Talk:Blast Paris Major 2023
Qualification sections[edit]
Are these qualification sections really necessary? Surely having a list of qualified teams would suffice, rather than the WP:FANCRUFT of every match of teams that are looking to qualify for the event. These in-depth details are perfect, and better suited, for a place like Liquipedia. – Pbrks (t • c) 05:59, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
- I agree, that's too much for wikipedia, it can be on Liquipedia for an example. ManiLLa (talk) 12:38, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
- Qualification details are often included in Wikipedia articles on competitions (e.g. 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC third round), so I do believe the match results, at least, are appropriate content for Wikipedia. It could be spun off onto its own article if necessary. I see the match results for the European RMR and the other RMRs as equally relevant, so I'm not sure why just the match results for Europe have been removed at this time. 74.98.226.15 (talk) 15:42, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
- The difference is that reliable sources cover every stage of the FIFA world cup qual process--the same is not true for the individual results of the Major qual process. It certainly could not be its own article, as those individual matches are not covered outside of HLTV (which is not a reliable source by our standards). @74.98.226.15 please keep it as minimal as possible, and I think I would collapse it into boxes once the Major begins if we keep this material, a la ESL_One_Cologne_2015#Qualifiers.

- Why isn't HLTV a realiable source? Everyone gets their info from that site.. In fact the source u added has info(about Asia RMR) from Liquipedia. ManiLLa (talk) 20:53, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
- It's been discussed several times over at WP:VGRS, namely this is one of the most recent discussions on the topic. Wikipedia generally has high standard on what constitutes a "reliable source". Also, thanks for cleaning up the page. I think the succinct single table of qualified teams is much better. – Pbrks (t • c) 21:25, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
