Unsourced, and apparently unsourceable intersection between medals won in the 1968 Summer Paralympics and 1968 Summer Olympics. Duplicates existing content without adding any meaningful context. - MrX 13:50, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Both Have never seen this kind of intersection in WP:RS. These are two different and distinct events, especially in 1968 when there wasn't a formal (or informal for that matter) relationship between the two groups.  Ravendrop 18:01, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's original research to suggest that one can combine the medal tables of the two events into one and get a meaningful result. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:48, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Due to the addition of the combined 1960 medal table to the nomination, please count this as a "delete all" recommendation for that and any similar medal tables that may exist. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:22, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- It is only in recent times that the Paralympics have received significant coverage. Before the last few, they are probably best regarded as a much less notable contest than the Olympics.  I too regard this as WP:OR.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:07, 25 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete all Paralympic medal tables are notable, as are Olympic medal tables, but no reason to combine them. It's WP:OR. Smartyllama (talk) 18:29, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete all. Combining legitimate, but unrelated, material and using it to draw conclusions in this way is the very definition of novel synthesis. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 20:46, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
