I am nominating this for featured list because it think that it meets the criteria. Thanks. :) ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛  Talk Email 11:30, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

A few Comments
 * The image requires alt text, (an image of a medal winner would be nice too, understand though if none are available)
 * Refs 9-11 are not found (dartchery, snooker and table tennis)
 * Why are Ireland and Fiji listed when they didn't win a medal? This doesn't appear to be standard practice on any other wiki pages.
 * Why were there more gold medals awarded than silver (there is an explanation for bronze, but I don't see a corresponding one for gold/silver discrepancy)
 * "The Paralympics are run in parallel with the Olympic Games." the dates given for the paralympics are Nov. 3-12, while the 64 olympics were October 10-24.  I'm confused about this (is it a general statement, or Tokyo specific?)
 * Why the link to the 1964 Summer Olympics medal table? Are the Paralympics really dependent on the Olympics?  Do they not stand out as an event in itself? Perhaps a better link would be "See also: Olympic medal table" as is done on 2008 Summer Paralympics medal table or simply getting rid of it.
 * Dick Thompson doesn't appear to be the same one who won medals that paralympics.
 * Link United States at the 1964 Paralympics in the second paragraph (mention of most medals one), not the third (mention of Dick Thompson as multiple medalist) Ravendrop 04:21, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * All Done. :) ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛  Talk Email 07:02, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Support, looks OK to me. Dipankan  ( Have a chat? ) 13:44, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Oppose unless I can be convinced why this cannot be reasonably included in the main article, i.e. 1964 Summer Paralympics. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:09, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Just to tell, This list has 17 NOCs. Generally, if there are more than 10, we keep the top 10 in the main article (as in 1968 Summer Paralympics, and a separate list for the complete tally. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛  Talk Email 10:23, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * We don't need a separate list if the main article is even smaller than the list itself... The Rambling Man (talk) 10:25, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * In that case, 1968 Summer Paralympics and 1972 Summer Paralympics are also smaller than their lists, however both the lists are FLs. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛  Talk Email 10:45, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, as ever, just because that's the case then, it doesn't mean it's the case now. Let's see what others think.  The Rambling Man (talk) 10:58, 1 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Comments from Crisco 1492
 * If this was actually an IWAS World Games, shouldn't it be made explicit that only wheelchair users were accepted (if true)?
 * The paragraph with persons who won multiple medals should have a lead-in sentence, to improve flow.
 * Why is the information about the US repeated?
 * Also, I'd like to note (in response to The Rambling Man above) that just because an article is a stub now, that doesn't mean it always will be; should the article ever be properly developed, I think a full medal table would be too much on top of all the text. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:50, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm aware that articles can be expanded, but there's really no justification now for a separate list article. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:06, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. :) ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛  Talk Email 10:11, 2 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Support - Prose looks fine (although a more skilled copyeditor may find issues), referencing looks okay, I couldn't find any flaws with the table itself. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:25, 2 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose I have to agree with TRM that this is a 3b violation: given the short size of the main article, this list could reasonably be included in that table. Until the parent article is longer, this can't be a FL, and if the same is true for 1968 and 1972, we may need to re-visit those and consider merging them into the parent articles.

 * I have expanded the main article a bit, maybe it meets the criteria now. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛  Talk Email 10:25, 9 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose: This needs to be merged into 1964 Summer Paralympics, not promoted to FL status.  Good raise  23:28, 13 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose Mainly because of the 3b criterion. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  02:58, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
