This article is almost four years old. From the start it has been a very long list of mostly non-notable people with almost no references to back it up. It needs to be properly referenced or else stubbed to what is actually sourced, sent for deletion or moved to drafts until it meets the standards to be in mainspace. Unless anyone has refs that can be quickly added, I advocate for moving it to drafts. Please see the policies at
WP:V and especially Jimmy Wales quote there I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons.

To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources. As explained in § Encyclopedic content above, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Wikipedia articles should not be: ... Excessive listings of unexplained statistics..... That means at least two (multiple) refs like magazine reports or similar that deal with the events' significance and not just report race results without comment. Right now there are dozens of similar lists of sailing race results on en.wikipedia that lack these third party refs. I know you have put a lot of work into creating them, but I am concerned that they all fail to meet WP:GNG and WP:EVENT and that at some point some editor will just put them all up for mass deletion at WP:AFD. Without proper referencing they are not going to survive that process. - Ahunt ( talk) 13:38, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
All the results of the championships are linked here. Medallist are listed in this article, as in all articles of the Category:Medalists in sailing, while winners are included at the article about the championship ( Commodore Hub E. Isaacks and O'Leary Trophies). -- Banderas ( talk) 06:10, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
