Team crest

What exactly are the items located below the Eiffel Tower on the team crest? I thought one was a fleur-de-lis, but upon closer inspection I'm not sure. The other looks like a baby carriage, but that seems hard to believe. 69.137.220.179 06:08, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

It's a cradle. It represents Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Saint-Germain is where Louis XIV was born, thus "The cradle of Louis XIV". BobbyAFC 18:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, thanks! Having now visited the town's page, I see that the two are adapted from the town's seal. 69.137.220.179 20:19, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Do we need so many former famous players? Some of them aren't famous, even for my standards as a PSG fan. Also, the addition of countless flags simply adds to the confusion

I see that someone has been messing with the page and now David Hasslehoff (the singer/Baywatch star) is on the squad. I'm not sure of wiki standards with regard to posting this, but I thought I should say something 17:08, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

The English on this page has many grammatical errors.

Reviewer: Sandman888 (talk) ^{Latest FAC} 13:05, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

My second GA review. I will place this on hold, as I feel this could be a GA with some work. A nicely-written article. All in all, I'll say that the lede is too long, history section is a bit short and there are some issues to iron out.

I've failed the article due to lack of response from otherwise active nominator. Sandman888 (talk) ^{Latest PR} 06:02, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

General

• Colours. This is not often used in other football articles, I would recommend creating a spin-off article and remove all of the images, save perhaps one or two. Also needs references.
• References.
  • This is very problematic. Many of the references are poorly formatted and needs date, accessdate, author if possible and publisher. I recommend you use the {cite web} template so you remember all the important information.
  • None of the cited books are being referenced in the article. This is a cause for some concern. Also some of the books seem to have self-translated titles, which is not acceptable. Include original title and add the "|language=French" parameter when using {cite book}.

Stadiums

• Needs references, entire sections are unreffed.

Current squad

• The "starting line-up" image caption is unreferenced, and I'll be surprised if you can find a source stating the first XI. Something seems to have gone wrong with the image.

Reserves and academy

• Unreferenced sections

Managers

• I would remove the list of managers and keep the wikilink to "List of managers".

Presidents

• Again, would remove the list, or at least format it properly. Per MosFlag, the French flag should be removed.

Le classique

• Two first sections are unreferenced.

Rivalries

• Please, consider to add new emerging rivalry with Chelsea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:718:1E03:AED2:619A:246E:D9FB:69F5 (talk) 09:55, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Honours

• See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Football/Clubs for the manual of style. Formatting should be quite different.

Images.

• Often well-captioned, however there are some problems:
  • File:Coupe des Coupes 1996.jpg is a derivative, copyright belongs to trophy-manufacturer.
  • "Crest" section contains a gallery of non-free images, which is discouraged. One or two images should be enough to illustrate the evolution of the crest.

Lead.

• Far too long I must say, see WP:LEAD for recommendation on the lead. Remember, lead = summary of article. I would recommend writing a new summary and stuff in the lead.

Why is this in US English?

surely as football is an English sport and uses English terminology, and PSG play in the UEFA zone where England is and not America, this should be in english. Alan McBrazil Burger (talk) 19:56, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

England does not own the sport of football or Paris St. Germain, nor is British English the primary language of Paris. Neither American nor British English has a strong claim to this article, meaning that the original style shold have been preserved and any reversions of such are acts of pettiness. Please refer to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style page and read the National Varieties of English section to learn when reversions are appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.72.200.10 (talk) 11:22, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Show sources that says Thiago Motta is vice captain. I watch almost every game of PSG, and every time Silva has been out of the team,Ibrahimovic has been wearing the captain-thing (dunno what's it's called, the thing around the arm) even though Motta has been on the pitch with him. But no, clearly you aren't vice captain even if you're wearing the captain-thing in the absence of the first captain, not that kind of character, I should have known. Sorry, Motta is vc even if it's not him but another player who is captain when Silva is out.

Rivalries section - PSG = upper class?

Hello, I think this sentence needs to be amended:

"It involves the two largest cities in France:[8] the upper class in Paris against the working class in Marseille, capital against province and north against south.[45]"

Three of the four statements are true - Paris and Marseille are the largest cities in France, Paris v. Marseille represents the capital v. province and definitely North against South, which is a prominent cultural divide in France (Paris and Marseille are almost two separate countries in a lot of ways). But in no way is this a divide between the working class and the upper class - this is factually wrong. Both teams' supports are notoriously working class and have been historically. Sure, to Marseille fans PSG represents the arrogance and pretentiousness of the 'capital' city, of the North, but this isn't about social status at all. Besides, nothing in the referenced articles suggest that PSG is a representation of the 'upper class', so I think this bit should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hffmnn (talk • contribs) 09:13, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Article Introduction Structure

Hello, Wikipedia contributors.

I recommend that structural modifications in the introduction of the Paris Saint-Germain article, do not misconceive the current structure. The article is structured similarly to other similar articles and conforms to the standards and rules of Wikipedia.

@Rathfelder:, it appears the hierarchy goes Category:Football clubs in France -> Category:Football clubs in France by city -> Category:Football clubs in Paris -> Category:Paris Saint-Germain F.C.. So what's displayed on the article page is "Categories: Paris Saint-Germain F.C..." which may appear overly-narrow or redundant to a reader.

"Category:Unrelegated football clubs"

As sourced in the history section, PSG were relegated for administrative reasons in 1972 when Paris FC split out of them again. Ergo, PSG were relegated and are not unrelegated. This is like saying that Juventus were never relegated as their only demotions were for matchfixing, or Rangers for financial reasons. It's false and being removed.

Players under contract

Hello @Paul Vaurie: and @DroopyDoggy:. Saw a slight edit conflict between you two, so I thought we should reach a consensus on it. Also, I would like to make one or two other points.

1 - Think it is better to have 'Other players under contract' like the current version, rather than having it overcrowded with all the youth players. Never seen it in any other club's pages either. Would be better to have them in under-19 or under-17 section in academy article like we had last season.

2 - In both 'Other players under contract' and 'Academy players with first team appearances', contract duration of players are given in brackets. Have only seen that when they go out on loan. Think it would be better to remove those brackets.

3 - Both Pembele and Nagera are born in 2002 and are not qualified to play in U19 league from this season onwards. They are currently under 'Academy players with first team appearances'. Maybe we should move only those 2 players to 'Other players under contract' ?

4 - There are 6 other 2002-born players (Franchi, Alloh, Balde, Mutombo, Ahamada, Bitumazala) who currently have pro contract. There are also two 2001-born (Fressange, Oufella) with pro contract. None of these 8 players are qualified to play in U19 league next season. They haven't made first team appearances either. Imo, we should add them under 'Other players under contract' like we did with Saidani, Makutungu, Kapo etc last season.

Let me know your opinions. Thanks! Kokoeist (talk) 00:03, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

@Kokoeist: Seems reasonable. Just one thing - who said Franchi, Mutombo, and Bitumazala are not eligible for the U19 team? They are all still 18 years old. When is the deadline for the age? Is it 31 December? Paul Vaurie (talk) 07:58, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

@Paul Vaurie: Yes, it is 31st December. It happened in Makutungu's case last season. He was 18 when the 2020-21 season started. His DOB is 21st December 2001. And he was ineligible to play in U19 league matches last season. So, only players born on 1/1/2003 or after it will be eligible to play in U19 national league this season. I am not sure if there is a minimum age required to play in that league. Kokoeist (talk) 10:19, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Addition of Gianluigi Donnarumma

The addition of Donnarumma as a PSG player could be controversial but let me explain.

1 - One of the most reliable transfer sources Fabrizio Romano confirmed the transfer that will be announced after the Euros.

2 - He has already completed his medical in Florence.

3 - The next source is his Italian and PSG teammate Marco Verratti, who said that he is excited to be teammates with him.

I think I provided enough evidence to not delete Donnarumma as a player right now. Noogometni urejevalec (talk) 19:16, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Lead fails to clarify ownership

PSG is not just owned by some random businessperson through a private company (as the lead currently states). PSG is owned by the authoritarian ruler of Qatar through a state-run company. An editor removed language that clarified the ownership with the edit summary "no politics here" which is puzzling.[1] Snooganssnoogans (talk) 19:32, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Again, it's clearly pertinent that the team is owned by the authoritarian ruler of Qatar's state-run company. The current version of the lead suggests it's run by a random businessperson through a private company. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 01:05, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

PSG History

In the introduction of the article, i ask you to not remove anything because its more completed and there were some big facts that were omitted from that part, like the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain and also the split between Paris FC and PSG. Then at the history of the club, i recommend that we should change the part of the QSI regime, but not to much, due to the other part that you reverted being very incomplete and missing various key points that were part of the regime, like this years summer transfer window. I suggested a final edition by using the information provided by both of the users, but one of the users reverted it, in order to end this futile dispute. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 7Road (talk • contribs) 23:26, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Adding reference / bibliography

There is a number of books and articles talking about PSG, among which the recently published Ranc, David (2012). Foreign players and football supporters: The Old Firm, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain. Manchester: Manchester University Press. ISBN 978-0-7190-8612-0. Retrieved 2012-03-19. {{cite book}}: Check |authorlink= value (help); External link in |authorlink= (help)

This discusses many of the issues with this article (logo, supporters, players). The book also references Paul Dietschy's article and Thierry Berthou reference book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.17.232.254 (talk) 12:14, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Error in lede

They’re not the sixth highest revenue earner, but the seventh. According to the wikilinked article. I haven’t made the edit as I can’t see where the replacement revenue figure comes from. Boscaswell talk 23:24, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Messi

Why Messi is not visible in the player list, yet there is a Messi entry when "edit page" is opened? Is it a bug? 46.10.148.234 (talk) 21:24, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Squad

So the pre-season have ended and the new season have started. We are yet to know how the 'first team' would 'look like' from the official website. There is no confirmation about 'elite squad' like last season either. In this scenario, what do you all think 'other players under contract' should look like? This is my personal opinion with the players currently listed in the page.

Gharbi - U19 career is over and looks like to be part of first team. Also featured in league matchday squad. Should stay in current squad section.

Kurzawa - loan return, featured in matchday squad. Stay in current squad section.

Draxler, Dagba, Michut, Nagera, Wijnaldum - back from loan, yet to be named in matchday squad in official match. Dont think any of them in coach's plans. Should be in other players under contract section

Nhaga, E.Mbappe, Lemina - they were part of preseason tour. Unless they are going to be part of elite squad, they should be only named in the reserves & youth academy page. Not in main page. Yes, they are under pro contract but also eligible to play for U19 team, where they'll mainly play

Mouquet, Randriamany, Fernandez, Bodiang, Muntu Wa Mungu - U19 career is over and wont be part of first team dynamics. Proper 'other players under contracts' players.

Kokoeist (talk) 22:06, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

@Kokoeist: I agree with all of what you stated up here. For their inclusion in the most recent squad, Zaïre-Emery, Gharbi, and Kurzawa should be in the current squad section for me, along with Navas. About Draxler, although he was on the Japan tour and was assigned a number, he was not on the team last year and didn't make the recent squad, and should be in the "other players" section. Mouquet is now a senior player just like Gharbi, and was also included in the Japan tour, but he has never appeared in a squad, so I would keep him in the "other players" section. Then we have the cases of Nhaga, Housni, Lemina, and E. Mbappé. All of them participated in the Japan tour, and received squad numbers. However, apparently the first three were sent back to train with the U19s upon their return in France, while E. Mbappé stayed in first-team training. Housni is the only one to have made an official first-team appearance. I think that sending them back to the U19s based on the media report creates updating problems, and it raises a question about what Housni's appearances last season mean now. My personal opinion is that until the "elite group" and/or the first-team squad drops, we should just keep Nhaga, Housni, E. Mbappé, and Lemina in the "other players under contract" section. It would complicate our life if we didn't, because then we have to follow media reports and make rules and exceptions that don't make sense. Since they're already here, let's just keep them here for now until we get PSG's official squad. Lastly, Randriamamy, Bodiang, Dagba, Fernandez-Veliz, Muntu Wa Mungu, Michut, Wijnaldum, and Nagera are all first-team players not included in the Japan tour or the recent squad this season, and should thus be in the other players section.
Essentially, my conclusion is that right now, nothing needs to be changed. We should wait for the official squad to drop to make according changes. Paul Vaurie (talk) 22:41, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Short Verison: While You Guys Are Right. PSG Should Be Scared for the Future.

Long Version: For The Most Part. You Guys Are Correct. But PSG Should be Scared About the Future. Messi Left for the U.S.A. Neymar was Sold To Saudi Arabia. They are Soon Going to Lose Mbappe in July 2024. Not to Mention that they had to Cut Players and Management for Said Players and More. Over 11 Players were put on transfer List! If we Can Learn Anything From This. It's that you Have to Start Small. And Grow from that. Teams like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan. And Barcelona Start like That. Recently We Saw Sevilla Win The Euorpa League and Put up A Good Fight Against Manchester City In the Super Cup. You Need to Start Small and Grow The Foundation from there or else You'll Crumble. The Problem is that PSG Never Got to Start Like That Because At the Start They Overspent on Players and Almost Went Bankrupt. With The QSI Buying Them Being Their One Saving Grace. And After. They Kept Spending On Big Name Players. And it All Came Crashing Down After 2021. Orange Anomaly. (talk) 00:33, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Dangling modifier/Non-parallel comparison

Considered the club's golden era, the Parisians won nine trophies and reached five consecutive European semi-finals during the. . .

This sentence starts out describing an era, but immediately following the comma, where the specified era should be, there is instead "the Parisians." This is a classic dangling modifier grammatical error. The sentence should instead read:

In what was considered the club's golden era, the Parisians won. . . 2600:1700:5B2C:A090:8C2C:5BAD:F790:E967 (talk) 16:11, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

General comments

• Nice article on such a big club! Per the authorship statistics, you are not the main author of this article. Has DroopyDoggy given their consent for the nomination?
• I would suggest standardising how the club is referred to in prose. The nicknames "The Parisians" and "the Red and Blues" need to be replaced where they occur in the body. As "Paris" and "Paris SG" are not used in the body, I would suggest removing them from the first sentence as far-less-common variants.
• The subsections "Out on loan" and "Other players under contract" need sources.
• As I do not see any WP:QUICKFAIL-criteria fulfilled, I will start with the source spotcheck tomorrow. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:31, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Spotcheck

This is a large article with 212 citations, so I will be spotchecking a random 10% selection. Citation numbers refer to this version.

• 44 N The words "crowning glory" and "legend" are not supported by the source.
• 106 link should be marked as dead; otherwise good
• 182 N the source does not support "OM was bought by Bernard Tapie"
• 45 N neither this source or 46 support "the youngest club in history to win a European title at 26 years of existence"
• 2 N should be marked as dead; sentence closely paraphrases the source, and should be paraphrased.
• 117 N Again there is WP:CLOP: "The connection between Paris Saint-Germain and the city's fashion houses is a longstanding one." is a direct copy of the source
• 61 N should be marked as dead, alongside citation 60. Most of the preceding sentences are not supported by these citations, such as: "The club secured a maiden domestic treble (Ligue 1, Coupe de la Ligue and Trophée des Champions) in the 2013–14 season", "unprecedented", and "winning the latter with a record-breaking 96 points, becoming the only first French men's team to achieve that feat".
• 18 N This source is, judging from its homepage, a student assignment, and is thus unreliable.
• 207 good
• 110 good
• 165 N this appears to be a fan website and thus not a reliable source
• 146 good, but 2023 doesn't need to be mentioned once, let alone twice, given the year is clear from the previous sentence
• 81 N "PSG won the Coupe de France" is not supported by the citation
• 175 good
• 205 good
• 26 N I don't think www.paris-canalhistorique.com is a reliable source—it seems more like a blog to me.
• 31 N Same for www.psg70.free.fr/
• 88 N "a tie amplified by the uncertainty surrounding Kylian Mbappé's future" is editorializing; the source does not say such a thing
• 25 N parisunited.fr appears to be a fan-published source, so not reliable
• 79 good

There are thus issues with 13 out of 20 citations spotchecked—a huge proportion, and a look at the "References" section reveals significant reliance on fan-published websites. This is not acceptable at GA, and the article will likely need a large rewrite to achieve the required quality of reliability and source-text integrity. I will put this nomination on hold until 3 April to see if the nominator, who has waited a long time for a review, feels that this judgement is unfair. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:04, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

@AirshipJungleman29: The general analysis of the article and of the spotchecked sources seem to be accurate and fair to me. I can definetely fix everything you listed above in the next week, but fixing 65% of 212 citations is going to take more time than that. Paul Vaurie (talk) 22:58, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Sadly, per the GA instructions, and considering much of the current article (prose and citations) will either be rewritten or replaced, I will have to fail this nomination then. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:43, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

OK. Would you be willing to re-open it (via direct request to you specifically) if all citation issues are dealt with in the near-ish future? Paul Vaurie (talk) 23:45, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

I can do that. If you rewrite and renominate, let me know on my talk page, and I'll try to review ASAP. Is that alright? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:50, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

That works! Just FYI, I might get there this summer if I get to it at all. I nominated this article a while ago while I had more time, and these days I'm shorter on time. So, we'll see in a bit. Paul Vaurie (talk) 04:08, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
