Talk:NHK Trophy

Note on 1995 Pairs Result

According to the ISU, the bronze medalists in 1995 were Kyoko Ina and John Zimmerman. This is problematic because Ina was still skating with Jason Dungjen in 1995. Pairs on Ice has the bronze medalists as being Natalia Krestianinova & Aleksei Torchinsky. While I'm trusting Pairs on Ice for all the before-GP years, I used the ISU's results for this, in faith that maybe they just got Ina's partner wrong. Was anyone at the competition/have better knowledge of who the actual bronze medalists were? Kolindigo 08:11, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Renaming proposal

I propose to rename this article NHK Trophy (figure skating). User:Kolindigo suggested the name. The reason is that NHK, the Japanese broadcaster, sponsors more than a dozen competitions with the name "NHK Trophy." See ja:NHK杯 for a fuller list of trophies that NHK awards. These include go and shogi, gymnastics, horse racing and bicycle racing. In addition, NHK awards a trophy with the same name at competitions such as sumo, rugby football, and football (soccer).

The title NHK Trophy should be for an article covering all of these. Initially most would be red links. Editors may create articles when they wish, with the structure in place and a systematic, well-thought-out naming convention.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan#NHK Trophy has a small amount of additional discussion.

My one concern about this is the "Initially most would be red links" part combined with the may part of "Editors may create articles when they wish". I don't like the idea of making a disambiguation page either just for the sake of having a disambiguation page or so that this will match Japanese Wikipedia. As long as other articles are created (or already exist) that share the name and so a disambig page is necessary, I have no problem. BTW, just curious, how notable or important are the other trophies that NHK hands out? Kolindigo (talk) 20:17, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

@Olliefant: Let me know when you have a chance to review this article! 😃 Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:58, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

I'll get comments up hopefully within the week or so Olliefant (she/her) 17:59, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Why is this at GAN and not FLC like similar articles? Olliefant (she/her) 20:43, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Because I'm limited to how many articles I can submit to FLC, but not to GAN. Most of the Grand Prix articles have gone through GA. Only Grand Prix de France (figure skating) went through FLC, but it had a lot more meat than this one.Bgsu98 (Talk) 20:49, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Okay Olliefant (she/her) 11:22, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

@Bgsu98: sorry for the delay but I've got comments posted. I didn't really find much Olliefant (she/her) 11:33, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Lead

• Is NHK an acronym for something?

• NHK is a broadcasting company in Japan, and while I'm sure they are the longtime sponsor, I can't find an actual source to back that up. I am hampered by being totally unable to read Japanese. Unlike some of the other languages I don't speak but can still navigate, like Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, etc., I'm at a total loss with Japanese. Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:01, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
• This is the only "source" I've been able to find. But what kind of fly-by-night site is this?!? 😂 Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:28, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
• Okay, I found this. Skate Guard Blog is already on the list of vetted sources by the Figure Skating WikiProject. Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:34, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

History

• Delink either "Champions Series" or "Grand Prix Series" as they lead to the same article

•  Done Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:02, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

• "Great Britain" -> "United Kingdom"

• In skating (and I'm guessing most sports), the country is referred to as Great Britain. Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:02, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Medalists

• Fine

Records

• "Ref" -> "Ref(s)"

•  Done Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:02, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Cumulative medal count

• While this would arguably fall under WP:CALC, could these tables be sourced in the section?

• There is no single source that contains this information; it is sourced to the tables above per WP:CALC. Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:04, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

References

• Spot checks found nothing
• Ref 4 uses DMY dates instead of MDY like the rest of the page

•  Done, thank you for pointing that out! Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:03, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

• Ref 5 link "Associated Press"

•  Done Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:35, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

@Olliefant: Thank you for taking the time to review my article! I believe I have addressed all of your concerns. Also, let me know what category I should chose a GAN as part of my review pledge! Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:35, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
