This is a proposal to create and improve WikiProject Badminton, a WikiProject specializing in badminton players and tournaments.

Background
There are currently over 300 articles about this subject (see Category:Badminton biography stubs, Category:Badminton at the Olympics and Category: Badminton tournaments) and many of them are stubs.

Some articles have remained stubs for more than three months, some with just single sentences. A WikiProject will help to highlight these problems and improve the articles.

Badminton is a popular sport, with many tournaments being played. By establishing a WikiProject, many player and tournament articles will be created and improved, just like football (soccer).

Aims
The aims will be to:
 * Encourage the creation of new badminton articles such as players and tournaments.
 * Provide a centralized discussion point for articles about badminton players and tournaments.


 * Standardize and improve the articles in Wikipedia:
 * Improve information about players (biography, participated tournaments, honours, awards – information can be taken from IBF website)
 * Improve information about tournaments (tournaments description, venue, teams, seeded entries, results)


 * Create an interesting portal if needed.

The WikiProject
The WikiProject will be split to three:
 * WikiProject Badminton/Players
 * WikiProject Badminton/Individual competition
 * WikiProject Badminton/National competition

This WikiProject needs to be split because different topics have different formats for their articles.

Interwiki relations
Since badminton is an international sport, we should strive to increase relations with the international community.
