Laureus World Sports Award for Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability

 * Nominator(s): Harrias  talk, The Rambling Man (talk) 10:12, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Based off the similar Laureus World Sports Award for Sportswoman of the Year, which is well on its way to becoming a FL, this list honours those disabled athletes who have excelled. I have an open FLC, Featured list candidates/Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize in Mathematics/archive1, but that has three supports and no outstanding comments. Harrias talk 10:12, 2 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Support – I got no other comments or concerns. Great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 16:10, 4 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Support Great job and . Look forward to seeing the rest of the series come to FLC. Cheers – Ianblair23 (talk) 02:20, 5 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I have no other issues I wish to bring up so I will give my unequivocal Support. Cheers. MWright96 (talk) 20:49, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

Support Comments from JennyOz

Hi TRM and Harrias, here are my first comments/questions.


 * Infobox, Awarded for - formats differ ie Sportswoman, Sportsman, Team, Breakthrough, Comeback, Sport for Good, and Spirit, all have quotes and ref but Disability, Action, and Lifetime do not.


 * Prose, First sentence - "Paralympic sports" is piped to Disabled sports. Laureuas talks of "sport in the Paralympic programme" which I presume means a disabled athlete, competing in a sport which would not normally be an event type at summer or winter Paralympics, cannot be eligible to be nominated? If so, why do we pipe to Disabled sports which includes intellectual disabilities eg Special Olympics, Invictus Games and "unified sports" ie teams that include members with and without disabilities. Remove pipe and simply link to Paralympic sports?
 * "The Laureus World Sports Academy then select the winner" - selects?
 * "The first winner of the award was the Australian wheelchair racer, Louise Sauvage, who had won three medals, at the 2000 Sydney Paralympics" - not sure if the comma after "medals" is needed
 * "In 2002, Esther Vergeer, a wheelchair tennis..." insert Dutch?
 * Esther Vergeer - "... Vergeer won 470 matches in a row, collecting... " - her records were over career til she retired 2013 but this could read as if she'd achieved them before the 2002 award. Maybe insert "over her career" or "who went on to win" or "before retiring in 2013" or similar?
 * "... Daniel Dias has the most wins, collecting the prize three times,... " - add "with a further three nominations" or similar?
 * Dias "collecting the prize three times,..." - prize should be award?
 * "...while Michael Teuber has been nominated..." - add 'German' and 'racing cyclist'?
 * "...Michael Teuber has been nominated the most without winning, doing so on four occasions." - doing so should be 'being so'?
 * "The 2004 winner, Earle Connor..." - add Canadian sprinter?
 * Connor - ref 12 ("Earle Connor (Rescinded)") only says the award was rescinded (not also the nomination) this and this?
 * "Swimmers have been the most successful at the awards, with 5 wins and 20 nominations," - I'm only seeing 4 and 18
 * "... followed by athletics with 4 wins and 25 nominations." - I count 6 wins and 26 noms? (or if reduced for Connor, 5 and 25, and, if so, does prose sentence need a note?)

Am starting on tables now:) Regards, JennyOz (talk) 11:50, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * hi Jenny, thanks for that, all addressed I hope. Look forward to the table review.  Don't mention the cricket.  Cheers! The Rambling Man (talk) 12:09, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Cool, thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:49, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * 2014 Marie Bochet - photo says it's of Petra Kozickova of Slovakia but maybe mislabelled?
 * Yes, a Google image search substantiates it's not Petra (who looks like this) and is indeed Marie. I'll confirm with the uploader and suggest the file details are changed. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:49, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Winners' sports
 * 2002 Sauvage, 2005 Petitclerc, 2006 van Dyk - pipe their Athletics to Wheelchair racing?

(Not sure why Laureus has Petushkov as Nordic skiing. In Sochi 2014 he won 3 gold in each of cross country and biathlon. Not our problem though.)
 * Alan Fontelles /Fonteles / is listed on Laureus as Alan Oliveira. There was a RM consensus on talk page 2013 that it should be at Oliviera but was moved back Dec 2016. Should this Laureus page at least use Alan Oliveira which is what the ref uses?
 * Yes, we'll use the Laureus ref as source here. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:49, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * (Indeed... The Rambling Man (talk) 10:49, 5 December 2017 (UTC))


 * Refs - all years' winners and nominations verified with working refs
 * ref 19 Andrew Baker telegraph piece date is 23 may
 * ref 43 teamusa, byline says International Paralympic Committee
 * Both done. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:49, 5 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Statistics
 * Key - swap "Indicates total(s) exclude those of individuals whose award(s) and/or nomination(s) were later rescinded" for the simpler "Indicates totals which exclude rescissions" per Comeback?
 * Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:49, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
