Talk:Saint Kitts and Nevis at the Olympics

Merger proposal

Howdy there. I would like to merge St. Kitts and Nevis Olympic Committee into this page. There are only two sentences which are both included. There is some information in the infobox as well, but I plan on including that and more into this article. This article is not very long, and it will fit nicely into it. Let me know if you have any issues with it. I do not see the other article ever being of substantial size. Kees08 (Talk) 21:26, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

This article is going to be put on hold until all of the above issues have been addressed. MWright96 (talk) 17:36, 23 October 2017 (UTC) @MWright96: I think I fixed everything, let me know if you notice anything else. Thanks! Kees08 (Talk) 05:19, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

• @Kees08: Looks all good. Can now promote to GA. Pleas note that I fixed some dab links in the flagbearers sub-section.

GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

• There is no information in the article about the 2024 Olympics
• The lead is too short and does not summarise all major aspects of the article.

Is anyone willing to address these concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 00:29, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

I still have no idea why this is on my watchlist (and has been there for like... years) but I can probably take a stab at adding a few lines. Primefac (talk) 10:51, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Done, though I'm not really sure how much extra needs to be added to the lead other than the new placement in swimming. Primefac (talk) 15:29, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
