Requested move

[edit]

Pierre Carl Ouellet → PCO (wrestler). McPhail (talk) 16:44, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another violation of a key component of the policy (parenthetical disambiguation is intended to be a last resort, not a first resort). RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 17:11, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's not an accurate representation of WP:NCDAB, which states "Natural disambiguation that is unambiguous, commonly used, and clear is generally preferable to parenthetical disambiguation". McPhail (talk) 20:16, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NWA Hawaii Heavyweight Championship

[edit]

Would someone please fix the error at NWA Hawaii Heavyweight Championship. The last entry in the title history table is #140 for J.T. Wolfen starting July 4, 2009. A new editor changed the reign period from

{{age in days nts|July 4, 2009}} to

{{age in days nts|July 4, 2009|2010}}

The change gives an error because {{age in days}} cannot work without a full date. On the other hand, undoing that edit would currently show 5,510 days which is obviously wrong. If the correct date can be found, please enter it. Otherwise, remove the template so at least it is not showing junk. Johnuniq (talk) 08:23, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For weekly wrestling shows, subsections listing every single combination of announce team need to be deleted

[edit]

Subsections such as AEW Dynamite#Commentators and WWE NXT#Commentators or indeed entire articles such as List of WWE Raw on-air personalities are ridiculous. First and foremost, they're almost entirely uncited. Secondly, they unwieldy monsters that add massively to the length of the article without adding useful information. Thirdly, they're pretty much just Fancruft. Do Wikipedia readers really need to know that Chris Jericho once commentated alongside Jim Ross and Excalibur on the second hour of the July 15, 2020 edition of Dynamite? Or that out of 100s and 100s of episodes of WWE RAW it was twice announced by Jim Ross and Todd Grisham?

I need this things need to be completely culled and articles such as List of WWE Raw on-air personalities put up for deletion. CeltBrowne (talk) 21:03, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have been thinking the same long time ago. I have no problem with regular commentators, like Ross Lawler, Tazz Styles or Tenay West. But its fancruft to include every single combination of the commentators, many of them being a one time deal. Dynamite is just 5 years old but has 22 combimations.--HHH Pedrigree (talk) 23:38, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. There are also pointless articles like Secondary championships in All Elite Wrestling. Random and non-notable stables/tag teams should be redirected too. While such contributions could be considered as WP:GOODFAITH, but they are actually bloat and fancruft material (harming the quality and encyclopediac tone of our project). --Mann Mann (talk) 05:00, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
