Assess : newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status.
Cleanup : * Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state) * Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.) * Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing. * Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.
* Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show."

I removed this section as stated in the edit summary because of WP:NOTNEWS. This is an insignificant story that wikipedia should not cover for the same reason we don't give three long paragraphs to every single lawsuit that has ever been filed against every single media outlet. The sources on it are also insufficient, with the lone AP article being the only real reliable secondary source. New York Post is a right wing tabloid and not considered reliable, and Deadspin's own articles are WP:PRIMARY46.97.170.18 (talk) 12:20, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As an addendum: this article and the resulting legal action are presently and immediately relevant to Deadspin's present and potential future operations, and merit mention in this Wikipedia article. Overlasting Peace (talk) 22:28, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is not, and does not. If by some miracle this will result in anything other than an out of court settlement, which is how sensationalized defamation suits against media outlets typically end, then we could consider mentioning it, depending on how Deadspin is affected in the aftermath, but until then, this is just another day in frivolous lawsuit land. 46.97.170.18 (talk) 10:35, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As noted in the body, a judge as deemed this lawsuit not frivolous.
Also, the above editor is correct regarding the relevance of the litigation. Not only in its own right, but also when given the context of Gawker's previous legallyz established journalism malpractice.
The section as currently written, seems to adequately cover the relevant facts of the lawsuit and false claims by the Deadspin and the author. Your objections seem to be based on your personal views ( WP:JDLI ) rather than the reliable source coverage (including AP, Slate, ESPN, and others.HoundofBaskersville (talk) 16:02, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If this is going to turn out anything like Gawker (which I highly doubt - the only thing I see in common is that the political alignment of the people calling for its downfall), then I will concede that the story is indeed relevant and the section in it's current form is warranted. An ongoing lawsuit is hardly important by itself, despite what certain people want to believe. 46.97.170.18 (talk) 11:13, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
