[edit] 2006 Winter Olympics points

Delete. Original research. Arbitrarily gives points to the first six places in an event. Pepsidrinka 04:26, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Royal Blue ^T/_C 04:29, 26 February 2006 (UTC) Merge per Mceder. Royal Blue ^T/_C 04:44, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Points are allocated in such as way, as to move the creators nation of origin, Norway from place 13 to place 6. The other nations are hardly affected. Bobby1011 04:36, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into 2006 Winter Olympics medal count if anyone provides evidence that this "points" concept is used in any fashion by the IOC. Otherwise speedy delete as patent nonsense. ---04:40, 26 February 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aaron (talk • contribs).
• Weak Delete, possible merge. Not truly original research as some Scandinavian newspapers have used this in the past, but it does not really make it wikipedia worthy. Mceder 04:42, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as original research. If it isn't it is not notable apart from the official tally. Capitalistroadster 04:53, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as OR. Caerwine Caerwhine 05:46, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as original research. I find no evidence that this "points system" is sanctioned by anyone or is considered official in any form. --Kinu ^t/_c 05:59, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as original research, and merge some content to 2006 Winter Olympics medal count. --Terence Ong 06:19, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Need I even justify the vote? Original research; not notable in any case. Redux 17:49, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete What is the point of using a point system? Plus, it is independant research and isn't even official. I don't see any point (pardon the pun) to keep it. --Omnieiunium 19:23, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Very Very Strong Delete. The mere existance of this article is a violation of the tag on the 2006 page and debate over Olympic conventions. It states that no major format changes were to be made on any pages until a format has been decided collectively. The page should be speedly deleted ASAP. --Jared ^[T]/_[+] 19:57, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Topic is nencyclopedic and pointless. --Andylkl ^{[ talk! | c ]} 17:47, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
