Drawing a line

When

Current sports events was first created, we used it to generally list items of international interest – international country and club football matches, world championships, Olympics, etc. Nowadays we seem to be listing purely national results (English domestic cricket results, English Premiership, Spanish La Liga, NBA basketball, MLB). Should we be doing this? Where do we draw the line? -- Arwel 17:38, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply

Personally, I tend not to add domestic cricket results (I do add internationals when I remember) - I find them too unimportant for this page (if every sport did this, we'd be looking at a 200K page every month) I won't delete them either, though.

I say if it is a generally-recognized sport (even if it is confined to two contries like Aussie rules footy and rugby league, it should still be all right) then anything goes. --J L C Leung 12:04, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm quite looking forward to the Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi, South African, Zimbabwean, West Indian, New Zealand and Australian seasons though, jguk 20:34, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
