Neutrality

[edit]

Is it just me or has no previous Cup been similarly picked through. I think people are just probing for problems. Surely there are a few controversies, but this really seems like a deliberate attempt to bash South Africa. I propose deletion or neutrality changes.

I've removed your prod. This content was in the main WC article for months with no objections raised, so having it split wholesale, and then prodded for not deserving its own article, is just wrong, full stop. As for why it exists and its bloatedness compared to other WC's, you need to remember that in 2006 Wikipedia was barely up and running, this is the first world cup where online press attention is poured into articles by thousands of people each day. It's unique existence is not hard to explain, but whether it should exist should have been debated a bit better than has happened on the main article, where it appears someone has just ignorantly gone through the article cutting and pasting entire sections into their own articles, lazily leaving 'expand' tags behind them. The main article now has about 5 whole sections which simply say, 'sod off and go and look in this article'. Beyond stupid. MickMacNee (talk) 21:22, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, there is nothing wrong with showing all sides to the WC. The WC has had a huge negative impact on many South Africans. Its been documented on every major news outlet in the world. Surely thats important to present. There's also nothing non-neutral about the article. It focuses on WC controversies and therefore must present those controversies. Whether or not one agrees with that is up to the reader to decide. This article should stay and any other relevant issues should be added.72.67.215.85 (talk) 09:22, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There is no neutrality dispute. At least i do not see one. The person who place it there did not provide any constructive ways to solve what he says is an issue. I for one do not think there is a problem with neutrality (and its seems most agree) and therefore I will remove it.Frombelow (talk) 06:46, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

[edit]

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
  1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
  2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
  3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:51, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
