Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/6-2

This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was move to Talk:Volleyball/pagehistory to retain attribution, and content pasted to talk to let the volleyball editors figure out where to merge it in, because I don't know where to squeeze this in. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 18:01, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 6-2

I think this belongs in the Volleyball article rather than in an article of its own. 6-2 could mean anything. Deb 17:52, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Merge. Merge to Volleyball. Wikibofh 18:14, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge As above. Sonic Mew 18:38, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or speedy delete via criterion #1: no content here. Further, a merge should have a redirect, and redirecting this means claiming that 6-2 means just one thing. This is just a sentence that could go somewhere in the Volleyball article. Geogre 18:43, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, no merge nor redirect, in strong agreement with Geogre. Not significant in a volleyball context (yes, I play the sport). Barno 20:06, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or merge somewhere, useful information. Could be renamed to 6-2 (volleyball formation) or whatever. Geogre has a very interesting interpretation of "no meaningful content", worth recording for posterity. Kappa 21:25, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment: I'm an optimist and believe that posterity will be smart enough to know which sport they're interested in, and I'm a pessimist who believes that no one will go to 6-2 (volleyball formation) when they want to know about the 6-2 formation, that they'll just go to Volleyball, so the redirect would be misleading, and the merge is unnecessary.

• Move to 6-2 (volleyball) and delete the redirect. RickK 21:42, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Move to 6-2 (volleyball) and delete redirect, per Rick. I thought this was about St. Louis beating Boston the other day, but then I realized that would be 9-2. -- BD2412 ^talk 01:56, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)
• Move to Volleyball and Delete the redirect. Vegaswikian 03:24, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete almost a speedy candidate due to lack of content. JamesBurns 06:06, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to 4 (number), or possibly to Backgammon. Merge as above, no redirect necessary imho. Radiant_>|< 09:28, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to Volleyball and Delete the redirect. No need for its own article. carmeld1 16:11, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
