Would you suggest one article per date, or perhaps 3-4 articles for the month?-- Jax 0677 ( talk) 04:27, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Motor Racing, Formula 1, German Grand prix, Winner Lewis Hamilton. There was a 12 car pile up on lap 2.

Mixed Doubles ...
In the 4th round, the umpires chair was knocked over by Pat Sampras
Dick Dastardly was disqualified for drugs use
I trust this would do for starters. If you apply these ideas and you end up with a very small article, then perhaps some details could be re-introduced. I suspect that the article will still be too large. When the article is reduced to say 75k then there is a chance that some of the criticisms leveled above will be no longer valid and the article would in fact be a useful article. Hope this helps.

I recommend splitting the information into multiple articles by category (season, popularity, relevance, type of sport [football & rugby; lacrosse, hockey, soccer, & handball; baseball, cricket, & softball], location, etc...) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dylanvt ( talk • contribs) 18:38, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
I was going to do as I originally suggested, but the article was so dreadful that I have had to split it per sport as an interim measure just so that it is possible to see what is what. I now need to pay attention to the real world. I know the split job is absolutely dreadful, if when I come back, I find someone has started to tidy up then I will know it was worthwile and I need not go to the next step. If not then I will implement my suggestion. Op47 ( talk) 19:55, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
I have given the article a bit of a prune as detailed above. I did try splitting by sport, but at least 1 page was nominated for deletion and it looks like it will get deleted. Rather than wait for that to happen, went ahead with the pruning stage. I noticed that there a lot of inconsistencies, so the article needs more work. At least it is editable now. Once again, the real world demand my attention so the article will have to be as it is. Op47 ( talk) 21:41, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
