Article is just a collection of navboxes. Not very many similar Country×Sport at the Olympic Games articles exist for non-teamsports. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 21:51, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge (selectively) into Royal Netherlands Watersport Association#Olympic sailing as a totally unjustified WP:SPINOFF or WP:CONTENTFORK. This discussion and the direction it is heading reminds of a recent discussion here. The nominator and the sole respondent thus far DID WELL to take a look at the navboxes that blow up the size of the article and may have triggered the unjustifiable (!) spinoff. That said, these navboxes should NOT be the basis for the AfD conclusions as the article is NOT a list so the prose is the CORE and the rest is just auxiliary information if not deadweight. The Royal Netherlands Watersport Association is the organizer of this team. There is ONE proper paragraph of 7 sentences in the article that is BADLY needed at Royal Netherlands Watersport Association, where the section on Olympic sailing is totally EMPTY (yikes!). A selective merge with redirect also works WAY BETTER with WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE, and WP:CHEAP. gidonb (talk) 04:20, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge (selectively) into Royal Netherlands Watersport Association#Olympic sailing. "Selectively" meaning not with the templates, but with any useful, sourced prose text. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:26, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely! We need a SUMMARY table, not tables/templates/navboxes specific to individual games. It doesn't exist so in this merge nothing should move with the long paragraph! gidonb (talk) 16:41, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
