From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a proposal to create and improve WikiProject Badminton, a WikiProject specializing in badminton players and tournaments.

Background

[edit]

There are currently over 300 articles about this subject (see Category:Badminton biography stubs, Category:Badminton at the Olympics and Category: Badminton tournaments) and many of them are stubs.

Some articles have remained stubs for more than three months, some with just single sentences. A WikiProject will help to highlight these problems and improve the articles.

Badminton is a popular sport, with many tournaments being played. By establishing a WikiProject, many player and tournament articles will be created and improved, just like football (soccer).

Aims

[edit]

The aims will be to:

  • Encourage the creation of new badminton articles such as players and tournaments.
  • Provide a centralized discussion point for articles about badminton players and tournaments.
  • Standardize and improve the articles in Wikipedia:
    • Improve information about players (biography, participated tournaments, honours, awards – information can be taken from IBF website)
    • Improve information about tournaments (tournaments description, venue, teams, seeded entries, results)
  • Create an interesting portal if needed.

The WikiProject

[edit]

The WikiProject will be split to three:

This WikiProject needs to be split because different topics have different formats for their articles.

Interwiki relations

[edit]

Since badminton is an international sport, we should strive to increase relations with the international community.
