[edit] Celtic F.C. Songs

Celtic F.C. Songs (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unencyclopedic, tagged for improvement for a long time, unreferenced. I believe the topic is inherently unencyclopedic and this article certainly seems to be unimprovably so. John (talk) 21:00, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as per above. Compare and contrast: Arsenal F.C. Songs, Manchester United F.C. Songs, Liverpool F.C. Songs, Celtic F.C. Songs. Unencyclopedic. smb (talk) 21:25, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to Celtic F.C. It would probably make a lovely addition there. Though I suspect all those redlinks are telling me I'm going against precedent. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 23:05, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep or Merge to Celtic F.C., an important part of their football matches/culture is the team songs. -RiverHockey (talk) 17:25, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - the problem is that the article fails WP:V which is policy. We shouldn't be keeping or merging material that cannot be verified. TerriersFan (talk) 01:39, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as nothing but original research. Football fans have a purpose, and that is to support their chosen teams. That's more or less all that is notable about a fan or group of fans. Whether they can sing and what they then choose to sing is not notable. On the other hand, for example, what a professional singer or group chooses to sing is notable, for obvious reasons - that is their purpose in life, and the thing which makes them notable. So what I am implying is that the article is written as if Celtic F.C. fans are a professional singing group - which they aren't. The originator of the article has chosen to write about an off-centre viewpoint connected to a notable subject, but his or her "take" on things certainly isn't notable in itself.
