What is the point of having "World rankings: Top ten badminton players as of July 28, 2016"-template? Does it get regularly updated (otherwise it seems rather random not to say useless)? For which Badminton players should it be included? Actives ones?-- Kmhkmh ( talk) 11:53, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

In the first paragraph of the article, there's a line saying that Marin is widely regarded as one of the greatest female athletes in women's singles badminton and the only source, which is a now removed biographic article on olympicchannel.com, used the words considered one of the greatest badminton players of all time. For what I know, Olympic Channel, from the website to Youtube, always tend to use big words to promote athletes. Yes Marin has won Olympic gold and is the first in women's singles to achieve 3 WCH titles, but her results at other tournaments are not very outstanding. She only got into All-England Final once (which she won) and never won any Year-end final (only one-time finalists). For Super Series or Super 500+ she only won 15 titles, quite moderate if you compare to Lin Dan, Lee Chong Wei, Fu Haifeng, Cai Yun, Setiawan, Zhang Nan, Zhao Yunlei...those who are considered one of the greatest in their fields, and in women's singles there are Susi Susanti, Zhang Ning, Tai Tzu-ying, Ye Zhaoying...who are more decorated than her. So I think describing Marin as "one of the greatest" is quite a bold statement since lots of great players don't have that in their articles and those who have it have far more titles, and her H2H records against other World No.1 players are more negative than positive.
Still in the same line, Marin is written to holds the distinction of having won a medal in almost every BWF tournament. I mean why is this a big thing that someone decided to put it right next to greatest female athletes in WS? In the last 10 years many players also achieved that: Tai Tzu-ying, Yamaguchi, Chen Yufei, Wang Yihan, Okuhara, Li Xuerui... That's not "distiction" at all.
In conclusion, I think that line is an overstatement and also include inaccurate information. Therefore I removed it and am very pleased to have discussion here.
