Wikipedia:WikiProject Martial arts/Kickboxing task force/Guidelines for articles about kickboxing events

An article about a kickboxing event should have:
 * 1) Infobox MMA event
 * 2) Lead section
 * 3) Background
 * 4) Event
 * 5) Tournament bracket (only for tournament events)
 * 6) Results.
 * 7) See also
 * 8) Notes (only if necessary)
 * 9) References (must be included in all articles)

Infobox MMA event
Follow the instructions given in the documentation of this template to fill it. It is suggested that you use the format city, country in the city field. Do not add flag icons for locations in the infobox.

Lead section
The lead section should have a brief summary of the most important aspects of the event. Refer to Manual of Style (lead section) for specifics or take a look at an existing event article. It should always begin with a official name of the event, date, location. Example:

Background
Describe and reference with reliable sources the relevant details that occurred prior to a kickboxing event, such as change of venue, change of date, change of card, kickboxers injuries, weight-ins and so on.

Event
Articles about notable events should have a well-sourced prose, not merely a list of results. Write short summaries of the fights, trying to limit them to maximum 100 words per fight. Try to reference text with fight accounts in reliable sources. Follow a chronological order.

Results
Place the bouts in chronological order as they appeared originally during the event.

Tournament bracket
Several kickboxing events have tournaments. Use an appropriate template from Category:Tournament bracket templates. The recommended templates are:
 * 16TeamBracket-Compact-NoSeeds-Byes
 * 8TeamBracket-Compact-NoSeeds-Byes
 * 4TeamBracket-Compact-NoSeeds-Byes

Categories
Do not forget to add the appropriate categories at the end of an article. These are the common categories for kickboxing events.
 * [[Category: Name of the organization events

Notes about kickboxing event articles

 * Do not use your interpretation of a method in the record, but what the sources say. For example, if a source says that the fight was a KO by right hook but you believe it was a TKO by punches, use KO (Right hook). Remember that the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth.
 * Per WP:RED, it is suggested to avoid wikifying kickboxers that do not have an article in Wikipedia yet.
