Talk:List of multiple Summer Olympic medalists

Initial review

@SshibumXZ:

Hi there and thank you for reviewing this new page that I have just created. I've been doing a lot of work on various Olympics pages recently, starting with the 2018 Winter Olympics page while those Games were ongoing, and branching out from there. I realised a few weeks ago that there existed a List of multiple Winter Olympic medalists article but there wasn't an equivalent article for the summer games. So I decided to create one!

I started off by taking a direct copy of the winter version and then spent a lot of time changing all the details accordingly (quite a boring task, I can tell you!) I took the new data from the List of multiple Olympic medalists article as follows:

"List of Olympic medals over career" table → "List of multiple Summer Olympic medalists" table in new article
"List of most career medals in individual events" → My "Most medals in one individual event" table in new article

In response to the Multiple issues template:

unreferenced tag: The article doesn't cite any sources because the data is entirely sourced from the List of multiple Olympic medalists article. Should I state this at the top of the article somewhere? Or alternatively I could pull in the same sources that are used in the parent article.

Also note that the List of multiple Winter Olympic medalists article has the same issue but it has not been challenged there.

orphan tag: The revision history statistics show that there are currently 15 links to this page, and I am planning more.

Finally, why have you made the article a stub? It is very similar to the List of multiple Winter Olympic medalists article, but that has not been marked as a stub.

@Rodney Baggins: Per policy, lists don't require sources if the article in the list entry is the source. If all of these athletes list the number of medals they have won somewhere on their respective articles (which I would think they do), no extra sourcing is required. The orphan tag was likely added because the New Pages Feed said it was an orphan; if you know it's not, just remove it. And it's not a stub either, because it's a list. I'll remove the first and last tags; I'll leave you to the former. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 00:52, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
