India suspended

I think the ban of India may last for a long time, so it's ok to exclude India from the tournament qualification? Thingofme (talk) 11:38, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Provisional"

This is not what provisional means. The word you are looking for is "fictitious". 110.33.28.251 (talk) 13:11, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

1st round draw

Is the draw for round 1 an open draw or seeded/unseeded draw? Sagi2711 (talk) 16:00, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have not seen any reliable source confirm that it is seeded/unseeded. Until then, we should report it as an open draw. Official confirmation of seeding may not even come until the draw begins. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 16:01, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit war on Third round draw

Can we please locate a source for Juanese1990's claims on when and where the third round draw will be? I can't seem to locate the confirmation of these claims. Jalen Folf (talk) 20:04, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I tried looking earlier before you reverted the first one. I cannot find anywhere on AFC or FIFA's websites or social media that says the third round draw has been scheduled. If the information is put back again, I will revert so you don't run afoul of 3RR. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 20:07, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV Controversies section

I would like to raise concerns about the recent edits by Indonesiainfo24 insisting on the inclusion of controversial actions during matches this qualifying campaign. The inclusion of this section is a very clear violation of WP:NPOV, and as one user put it, looks like it was written from a disgrunted [sic] fan. Jalen Barks (Woof) 15:49, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Although the language is now much more neutral than the original edits, it's still out of proportion to include these specific controversial actions in this article. There are controversial calls in nearly every match, but they are minor aspects of the overall qualification tournament, so I don't think it's appropriate to highlight a select few here. Wburrow (talk) 16:18, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While Indonesiainfo24 has not directly replied here, they have stated their case here. Jalen Barks (Woof) 17:13, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Further copyedit made to the most recent post by Indonesiainfo24, and aligned with what is actually mentioned in the ESPN reference provided (rather than focussing on the referee). Matilda Maniac (talk) 00:42, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
