SF 2 Split Results

[edit]

I've got a feeling that the SF 2 split results are totally messed up. --Euro Mok (talk) 04:22, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

including 50/50 results in split tables

[edit]

A series of "50/50" results have been added to the split tables for each show on this and several other articles. I removed these as they appear to be unsourced, the methodology used to compile these figures is unexplained, and it is for a voting system which was not used at the time of the contest. I therefore believe this would fall under WP:INDISCRIMINATE, specifically for the point on "Excessive listings of unexplained statistics." @Martinevans123:, as you reverted my edits to remove these figures, are you able to provide further context on why these should remain?

Sims2aholic8, your edit summary was "there is no encyclopaedic value in including results of a different voting system which is no longer in use". Did you actually mean "there is no encyclopaedic value in including results of a different voting system which was not in use at that time"? I certainly have no other sources. Thanks.

@Martinevans123: In this case both of those statements are valid, as the mixed voting system for which the additional details were added has not been used since 2015, but yes to be specific the system was not in use at the time of the contest so my edit summary should have referenced as such. As my original point explained, and has also be raised on the 2021 contest talk page, there are several reasons for the exclusion of these figures, so I will remove these again.

Thank you for explaining. I found your edit summary a little too cryptic. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:13, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
