Wikipedia:Proposed article splits
| This page has a backlog that requires the attention of willing editors. Please remove this notice when the backlog is cleared. |
Proposed article splits is a noticeboard for active discussions to split an article into separate articles. Usually, articles are split if they're too large or an element of an existing article gains enough notability. Before listing a split discussion here, read Wikipedia:Splitting and initiate a discussion on the article's talk page. Listing an ongoing split discussion here is purely optional.
This noticeboard is not for:
- Proposing splits without starting a discussion on the article's talk page. Listings that do not link to a split discussion will be removed from this noticeboard.
- Discussing proposed splits. A link to the split discussion should be included in the listing and consensus to split should be reached there, not on this noticeboard. Comments of support or opposition may be removed.
- Listing article merges or moves. For these, see Wikipedia:Merging and Wikipedia:Moving a page;
If a split is unlikely to be contested, you can be bold and complete it without initiating a discussion. If your split is later contested, another editor can revert and discuss it. To see all articles currently tagged for splitting, see § Articles proposed for splitting, as well as Category:Articles proposed for splitting. If consensus to split is reached on the article's talk page, the listing on this noticeboard should be moved into the section § Articles currently being split and tagged with {{Await}}'''Awaiting split...'''. If consensus against splitting is reached, the listing can be tagged with {{Not done}} and it can be archived.
To tag the article and initiate a split discussion, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Splitting § Procedure. Once the article has been tagged and a discussion has been opened, you can list the split discussion to the bottom of this list using the format:
* '''Split''' [[Original article]] into [[First split article]] and [[Second split article]]. {{Discussing|talkpage=Talk:Destination page#Section name}} ~~~~
Articles proposed for splitting
[edit]- Split The Grand Tour into The Grand Tour (2026). The new series is a reboot, and deserves a separate page (an attempt to be bold with it was reversed, so I have started a discussion instead).

- Split Great Britain women's national baseball team into Great Britain women's national baseball team and History of women's baseball in the United Kingdom. The history section of this page is long, has sufficient citations, and is tangential to the actual national team.
