@ForksForks I'll get to this soon! Around ~48 hours I'll be set. :) Arconning (talk) 16:11, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

@ForksForks I believe I'm mostly done, the tables are kept to follow consistency with other similar articles. The reason why Taduran did not compete is listed, but I don't have any sources on Catalon. Including Taduran, I'm not sure what to add for their bios and where would I put them in the article exactly? Let me know if you have any more problems. Arconning (talk) 16:36, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

I see these questions as within your discretion, so I don't see it as a blocker. Don't worry about it. Ping me when you are done working. ForksForks (talk) 16:57, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I've reviewed the article.

Obviously this is a short article so I have taken care to review all the sources in the article that I had access to. When I say 'good' I mean that I was able to verify the claim.

• 1) (IOC) good
• 2) (One Sports) good
• 3) (NYET) good
• 4) (Philippine Olympian Committee) good
• 5, 10, 13) (French document) good
  • 13) appears to verify a claim with an image, suggest removing as this could be seen as original research.
• 6) (Inquirer) good
• 7) (Rappler) good
• 8) (Chronicle) good
• 9, 16, 17) (Olympedia) good, I assume that this is not user generated content.
• 11, 12, 14) (Newspapers.com) AGF
• 15) (Philippine Olympian Association) good

Criteria:

1) Well written: Yes

2) Verifiable, no OR, etc: See source review above, yes.

3) Neutral: Yes. Flag situation seems to be handled well.

4) Stable: Yes.

5) Illustrated. Yes, happy to see some historical images that are included. They are plausibly PD.

6) Broad coverage is where we are always going to have a sticking point. What I'd love to see is a short bio subsection on Nepomuceno and Catalon with "main article" links. Who were they, how did they get there. Does not need to be long. In my opinion this helps the article tell a complete story and is good practice. If you can also say why some athletes didn't compete that would help, you repeat that claim a few times but don't explain why -- I understand if there's no sourcing. Otherwise this is most of the way there.

I also question the usefulness of these full sized tables with keys, etc. when they don't convey a ton of information at all. There's no formula for a wp article, in general articles should adapt to their subject matter. So not all of them need to have such tables.
