[edit] Football League Championship results August 2006

Football League Championship results August 2006 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This article was prodded a few days ago. I oppose the prod, but I would like to get some consensus or precedent on this, as there are already many such articles on wikipedia, and many more are created as we speak. That is why I am moving this to AfD. The concern raised in the prod was "Has not been continued throughout the season. Wikipedia is not a collection of information and is not a football results database". I believe that the article adds to the encyclopedic content of wikipedia. It provides an overview of results, goal scorers, winning streaks, losing streaks, etcetera. As such, it provides documented data, which others can use for whatever they need it for. This discussion should probably also cover Football League Championship results September 2006. Aecis ^{Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984.} 00:48, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I have added Football League Championship results September 2006 to this AFD. Aecis ^{Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984.} 01:00, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Football-related deletions and in the list of England-related deletions. Aecis ^{Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984.} 00:51, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
• This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. Daemonic Kangaroo 05:32, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/FA Premier League fixtures and results - the group of articles that were kept over there and this article follow the same format, hence precedent says that this one should go the same way.

• Keep per above, SportsAddicted | discuss 11:30, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or possibly TransWiki to a sports statistics wiki - Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and editors here should not have to maintain potentially thousands of pages of football results which are easily locatable elsewhere on the web.

  • Anything on wikipedia can be found elsewhere. Otherwise it would be original research. Aecis ^{Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984.} 23:28, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Correction, WP articles are written from verifiable resources on the web and off. WP is not a mirror of whole-cloth information as your comment suggests. David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 17:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
      • Please read my comment again. I said that anything on wikipedia can be found elsewhere. I didn't say that anything that can be found elsewhere is on wikipedia, or that it should be. Aecis ^{Find the Fish} 23:14, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Qwghlm. HornetMike 15:42, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - All this information can readily be found on BBC.co.uk/football and elsewhere with considerably less effort. I think the fact that these pages fizzle out in mid-September speaks for itself. Daemonic Kangaroo 16:38, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per reasoning at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fußball-Bundesliga - September 2006. Crossing precedents, Daniel Bryant! Punkmorten 17:22, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - This one goes too far down the line of being an indiscriminate collection of information. Also agree with points of Daemonic Kangaroo (good name) and Qwghlm. --Robdurbar 17:45, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not ESPN. I am concerned in general about the very clear and noticable recentism that has started to spread amongst the football related articles (while at the same time much more important events from 10, 20, 50 and 100 years back are completely ignored), and I will try to start some sort of discussion on the matter on the football WikiProject during the holidays. – Elisson • T • C • 15:25, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, there are other sites to provide this level of detail. Conscious 12:21, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per norm. Niall123 17:22, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 14:37, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per the deletion discussion Punkmortem brings up and the reasoning at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NHL Results October 2006. This much recent detail is not necessary for Wikipedia. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 19:03, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or trans-wiki. CRGreathouse (t | c) 10:26, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete All, per WP:NOT Kingjamie 13:18, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all ... "with extreme prejudice," as CAPT Willard was told. WP is not a collection of information, and I certainly don't come to WP to find sports results, timely information on schedules, blah blah blah. This is also arguably promotion as it is serving as a marketing information resource for professional(?) sports. David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 17:19, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

• Merge to single article for season results. Neier 12:02, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as merging would create a too-large article. Neier 14:27, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
