Should we remove 1977 TdF stage win from list of achievements?

The ASO in their official stats of the Tour de France do not include the 1977 win at St-Etienne in their listings. This page which does list it, as a 35th Tour stage win, therefore creates a confusion from all other pages which show Eddy as having 34 TdF stage wins.

See page 25 of this pdf [1] which lists St Etienne as "1977 : sans vainqueur" Andrewdpcotton (talk) 09:25, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and just removed it. --EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 20:36, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unreliable sources[edit]

Hi sports fans. I'm about to tag this article as having unreliable sources.

At time of writing, this article references three highly dubious sources:

  1. The site the-sports.org is run by Info Média Conseil Inc., whoever they are. On their contacts page, they thank Wikipedia, presumably for content.
  2. The site cyclingarchives.com does not say who publishes their site, but they invite contributions from the public.
  3. The site memoire-du-cyclisme.eu is in French, and appears to run by the Memory-of-cycling team, whoever they are.

The final source, Tour de France: An alternative view of the ultimate road race, is published by The Independent, which Wikipedia considers to be generally reliable. But the source is used only to support a 12-word claim: "Merckx won the equivalent of a race a week for six years."

The opening paragraph of Wikipedia:Reliable sources states that "If no reliable sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." I contend that, if no reliable sources can be found, then this article should be deleted. -- Doktor Züm (talk) 09:36, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
