Talk:Nikolay Atanasov

Comments

 * "Nikolay Atanasov-Joko". Is Joko a nickname or really part of his name?
 * If 10.56 is not a part of his WA profile, which builds on Tillastopaja data, it can not be considered an official PB. It has to be verified with date, location and wind. People can write all kinds of things in various profiles but we need to have this as solid as possible. Geschichte (talk) 10:47, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Geschichte, thanks for these comments, I will try to respond.
 * I think it's both a nickname and part of his name, as evidenced by how it is his most-used name by Bulgarian sources and by how it is described: (translated) Apart from talent, the long jump athlete inherited the nickname from his father. Where did Joko come from? The son was given the explanation that his father's nickname came from a movie character. [...] Open to input from a Bulgarian language speaker on this though.
 * Wikipedia doesn't rely on any single authoritative source for athletics data. World Athletics data does not build on Tilastopaja data, they are completely independently collected – WA database was seeded by buying all-athletics.com a few years ago, and there is no data-sharing agreement between the two organizations as far as I'm aware. There are many performances/athletes that one DB has but the other doesn't, and there are many inaccuracies and missing performances in both databases especially before 2018 (for WA) or ~2003 (for Tilastopaja).
 * World Athletics mentions this PB at least twice  as well as contemporary media reports, so I would consider that "official" by that standard. If we say that doesn't count, then we can't consider any PB "official" before 2003, because both World Athletics and Tilastopaja databases are highly incomplete before that date.
