all the pages of all other Olympiads: to me is blindly superficial to propose odd and unusual names in the pursuing of undue and unsustainable compromises. —Foghe (talk) 15:46, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment. The sports are not totally quadrennial. For just one spot, the Winter Olympics were biennial. And now we're in a spot where the Summer Olympics are quinquennial, not quadrennial. Georgia guy (talk) 15:52, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment Calling the name ridiculous and opposing a move should not be mutually exclusive. We can and do have articles under ridiculous names because that is how they are referred to in reliable sources. Changing your name to the name of an underwear company that paid you money is ridiculous, but we nevertheless have the article at Bruno Banani (luger), not Fuahea Semi (which is a redirect), since that's his name and how he's referred to in reliable sources.

  • Oppose for now It would be stupid to call it the 2020 Summer Olympics when it's in 2021, but that's not our call to make. We just have to go by what is used elsewhere. If "it's a stupid name" alone were grounds for moving an article on a sporting event, then half of college (American) football bowl game articles would need to be moved. Smartyllama (talk) 16:37, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose now as premature per WP:COMMONNAME. 2020 Summer Olympics (or just 2020 Olympics) is overwhelmingly the common name now, also in today's news stories about the postponement. It may change but we don't know. When going to page 4, there are merely 33 Google hits on "2021 Summer Olympics" and nearly all are unreliable, duplicates or only mentioning it as a possible name. We have 335 articles, 85 categories and 52 templates with "2020 Summer Olympics" in the name. Mass moves will start quickly if we move the main article. Delay this chaos which may be reverted later and let's wait and see what becomes the common name. The redirect at 2021 Summer Olympics works fine. There is no rule an event must have its expected year in the title. Awards are often named for the year they are honoring and not taking place. This is a different situation but the 4-year cycle is so ingrained in the Olympics that I wouldn't be surprised if 2020 remains. PrimeHunter (talk) 16:40, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict) Oppose for now – if it begins commonly going by "2021 Summer Olympics", then we can change it per WP:COMMONNAME.

  • Oppose for now. Rightly or wrongly, the IOC and all sources are calling it Tokyo 2020. If a time comes when people call it the 2021 Games, then we can revisit this discussion, but for now it's premature. Because we don't, for example, even know it will happen next year.

  • Oppose due to the fact that it is too early to announce a rename without a decent discussion by the organisation first. Other events in the year has not had their pages moved from 2020... to 2021... either. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:37, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • OPPOSE This entire discussion, is STUPID!!! The IOC has already stated they will still be called the 2020 Summer Olympics, no matter when they are held. As for the guy who says XXIII Summer Olympics. The IOC still recognizes 1916 as the VIth Olympiad, & 1940, & 1944 as the XIIth, & XIIIth Olympiads respectively.Subman758 (talk) 21:38, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
