816:: The reality of the situation is that the coronavirus epidemic will have significant and lasting flow-on effects on many aspects of society, both large and small. If there is significant widespread coverage of the smaller things being affected, then there isn't really any reason to exclude it on the basis that it's a smaller matter than much more important issues; 56:. Clear consensus that the article cannot stay on its own. Seems like there is a consensus as well that some of the material can be kept in the main Olympics article(s) so this is a merge rather than plain deletion, with the exact nature of the content to be kept presumably up for discussion through the usual means. 890: 994:
While it is clear that the unprecedented postponement of the Summer Olympics is worth noting, I don't see any reason for us to create another page or Knowledge entry entirely devoted to that matter. A lot of sporting events other than the Olympics have either cancelled or postponed as well, including
623:; there is just about nothing to say except that it was postponed to 2021. It would make much more sense just to discuss the qualifying tournaments in the article in which they would normally be discussed, because all the upcoming ones have been postponed. This is really an indiscriminate list.— 995:
the qualifying rounds for most of Olympic sports. It's better to briefly include a section in the main Tokyo 2020 page about the postponement, and merge other important details (e.g. qualifying events that got cancelled) into one entry outlining the impact of Coronavirus in sports in general.
245:. The article was created when there was speculation about what impact the pandemic would have on the games, but has blown out of proportion. We now know that the games will not be held on the date originally planned, so the short paragraph on that can be moved to the main page for the 210: 136: 131: 140: 123: 960:
Yes I understand there are specialisms. And I understand sport- I actually have a sport DYK on the front page right now. And I don't believe the article is needed, because the relevant information (the Games postponement, torch relay) can go in the main

This frenzy to list every item in the news in the encyclopedia does not require this page: "Everything was canceled or postponed" gets you the gist. Details can go in the main Olympics page, the individual event pages, and the Impact on Sports page.
127: 886: 204: 119: 71: 821: 500:"piecemeal coverage about qualifiers in individual countries" is not true. It's not about individual countries but about the international Olympic qualification tournaments. This information should be kept together. 885:, and you have not fully addressed my points yet. I believe I've provided a reasonable use of examples in an attempt to explain my point, and am not merely arguing that "other stuff exists". Consider also 882: 170: 1016:: the disjointed directory-like list of cancellations, together with the reactions and financial impact sections, could easily be summarized in the corresponding section of the main article. Unnecessary 396:
announcing the postponement. If more in-depth stuff pops up in the future, then the article can be re-created. But otherwise, like others have said before, it can just be its own little blurb on the
449:. Since the IOC has announced that it is going to reschedule the entire Olympics, we don't need sport-by-sport coverage of the cancelled/postponed qualifying tournaments in this separate article. -- 1052: 1031: 1004: 980: 954: 873: 845: 806: 790: 772: 747: 720: 665: 642: 611: 582: 559: 538: 509: 492: 469: 456: 437: 414: 384: 361: 343: 318: 298: 278: 258: 65: 225: 1073: 680: 595: 401: 192: 477:
selectivwly merge the important information into the Olympics page. We don't need a separate page for this. Frankly the number of "Impact of coronavirus on X" pages are getting silly.

There are more self-contained things that could be broken out to reduce the page size. All the tables of venues is a good candidate—that just breaks up the flow of the article.

The rewrite should be discussed in somewhere suitable if someone wants to do so. 186: 182: 163: 232: 820:, and we can afford to go into more minute detail on very specific topics.
