I feel that this list is comprehensive, well sourced, and unbiased as well as being stable and free of edit wars. -Drdisque (talk) 05:17, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose A lot of these incidents don't have individual citations. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 05:20, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose subjective with no proper criteria for inclusion. eg, in the cricket section there were numerous more notable incidents that were not mentioned. Sunil Gavaskar got pelted a few times etc, etc, a few punches that I can't remember in the Tour de France. Bill Lawry poking away a photographer who ran onto the pitch with his bat. And of course Inzy and the aloo incident. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:24, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the article is massively recentist and American-heavy. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed; it would serve better (if at all) being split up into articles for each specific sport or, even better, league. --Golbez (talk) 20:00, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose also, for reasons including being both recentism and American-centric. I don't think this is as comprehensive as it could be (or needs to be for FL), and I don't think it's quite ready. Lack of images is also a concern. Daniel 03:34, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Blnguyen. There are more spectator incidents around the world that need to be covered by this list. Given that, this list will probably never be complete, but an attempt can be made to cover incidents from all types of sports in all countries. Nishkid64 (talk) 03:35, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
