Djibouti at the Olympics
Djibouti has participated in eight Summer Olympic Games as of the completion of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Djibouti has never competed in the Winter Olympic Games. Only one Djiboutian athlete has ever won a medal at the Olympics, marathon runner Hussein Ahmed Salah, who won a bronze medal in the 1988 marathon.

Meets all the criteria of a Good Topic. Comprehensive, covers every Olympics that Djibouti has competed in. --Kees08 (talk) 20:20, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Shouldn't List of flag bearers for Djibouti at the Olympics also be part of the topic?--  十  八  22:32, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah I can see that point of view. In my opinion, with how little information there would be for Djibouti flagbearers at the Olympics, I would recommend merging the two articles, but I am not sure how the person that made the flagbearers nav box would feel about that. I could always link to the appropriate section in the nav box. Kees08 (talk) 23:47, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Or leave it as a redirect in the template, but yeah, the list is entirely included in the main article (and in a prettier way) and so should be redirected to there and not included in this topic. -- Pres N  23:58, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I think that is best. I will start working on that. I have never done a merge before so I'll check it out. Kees08 (talk) 03:28, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I would advise against merging or converting the flag bearer article to a redirect given that it is part of a series of articles of that type (see Category:Lists of Olympic flag bearers by country) designed to create consistency across all nations that have competed at the Games. At the very least try and get some opinions at WT:OLY first - Ba se me nt 12  (T.C) 16:03, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Can do, process initiated. Kees08 (talk) 02:52, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * The merge is complete. Kees08 (talk) 06:51, 20 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Support even without the flagbearers list. To me that is a fork, that doesn't need to be split for a few decades. Plus it is just a meaningless stat to be the flagbearer. If anything I think having the lone medalist would be more important. Nergaal (talk) 12:26, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Support without the flagbearers article, I see no reason for that to even exist -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:59, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Support – Very good work on getting this topic to the state it has become. I concur with the views of the two other users over the issue concerning the flag bearers article. It is in no way useful to this topic. MWright96 (talk) 18:52, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Support - complete collection of high-quality articles. Nice work. –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 04:35, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: It has been almost 30 days, should be long enough to promote, per the guidelines on this page 'Nominations will stay here for ten days if there is unanimous consent, or longer if warranted by debate.' Kees08 (talk) 06:06, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I was actually just about to ping and ask about that myself --Cameron11598 (Talk) 00:01, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Closed with a consensus to promote to Good Topic. --  十  八  01:14, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
