{{nutshell|The recurring events listed on this page are considered suitable for inclusion on the [[Main Page]] in the [[Template:In the news|In the news section]] every time they occur. Other recurring events may also be included if they satisfy the usual [[Wikipedia:In the news#Criteria|ITN criteria]].}}
{{ITNbox}}

This guideline is a supplement to the [[Wikipedia:In the news#Criteria|criteria]] for the [[Template:In the news|In the news]] (ITN) section of the [[Main Page]]. It standardizes which recurring events are included in ITN.

Scheduled sporting events and other recurring items are different from other ITN candidates, because editors can foresee them and prepare for their potential inclusion. ITN editors have therefore produced this list of pre-approved events, which has been developed through discussion and [[WP:CON|consensus]]. The list assists editors in ensuring reasonably balanced coverage (for example of different sports) over time. It also avoids the need to debate an event's importance every time it occurs, providing consistency between years.

Items listed on this page are considered to have already satisfied the "importance" criterion for inclusion on ITN, every time they occur. This does not guarantee the item will be posted. The relevant article still needs to be appropriately updated, be of sufficient quality, and be nominated on the [[Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates|candidates page]] (ITN/C) before being posted. As with all ITN nominations, the posting (or not) of a recurring item can be weighed against whether [[WP:IAR|it best serves the encyclopedia]].

Any changes to this list, such as adding or removing an item, should be discussed at [[WT:ITN]] to gain consensus first. Items that are not on this list can still be nominated at ITN/C and discussed individually, where they will be assessed against the usual ITN criteria.

*Any [[Great comet]]<ref group=note>There is no objective measure of exactly what constitutes a great comet, but the ITN consensus is for 'clearly visible by the  naked eye, even to those who weren't specifically looking for it'. See two sets of discussions at [[Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates/June 2010]]. Note that [[Comet Holmes]] was considered significant enough for ITN when it brightened to [[apparent magnitude|mag]] +2.8, despite never receiving the 'Great' appellation.</ref>

== Sports ==
{{Shortcut|WP:ITNSPORTS}}
Entries which refer to events where men's and women's events are concurrent (unless otherwise specified) are generally posted as a combined blurb, as long as both articles are of sufficient quality. In terms of timing, events are generally posted as soon as a winner is determined. Generally, the specific event article for that year/time period is the target article in the blurb (for example, [[2016 Tour de France]] rather than the broader [[Tour de France]]); winning individuals or teams may be targets, but their articles must meet the same ITN quality requirements as the event.

*The Olympics, as the world's leading multi-day multi-sport event, is accepted as an appropriate "ongoing" entry.<ref>Before there was an "ongoing" section, the Olympics was posted as a "sticky" item at the bottom of the ITN box: see [[Wikipedia:Main_Page_history/2012 July 28]], for example.

*The FIFA World Cup is accepted as an appropriate "ongoing" entry.<ref>[[Wikipedia talk:In the news/Archive 95#Add ITN/R: FIFA World Cup (ongoing)|Add ITN/R: FIFA World Cup (ongoing)]].</ref>
*Nominations for various multi-day single sport events for the "ongoing" section of ITN have failed, with a handful of exceptions.<ref>See the following nominations (all unsuccessful): [[Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates/May_2015#.5BClosed.5D_Ongoing:_French_Open|French Open 2015]],[[Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates/July_2015#.5BWithdrawn.5D_Ongoing:_2015_Tour_de_France|Tour de France 2015]], [[Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates/September_2015#.5BClosed.5D_Ongoing:_Rugby_World_Cup|Rugby World Cup 2015]], [[Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates/November_2016#.5BClosed.5D_.5BOngoing.5D_World_Chess_Championship_2016|World Chess Championship 2016]], [[Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates/June_2016#.5BClosed.5D_Ongoing:_Euro_2016|Euro 2016 (football)]], [[Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates#.5BClosed.5D_Tour_de_France|Tour de France 2017]] – there may be more.</ref>
