[edit] History of Jamaican athletics

History of Jamaican athletics (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

All of this can be put in the main Jamaica article. This one reeks of WP:NPOV violations. Nakon 19:44, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep and Rename - Rename the article to Sports in Jamaica (Athletics in Jamaica per later suggestion) and then edit out some of the bias problems. The subject matter is notable. matt91486 (talk) 19:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep It shouldn't be renamed 'sport in Jamaica as this article is specifically about track and field. 'Sport in Jamacia' would encompass a lot of cricket for instance, and there's already plenty of material on that elsewhere. Jamaica is incredibly successful in Athletics, given its small size, and there's more than enough information to justify this piece. If this needs rewriting a little then edit it.

  • Keep unless a copyvio, as a not-badly written overview, but it should actually be named athletics in Jamaica. Punkmorten (talk) 06:58, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep but re-write in a less-hurried style, and rename as per User:Punkmorten. - fchd (talk) 17:21, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep and rename per all above comments. Also just wanted to bring up that this article is move protected and will require an admin to carry out the move (I closed as keep and rename earlier to find this out.) TonyBallioni (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 00:56, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
