Talk:Paris Olympics

This redirect was nominated at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion on 27 July 2024. The result of the discussion was withdrawn.

This page should not be an outright redirect to 2024 Summer Olympics, per WP:RECENTISM. Rather, it should be a disambiguation page in the same vein as Los Angeles Olympics, Salt Lake City Olympics, Lake Placid Olympics, Beijing Olympics, and Innsbruck Olympics, to name a few other examples where cities have hosted (or will soon host) multiple Olympic games.

Given that the 2024 Summer Olympics are presently ongoing, though, I don't currently feel strongly that this warrants a "speedy" resolution prior to the conclusion of these Olympics in ~2 weeks. The following factors, though, should be monitored to ensure their balance doesn't worsen in the meantime. At time of writing:

• In the positive, the redirect is helping route ~1,500 pageviews/day which are undoubtedly seeking information on the ongoing games, but
• In the negative, there are already 20 articles in the main namespace which link directly here that will ultimately need to be disambiguated.

I converted this to a redirect. When I did so, I looked at many of the incoming links and did not find a single one that intended to link to this page, but the target was the current Olympic Games. Schwede66 15:35, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

imo this conversion to disambiguation is not controversial and there is clear precedent, it's one of the best ways to make a bad redirect good, I suggest following wp:bold 172.56.179.211 (talk) 16:09, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
