Quietly Confident Quartet	Mark Kerry - Peter Evans (swimmer) - Mark Tonelli - Neil Brooks

All are GAs; the main article is about the Australian 4x100m medley realy team at the 1980 Olympics. The other four are the four people in the team. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 01:02, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment come on, not even a single image in the entire topic??? Nergaal (talk) 02:29, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did get Daniel (talk · contribs) to get in correspondence with Tonelli, who is a public figure and journalist who is marketing himself and looking for work/gigs on his website, but he refused to reply. Nevertheless, some pictures of important locations in their lives have been added. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 03:06, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did not mean those type of pictures. I find it hard to believe that IOC does not have any pictures that can be used to show the winning quartet. Nergaal (talk) 04:05, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we did give Tonelli a line to ask if he would share his personal photos of the Olympics with us but he didn't reply. The IOC won't even allow us to use their logo, so talking to them is a waste of time. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 04:09, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Impressive work, but I feel Swimming at the 1980 Summer Olympics - Men's 4 x 100 metre medley relay should probably be added. After all, it is the event that made them famous - rst20xx (talk) 03:02, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But it is a quartet... Nergaal (talk) 04:05, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So? The quartet got famous as they won the 4 x 100. Therefore, the 4 x 100 should be included in the topic too - rst20xx (talk) 14:26, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Oppose The lead article is not solely about the people,but also the event. Z gin der 2008-09-11T17:00Z (UTC)
Weak oppose the topic is neat but I'd like to see Swimming at the 1980 Summer Olympics - Men's 4 x 100 metre medley relay in there to complete the subject matter. -- _{Escape Artist Swyer} ^Talk _{Contributions} 23:11, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment You know, renaming the topic to Quietly Confident Quartet members would be more sensible, and the 4X100 article could be added as part of a supp. --Pie is good ^{(Apple is the best)} 19:23, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This would be a blatant workaround to remove one article, and I would consider it oversplitting - rst20xx (talk) 22:38, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
