Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Olympics has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Z1720 (talk) 02:07, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi everyone, I have multiple (currently about 3) article that are about the Olympics at Good Article Nominations, if anyone would like to review them, please do. I am also very close to getting a good topic on South Sudan at the Olympics but just need South Sudan National Olympic Committee to be passed. If at all possible please review that one first.

Currently, Swimming, Diving, Water Polo and Artistic Swimming are structured as separate disciplines on the Olympic pages. As such, we have articles for:

• "Swimming at the [year] Summer Olympics" and "Swimming at the [year] Summer Olympics – [event name]"
• The same structure for Diving, Artistic Swimming and Water Polo

However, Marathon Swimming articles are categorised as sub events of the swimming discipline. As such, there is no pages "Marathon Swimming at the [year] Summer Olympics" or "Marathon Swimming at the [year] Summer Olympics – [event name]". Instead, the events are structured as part of the "Swimming" discipline, and we have "Swimming at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Men's marathon 10 kilometre" for example.

This doesn't make sense because the sources categorise them as separate disciplines:

• https://www.worldaquatics.com/competitions/2943/olympic-games-paris-2024/medals?disciplines=
• https://www.olympics.com/en/olympic-games/paris-2024/results/swimming

Therefore I propose splitting marathon swimming into it's own discipline. If people have no issue with this, I'll go ahead and do it. IAWW (talk) 13:01, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:I'm not sure it's right to separate the two. While the disciplines within Aquatic sports are indeed divided into different articles, this is not the case in other sports (such as basketball, cycling, canoeing, equestrian gymnastics, volleyball, and wrestling). I believe there's a significant difference between water polo, diving, and swimming. However, the difference between swimming and marathon swimming/open water swimming is not that great.

::That's a fair point. I didn't realise this was common across other disciplines. I just assumed it was a mistake/no one had given it the thought. Regardless, there is definitely enough content on Marathon Swimming at the Olympics to split it into it's own discipline, so I guess it becomes an organisational question? I think the modularity of having Marathon Swimming separate is well worth it, as I have seen content mistakes caused by merging them in articles. IAWW (talk) 19:48, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:::I get that Marathon swimming is a different discipline, but a separate article for 2 events might be overdoing it. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 22:07, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

::::Fair enough, lets drop this proposal then. What I'll do is just split the swimming from the marathon swimming a bit more in the articles which contain information about both. IAWW (talk) 22:14, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::Yea that makes more sense. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:48, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

::I agree with Nim and Sportfan. Open water swimming just isn't different enough to have its own page. With that said, we should take care in making it clear it is a different discipline than swimming (like the other combined discipline pages in other sports). Additionally, doing a quick look at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, Open Water Swimming is combined in the "Sports" section listing the number of events of each sport and discipline and should be separated accordingly.
