:First of all, I never said it violated guidelines; I said it went against a consensus agreed upon by members. Second, according to WP:WAX, just because something is included on another page doesn't mean it should be included on this one. I could just as easily show you a plethora of articles that don't include second-, third- and fourth-place 'honours'. But anyway, that's beside the point; the real reason why we shouldn't include these is because you don't actually win anything for coming second, third or fourth. Sometimes the runners-up get a silver medal, and even more rarely does the third-placed team get a bronze medal, but on the whole, those achievements are nothing compared to actually winning something. After all, I've never seen a second-place trophy on display in the trophy room in the Manchester United F.C. museum. –
