Incident List[edit]

I don't believe the page is currently correct about the 2018 incident. It states there are 2 incidents in 2018, however the citation for the second is in an article about the 2003 incident and when the article refers to "a separate incident" it is about the already reported 2018 incident. However, there is now another, undated, incident that was reported today (https://www.sportsnet.ca/juniors/article/hockey-canada-looking-into-potential-third-sexual-assault-allegation/). I don't want to change the hard work someone did without being 100% sure, so I thought I'd put it here. LuluVohn (talk) 01:00, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So you knew this was wrong a year ago and just left the false info there? The reference you referred too was incorrect and you acknowledged that so you should have removed it. Also the link you shared doesn't mention a date or the name of a law firm so what was written is completely based off someone's misinterpretation of something they read, absolutely no fact to it.

This is all part of the same scandal; only one article required. 162 etc. (talk) 19:39, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree completely, as would pretty much anyone. No point in two articles covering the exact same scandal. Just merge them. KirkCliff2 (talk) 18:54, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As an addendum, this article is clearly the larger and more finely detailed of the two, so I presume the ideal option would be for this article to absorb the other. KirkCliff2 (talk) 18:58, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree; I think a merge and good organization will make this more navigable. Wracking talk! 19:01, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This article is a bit disorganized, but it makes passing mention of other incidents, though they can easily be incorporated into one section of the article to highlight past controversies, yes? KirkCliff2 (talk) 19:08, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would make sense to, as relevant, include them in a "Background" section and some sort of "other incidents" section. It's my general understanding that revelations of the 2018 assault were the driving force behind most other events (investigations, hearings, other cases coming to light).

Both subjects pass WP:GNG as standalone articles. More news has been released today for the 2018 team. I suggest waiting to see what comes of recent announcements.Flibirigit (talk) 20:41, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think the reasoning wouldn't be GNG but instead WP:OVERLAP. It's unclear to me how each article is substantively separate from the other. This could possibly be resolved by more clearly defining the scope of each article (eg 2018 Hockey Canada controversy and sexual assault is in-depth of that incident, while this page includes the 2018 events as a section in a summary-style review).

Right. See also WP:CFORK. 162 etc. (talk) 21:29, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merging seems logical for the points raised by Wracking, I don’t really see how these two articles are substantively different enough from each other to stand by themselves. The Kip 02:24, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
