Template talk:Israel at international sports competitions

Size of the template

Excellent work, both on template and articles. However, isn't the template destined too become to big? The sport competitions are almost endless to add.--Eranrabl (talk) 12:07, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

In theory, but that would take a long time. By only listing years it would take a very long time unless many new articles are created, but I am not sure there are many more sports that articles could be created about. If it becomes too big, I think it can be addressed at that time. Its still much smaller than some like Template:Google Inc. Until it comes to that point, I dont believe there is anything to be done. - Galatz^Talk 13:34, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

There are plenty of sports left: handball, volleyball, futsal, beach soccer, judo (most of the Olympic program, actually), karate, cricket, softball. There are also minor multi-sport events: Western Asiatic Games, International Workers' Olympiads and several minor ones (World Festival of Youth and Students and such, though information is thin on these). Also, I think that Athletics should be a separate category from multi-sport events.--Eranrabl (talk) 17:30, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

I agree with both your points there, there are all these other events, but since information is scarce it may not meet WP:GNG. Even if GNG was met it would be hard to get a good referenced article on the topic. I think the size of the template is an issue we can discuss when it gets to that part.

As for athletics I agree somewhat. I was slightly torn on where to put it when I went with multi-sport event. Ultimately though, that is what it is considered, but I see the argument against it. - Galatz^Talk 19:27, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
