Since cities like London have hosted all kinds of things, maybe it would be better to put this on Sport in London, Sports in Vancouver, etc. No? Kevlar67 09:08, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I understand what you mean, but the template is intended to be in the city's main page. Now some city's pages have regulated that all templates should be posted on another page, now if that's the case, I understand, if not, the template should remain on the city's page, because the Commonwealth games is a major international event, second only to the Summer Olympic Games.

While I'm a big fan of the CG, I think we'd have a hard time proving they are bigger than the IAAF World Championships in Athletics, the Winter Olympics, or the Asian Games. And it really depends on the definition, bigger in term of number of athletes, numbers of spectators, numbers of TV viewers, number of countries? But, if there is consensus to keep the template on the main city pages for now, that's fine with me. Kevlar67 00:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
