"2025 in PDC" and "2025 PDC Pro Tour"

I think some distinction needs to be made as to what information is displayed in these pages. At the moment, the 2025 in PDC article is looking like it's going to be the same as 2025 PDC Pro Tour but even longer which is an issue (see maintenance tag on 2024 PDC Pro Tour).

I would appreciate a discussion about this before ranked events begin. Greenflipper (talk) 15:03, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would bring in the creator of the 2025 in PDC page to this JamesVilla44 (talk) 15:29, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

One of the ways to reduce the size would be to have sub-articles, but they’ve had notability issues in the past and been deleted. The only Challenge Tour articles we have are 2022 and 2024 and the only Development Tours are 2022, 2023 (re-created after being accepted by articles for creation) and 2024. The only Players Championship series articles we have are 2021 (re-created with secondary sources added), 2022, 2023 (also re-created with secondary sources added) and 2024. JamesVilla44 (talk) 15:55, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of these were because of poor referencing by banned user JRRobinson, not attempting to use secondary sources when available. JamesVilla44 (talk) 15:56, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I had the idea of keeping the affiliate tours (Asia, N&B etc.) on 2025 in PDC but removing them from 2025 PDC Pro Tour, leaving that page for PCs, ETs and the secondary tours. But I don't know if that's ideal

Sub-articles for CT and DT are fine if they're being accepted Greenflipper (talk) 16:14, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah

2025 PT - PC, ET, CT, DT, WS

2025 PDC - Premier and Televised Events, Affiliated? JamesVilla44 (talk) 16:50, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense to me, but I'll wait for consensus Greenflipper (talk) 16:56, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think I'd agree with that split. OZOO (t) (c) 18:32, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Updating player biographies

I've added some player pages to the Open Tasks section of the WikiProject that stop abruptly and don't include updates for recent years, just so people are aware and see if anyone is open to updating them. Greenflipper (talk) 21:25, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Runners-up

Hi! We had this discussion a while back on the snooker WikiProject, and it applies here too. On player biographies, under rankings finals, it'll say the word "runners-up" and then a number. This shows how many events they lost in the final. The word "runners-up" only means when there are multiple runner-up places, such as if a final had four participants, it does not mean the plural of being a runner-up.

I would suggest removing this, as all of the information is already in the table, and just have "PDC major finals: 7 (5 titles)", or even "Five PDC major titles (from seven finals)" or similar. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:09, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would support this change on the darts side JamesVilla44 (talk) 22:28, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"PDC major finals: 7 (5 titles)" sounds like the better option Greenflipper (talk) 15:24, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

World Masters in infobox

Noticed an edit to Thibault Tricole that added his 2025 PDC World Masters preliminary round result to his infobox. Is this necessary? PDC World Championship prelim best results are listed as "Last 72" but those seem different considering they were played on the main stage in conjunction with the tournament proper. Also we would need to add it to a large amount of player pages. Greenflipper (talk) 00:04, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Summaries

I'm open to feedback on the edits I've made to the 2025 Belgian Darts Open. The European Tour articles can be quite barren so I've added a summary, utilising sources that otherwise could not be cited as they previously wouldn't work context-wise. Greenflipper (talk) 01:45, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you’re happy to do summaries and they’re well cited, I think that improves the quality of the page. It adds overall verifiability and overall substance to the page. DartsF4 (talk) 12:49, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly the sort of thing we should be doing. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:54, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
