Olympic events medal table?

Can someone please explain why this table is included in the article? This is the Track Cycling World Championships, not the Olympics. There is no such table in the articles for any of the previous years of this competition - including Olympic years. It seems to me that this table is contrived as a piece of pro-GB propaganda in the run up to London 2012. Australia finished top of the 2012 World's medal table. End of story. Unless there is a good reason for including the Olympic events medal table, please delete it or I will. Stanley Oliver (talk) 12:44, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thought the same thing when I saw it. I have removed the table. Besides, olympic events are clearly marked in the results table. Ravendrop 09:33, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I entered the table, simply because it seemed to be a fairly constant reference point by the media, as shown by the Daily Mail reference I included - i suppose as the final qualification event for the London 2012 games it is more relevant in this year than in the three previous ones. As for NPOV, I'm Irish, not British, so it's unlikely I'm bigging up the GB team - plus Mr Oliver sounds suspiciously australian! Still, I'm easy enough if people want it removed, so no biggie Mpjmcevoy (talk) 20:24, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For NPOV purposes, it would be useful to represent a world view, rather than one of the British media (which does have a bias towards the Olympic events). If it is used by reliable sources from around the world, then it would be wrong not to include it. SeveroTC 20:53, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
here's an australian source making the same explicit point - http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/london-games/anna-meares-geared-to-halt-britain/story-e6frgdg6-1226322326285 - does that merit it? Mpjmcevoy (talk) 19:18, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
