Chronological summary of the 2012 Summer Paralympics → Event winners at the 2012 Summer Paralympics – While the initial intention of creating a parallel to Chronological summary of the 2012 Summer Olympics is acknowledged, this patently is not a chronological summary. It is a list of event winners, so let's title it honestly. Kevin McE (talk) 10:14, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd almost hate for that to be done, but making it more like the Chronological summary of the 2012 Summer Olympics might be more work than I'm prepared to do. Still I'm open to trying.--T. Anthony (talk) 12:41, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All the evidence after 11 days is that no-one has any interest in making it like that article, which was presumably the intention: I certainly don't, and interest will surely diminish now that it is over. The original intention was noble, but if it is not going to live up to that, then let's be honest. Kevin McE (talk) 21:47, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All the vidence does not indicate that. Its a tedious process (and more so when ongoing for dialy updates) and takes time.Now that its done such updates can follow. Im just ifnishing up the data and then this week should be through with the prose.

Improvement is a better alternative to deletion.Lihaas (talk) 08:01, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please have enough respect for other readers to sequence your replies appropriately.

12 days after the first medals were awarded, we still have zero prose, and we do not have a summary: we have a list of winners. Nobody has proposed deletion of this article, so your comment is hard to fathom in the context of this thread. Kevin McE (talk) 20:46, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's true, but I think there have been cases where Paralympic articles evolve over time rather than being "at the moment" the way the Olympics are. In some nations the Paralympics aren't even covered until after they're done. I think NBC won't have their little special on it until the 16th or 17th. Going by Youtube hits the interest may never be that great, but possibly we could wait until September 20 to make the switch or not. If at that point it has not moved toward actually being a chronological summary we make the switch.--T. Anthony (talk) 03:06, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough: no objection to a slightly longer than usual RM process when so reasonably requested, and now that there is some content and reason to hope for more to follow, I might in time change my own !vote to an oppose. Kevin McE (talk) 18:50, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Alas I have developed a moderately nasty cold so likely won't be able to do any more expansion for a few days. Hopefully Lihaas, or someone, can do stuff in my absence.--T. Anthony (talk) 23:59, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well I guess it turned out to be true that no one else was interested as no one else did anything (except fix a disambiguation) by the looks of it. So I guess if you want to change the title/purpose I'll sadly bow out from objecting.--T. Anthony (talk) 03:50, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
