American Samoa's results and fixtures
AfDs for this article:
- American Samoa's results and fixtures (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
Unmaintained (and probably unmaintainable) list of fixtures of result. Per WP:NOT#STATS and previous and current consensus on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Papua New Guinea fixtures and results and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Denmark national football team season 2006 Angelo (talk) 12:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am also nominating for the same reason the following articles (all of them being created by the same user, by the way):
- Venezuela fixtures and results
- Barbados fixtures and results
- Bahamas fixtures and results
- Belize fixtures and results
- Bermuda fixtures and results
- Solomon Islands fixtures and results
- Fiji results and fixtures

- Merge all back to the articles about the individual national teams, and then delete and salt. The adage, "Wikipedia is not a sports page" applies here. Since friendly matches and qualifying ones don't happen every week, merge shouldn't be that difficult a task. Mandsford (talk) 18:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete A potentially endless fixture list is not what I would expect from an encyclopaedia. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 05:22, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as unencyclopedic, no merge as more statistics/trivia lists are not what the national team articles need. Punkmorten (talk) 06:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and merge to national team's main article. GiantSnowman (talk) 19:39, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep all. They might not have much in there. But they can be expanded and as per my vote on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Papua New Guinea fixtures and results keep. Peanut4 (talk) 01:21, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep all - encyclopaedic and makes sense to keep this detail out of the main articles. TerriersFan (talk) 02:08, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep all except Bahamas; delete Bahamas These should have been considered individually as the two in the nomination were. Since 1 of the two examples was kept and 1 deleted I don't see how the nominator claims a consensus. The Bahamas page should be deleted since it contains no dates and thus is not encyclopedic. The alternative of merging into the main articles has some merit but that is a matter for separate editorial action. BTW 'delete and merge' is not actually an option; if we merge then the history needs to be kept with a redirect as I understand it. Finally, I don't agree with the grounds of the nomination; these are not 'long and sprawling' lists and they do include context. BlueValour (talk) 20:04, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, what Mandsford said. Except I wouldn't go as far to salt, just change these into (possibly locked if recreation is a issue) redirects.--Him and a dog 19:55, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
