Here is my problem with these stand-alone articles. All four disciplines are often not contested. There are often not enough competitors to award a bronze medal, and in some cases, even a silver medal. Many of these competitions featured no more than two or three participants. And most of the competitors who are listed are redlinked or unlinked (ie. themselves not notable). The competition results and scores are included (or should be included) on a skaters' individual article. The medal results are included on the parent article (in this case, Dutch Figure Skating Championships). But these nations with small national championships are just not worth trying to maintain individual articles for each competition. Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:29, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect all. Such articles create huge fragmentation and repeat data that we need and already carry, with data that we do not need to carry as a general encyclopedia. The extra data is the domain of sport databases. Figure skating is not a big sport in the Netherlands. Speed skating is. Even there, where we could justify the annual spinoffs, we suffer from too much data and too little writeup. gidonb (talk) 04:12, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting as it seems like most of these bundled nominations have been turned into Redirects.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 08:42, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Liz, you can redirect all of these articles. I included that as an option in the original nomination, and the end result is the same. Bgsu98 (Talk) 16:16, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
