Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 22 November 2021

Hello. Ronaldo has won 34 trophies and not 32 as mentioned in the article. The uncounted trophies are the FA Community Shield 2008 and the UEFA Super Cup 2016. Although Ronaldo did not play both games the titles must be added as he was part of the team squad, in addition to being collective awards. Enclosed references:

Edit request for section "2022-present: Desire to leave United

The following sentence (the reference for it is 313) needs a minor grammar fix - "take" instead of "taken":

"Ten Hag later named Ronaldo as captain for a league game against Aston Villa on 6 November, saying that Ronaldo was "an important part of the squad, we are happy with him and now he has to taken even more of the leader role".

Proposed merge of UR Cristiano into Cristiano Ronaldo

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was Merge. Almost everyone seems to agree a merge is needed, along with others at Talk:UR Cristiano. win8x (talking | spying) 13:07, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feels a bit too soon, the YouTube channel may only get coverage right now and none in the future. win8x (talking | spying) 12:09, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The channel is breaking records and passes notability as it has multiple sources covering it, I think it’s too soon to propose a merge. V.B.Speranza (talk) 13:37, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chanel already have achievements and separated media coverage, so it should be separated article 178.84.212.158 (talk) 10:20, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There’s coverage mostly about one thing: the subscriber count. I think it would fit better as a small section in the main article. win8x (talking | spying) 14:34, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not enough info for a separate article so definitely merge. All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 10:46, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to the Main Page, to the section "Outside football" - The YouTube channel is a part of Ronaldo's internet presence. His Instagram account doesn't have its own article despite it being the second-most followed account there. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 17:56, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Cristiano Ronaldo#Outside football. Channel isn't independently notable. Yoshiman makes a good point about how his Instagram page isn't independently notable. The YouTube page is just an extension of his fame on social media (and in the media and in the world, really). Nothing independent, or "new", about it other than the fact that it's blowing up since it's his channel. Paul Vaurie (talk) 22:17, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: Per Win8x and Paul Vaurie. No scope for growth to be an independent article. It only matters unless it has something to do with subscriber count. It should fit as a simple paragraph in the bio article itself. Ken Tony ^{Shall we discuss?} 20:07, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: The article about the yt channel covers info that is too new to have a full article on it. EarthDude (talk) 15:57, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: Cristiano Ronaldo has earned notability outside of YouTube. Channels like Eminem Music don't have their own article, so I think a major section on the YouTube channel should be included on Cristiano Ronaldo's article instead. FloridaMan21 14:01, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Politics away from Football and Personalities, chasing clout for personal gain. CR7 Political point of views have not been disclosed and therefore should not be associated with any national or international political figure. Pescaterian (talk) 16:52, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why exclude goals in cup competitions?

Cristiano Ronaldo has famously just reached 901 goals, yet the stats on this page are missing 100s of them because we don't mention his goals in the Champions League, FA Cup, Copa Del Rey, etc. Why is that? Can we at least have a separate section to list them? Dantilley (talk) 21:12, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
