User:Random89/Proposal for Sports on ITN
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is always arguing and adding/removing of sports stories on ITN. As has been suggested (many times) before, this is my attempt to standardize what gets included. Please edit as necessary.
Sports articles are unique from other ITN candidates as we can see them coming and should prepare for them. There is no reason not to have a pre-existing list of approved events. I'm aware that I have a North American bias so please help out.
NOTE: This is not intended to preempt other ITN guidelines regarding inclusion such as unusual and particularly important events.
Every entry applies to the conclusion of the tournament or series
