Marshall Islands at the Olympics[edit]

- I am nominating Marshall Islands at the Olynpics for a good topic candidate as it meets the criteria necissary to be conisdered. I have enjoyed the process in bringing further content to the level of good topic. --Cameron11598 (Talk) 00:03, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
In the main article, "Athletes by sport" in the table should not have pictograms as the headers, as it violates WP:Accessibility and is not necessarily obvious to all readers. I know not having won any medals and having been to few games makes it hard to compare, but I'd suggest changing it to match the style of tables on other articles that include the names of the sports. There's really no need to tabulate everything that can be presented as "Marshall Islands have won no medals" just as easily. I don't see the relevance of having been controlled by Spain, Germany, and Japan - this is not about their history in general, but specifically their sporting history, Olympic history, and participation at that Games. The Pre-Olympics article is just disjointed in general, with an irrelevant statement about geography in between gaining independence and forming an NOC. However I'm sure there is some other information related to MI's participation that could be included, such as local media or human interest pieces that for largest countries would be excluded as as basic news or minute relative to the decades of participation but for the MI would relevant or interesting for an island nation at the Olympics. Your Saint Kitts and Nevis and Djibouti articles have details on the NOC and training that are missing here. Also, you should be consistent with organization: this main page and SKN have the table sections last while Djibouti has them first. Reywas92Talk 08:39, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
- There has been almost no activity since this nomination was started almost 3 months ago, so I am closing with no consensus to promote. If the issues from the one comment are addressed, this topic will most likely have a better chance of passing the next time it is nominated.--十八 21:45, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
