Consensus to split sports victory parades into a separate article. Felix QW (talk) 17:19, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

I think those should be discussed in a separate article. This one should be for the main (military) use. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:38, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Pinging @Piotrus: - it's been more than four years since this split was suggested, would you like to perform the split? I can if you don't want to. Wgullyn (talk) 20:42, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

@Wgullyn If you wouldn't mind doing so - please, I'd appreciate it. (Also I totally forgot about it, I didn't add it to my sandbox list of mergers to periodically check, tnx for the ping). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:44, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

@Ingenuity: As you had volunteered to implement the split before, would you still be willing to do so? Felix QW (talk) 17:23, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Taking forever

How much progress has occurred? As of August 19, 2024, this is one of the four longest merger/split proposals in English Wikipedia. Bearian (talk) 03:21, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

The issue is that split requests are a lot more complex to implement than merge requests.

The main reason for that is that while it is always possible to add content from one page to another existing page, making a new page requires evidence of notability. Often one ends up in a situation where everyone agrees a page mixes two unrelated concepts, but the content on the joint page does not have the sourcing to evidence that both concepts are individually notable. Then a split request gets overwhelming support but whoever implements it has to figure out how to draft an adequately sourced article that evidences notability of the topic to be split-off.

In this particular instance, there is exactly one source in the section on sports victory parades, and that is a Guardian article supporting a single bullet point. Felix QW (talk) 14:02, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
