Para-skiing classification

 * Contributor(s): Hawkeye7 and User:LauraHale

A workshop session with the Australian Paralympic Committee before the 2012 London Games led to creation of a series of articles on Paralympic classification. I was sceptical about them, but it turns out that they were right and I was wrong; the classification articles proved more popular than the articles on sports or athletes, as people turned to the Wikipedia for explanation of what they were seeing during the Games. Articles on Winter Sports classification were created later in 2012, and now they form a new Good Topic. Because Para-alpine and para-Nordic share classifications, this topic has an unusual (but far from unique) double-barrelled lead. --Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:22, 10 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Seems complete but I am wondering how come you haven't focused on a topic covering all the winter Paralympic sports? Nergaal (talk) 11:01, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * These are the only winter sports for which separate articles were created for the classifications. So the idea was that this would form a subtopic of a larger one covering all the winter disability sports. Hawkeye7 (talk) 12:43, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Just of curiosity, which one would be missing to have a complete topic? Nergaal (talk) 09:01, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Looking at the Winter Sports section in the ribbon, there would only be Para-snowboarding classification, Sledge hockey classification, Sledge racing classification and Wheelchair curling classification. Plus a lead article. At the moment everything follows the template:Para-skiing classifications and template:Disability sports classification ribbons, and there is no intention of creating a separate topic for Winter disability sports classification. The idea is to create one on Disability Sports Classification. Hawkeye7 (talk) 10:21, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Then I would prefer a lead article along the lines of Disability winter sport classification. Nergaal (talk) 12:15, 23 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Close without consensus to promote to Good Topic. Due to lack of activity and no further discussion over the past month, this nomination will be closed. However, you can re-nominate the topic at any time.--  十  八  19:41, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
