[edit] Too much?

Last season's FA Cup article starts from round one. Do we need an extra six rounds before it, concerning non-notable amateur clubs? I think just having the top 124 clubs is enough.  Slumgum T. C.   21:11, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

The preliminary and qualifying rounds are genuine parts of the FA Cup - it's the not recording of them in the past that has made the research of the history of the Cup take so long. Virtually of the clubs pass the notability "bar" of being at least at Level 10, it's just the 11 South Western League clubs that fall one level below that. I will try to keep the page up-to-date. - fchd 21:57, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Okay. I'm not very familiar with the official "bar of notability" (just my own opinion). If you (or anyone else) is willing to make sure the early results are present and correct, I don't think there's a problem (apart from perhaps the article size). It's gonna get big.  Slumgum T. C.   22:28, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I am more than happy to work towards making this year's FA CUP article the most accurate and detailed on Wiki ! The above poster is right - the FA Cup starts with the lower leagues, and if Wiki can become the first point of contact for info on every round, then let us try it.
On the size issue, maybe "FA Cup 2006-07 Qualifying Rounds" can be split from here when the First Road Proper begins? doktorb wordsdeeds 06:07, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
That's a good threshold. I recommend waiting until the round 1 draw before exporting the qualifying rounds to a second article.  Slumgum T. C.   22:37, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Byes/Exemption

Something is wrong with the byes/exemption column in the first chart, I think its one row 'off'. 70.24.95.4 22:12, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
