MOS:ICON. This shouldn't even have a discussion. Human (talk) 13:46, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply

The "harm" is that it is unnecessary decoration in violation of

MOS:ICON. Do the colour boxes really help anyone? People aren't generally looking for the colours when searching for a team in the league table or in a list of results, so these icons are an unnecessary distraction, especially for our readers who may be visually impaired and have trouble identifying the colours. – PeeJay 14:27, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply

Agree with the above comment. This doesn't add any additional information and hence can be deemed unnecessary. This is also not some official flag like national flags which was the case in CPL. SaGa (talk) 14:40, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with PJ: ditch the colo(u)r boxes. They don't mean anything, are distracting and breach

MOS:ICON. Spike 'em (talk) 14:43, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply

Agree, seems like a violation of MOS:ICON; colours are purely decorative and don't really add anything. wjemather^{please leave a message...} 14:45, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Get rid, they don't add anything, as per above comment. Unlike the flags on Caribbean Premier League which make sense as each team represents a different country. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:49, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure they are valid in CPL either: the teams are franchises that happen to be based in different countries; they are not national teams. Spike 'em (talk) 15:58, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @A Simple Human:, @PeeJay:, @Sagavaj:, @Wjemather:, @Joseph2302:, @Spike 'em:, Color boxes are added for identifying respective teams easily. Without them, one would search a team name in every 56 matches, which is quite tough. I ask sorry for not adding the alt text in color boxes, which is important to make them accessible for the visually impaired users.

Color boxes are similar to adding colorful international flags before every teams, which helps in easier identification. They're used for encyclopedic purpose only, not decorative. "Icons should serve an encyclopedic purpose and not merely be decorative. They should provide additional useful information on the article subject, serve as visual cues that aid the reader's comprehension, or improve navigation."

So, I request all of you to support this idea. Thank you.

Selva15469: Easier identification is not an encyclopedic purpose. It does not add any infos. And colors and pseudoflags have been removed from other leagues before. You can just use ctrl+F and type in keywords to find what you need. Human (talk) 04:33, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply

At fist glance, they look very similar to me, and if anything makes it harder for identification. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:18, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how colours make them easier to identify, and

MOS:COLOR also says that colours shouldn't be used as a primary way of identifying thinhs, which is what this is trying to do. Only serious fans would know the team colours anyway, so they add nothing to a normal, casual reader. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:42, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply

No. Fair-use of copyrighted logos only extends to very limited use, and that would far exceed that limitation. Not only that, the size they'd need to shrink down to would make them indistinguishable. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 08:16, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, those are covered by

MOS:LOGO too. It also states Generally, addition of logos to article prose or tabular data does not improve the encyclopedia and leads to confusing visual clutter. whic covers color boxes too. Spike 'em (talk) 08:18, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply

Also, please note that there used to be a set of {{cr-IPL}} templates that used to do this (add little coloured icons, sometimes with a stripe) and they were deleted, along with their PSL and BPL counterparts here. Spike 'em (talk) 08:22, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In which case, there is a very clear consensus from that TfD not to have these. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:47, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone else think that listing 10 sponsors per team is completely excessive per

Agree. Wikipedia is not a

promotional tool/advertising medium. Detailing main sponsors is acceptable, but that is all. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 17:29, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply

Wikipedia is not for promotion that's right But i have seen many articles of sports leagues with sponcers listed around 10. Abhishe78 (talk) 03:29, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Check these articles https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2%80%9321_La_Liga https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2%80%9321_Thai_League_1 Abhishe78 (talk) 03:32, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Thai league one looks completely excessive to me too. Just because another article is poorly written does not mean this one needs to as well. I think the 3 main sponsors currently listed is more than enough. What encyclopaedic value does it add to list 10 minor sponsors? Spike 'em (talk) 08:11, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. And to be clear about my earlier comments, my preference is to get rid of all such listings as there is no particular relevance or significance to the edition of the tournament. They may warrant mention in the team articles in the context of the sponsorship deals (i.e. not an indiscriminate list) where there are sufficient reliable sources to confirm significance to the subject (e.g. main sponsors, title sponsors, etc.). In other words, it may be appropriate to detail some shirt sponsors in an article about the team they are sponsoring, but probably not in an article about the competition they play in. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 10:34, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't it be renamed to 2020-21 Indian Premier League as per the naming conventions of tournaments? --PratyyaG (talk) 15:59, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Pratyya Ghosh: Not really. The original tournament was in the 2020 season so it is named that way. Also see my message on your talk page. Thanks Human (talk) 05:33, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
