The instances where she is referred to as "Yu-ting" in the second and third paragraphs should be changed to "Lin" per Chinese naming convention. Estreyeria (talk) 20:00, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Done A point well made. Thanks. --AntiDionysius (talk) 20:06, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
IBA issues
edit"The IBA claimed to have used laboratories accredited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for testing, but WADA denied involvement in gender verification, stating it deals solely with anti-doping matters."
There's no source cited that supports the second part of this sentence. Nor does it refute the first part of the sentence. 2A00:23EE:1448:86B5:AD04:38D3:8EEE:F167 (talk) 14:39, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- "The IBA said the tests were sent to two different laboratories that are accredited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada).
- However, Wada has told BBC Sport it does not oversee gender tests and its work only relates to anti-doping matters."
- - the cited source. Bluethricecreamman (talk) 02:22, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- IBA claims should not be presented in an uncritical manner. They were suspended from the Olympics in 2019 and ultimately banned in 2023 for lack of governance and transparency. Their boss has been described as having deep ties to Russian organised crime and heroin smuggling. TarnishedPathtalk 05:41, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
Information manipulation alert
editThis edit by the user Jontel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jontel): https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lin_Yu-ting&diff=prev&oldid=1239672702 mentions he/she defeated Szeremeta during the Paris Olympics, but it is factually wrong, and was stated prior to the result of the match, which indicates a manipulation attemt. The match is still ongoin as this note is being written (2024-08-10 14:59 CDT). 98.222.227.59 (talk) 19:59, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
- Al-Jazeera published the results at 19:49 UTC, 1 minute prior to this edit. You were probably watching with a delay. Flounder fillet (talk) 20:18, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Article mentions "She" - but there is no source given for the sex, WIKIPEDIA REQUIRES SOURCES FOR STATEMENTS!
In this source the IBA has found a male DNA in a test: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/olympics/article-13723225/Gender-boxer-Lin-Yu-ting.html
It is prohibited by western culture form men to beat women - learn that! 188.146.140.15 (talk) 23:37, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. The Daily Mail is not to be used on Wikipedia. – macaddct1984 (talk | contribs) 13:24, 11 August 2024 (UTC)- For the record - there is, in fact, a source given for this in the article: https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/5912516 Flounder fillet (talk) 17:38, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Not to mention the numerous sources in the article using she/her pronouns – macaddct1984 (talk | contribs) 17:51, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Remove Caster Semenya from Lin Yu-ting#See_also.
Semenya is actually intersex, while Lin is simply the subject of dirty gossip on the matter--while both were controversial, it was not for the same reason. 184.19.110.85 (talk) 03:36, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
Split discussion
editHi all, There is a proposal to split of material from Imane Khelif, Lin Yu-ting and Concerns and controversies at the 2024 Summer Olympics#Women's boxing_controversy and consolidate it in a new article at 2024 Olympic Boxing Controversy. Interested editors are invited to participate at Talk:Imane Khelif#Proposal to create and split off new article "2024 Olympic Boxing Controversy". TarnishedPathtalk 06:08, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
Disqualified under medal record
editThis has not been discussed at length in this article, but my view is that the medal record in the infobox should not include the “Disqualified” at the 2023 New Delhi. This is not a medal, and even if the event was notable, it should simply be described in the main article. Being disqualified (controversial or not) is not a medal. Butterdiplomat (talk) 13:14, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Details not entirely correct on 2026 reinstatement
editIt should be mentioned that Lin actually failed the initial sex screening by World_Boxing, which detected a SRY gene (which can only be present with a Y chromosome, i.e. a male genetic setup). Taiwan's boxing association then appealed the decision, presenting additional medical records, as required for an appeal. The WB medical committee reviewed the documentation, and decided that Lin is eligible for the female category. This was reported by the BBC in February 2026: https://www.bbc.com/sport/boxing/articles/c20qjn3jp8lo
Publicly vailable reports don't say what type of DSD Lin has. Zipor haNefesch (talk) 08:55, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
- What do you want to change the text from and to? I think it's probably incomplete rather than incorrect, but it's certainly incomplete. If you can flesh it out then great, with the usual caveats about BLPs. Clicriffhard (talk) 19:47, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
