[edit] Chile v New Zealand (2006)

Friendlies are very seldom notable enough to have their own articles, and this is no exception. See also short talk on WikiProject Football and proposed criteria for notability on the same project. Delete and if needed merge content with a created 2005-06 in New Zealand football, like many other countries have. – Elisson • Talk 15:49, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related page for the same reason:

• New Zealand v Malaysia (2006)

– Elisson • Talk 15:51, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with Chile and New Zealand football articles. Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 15:50, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - insignificant friendly match. Merging all into a single article (would it not be 2006 in New Zealand football given it is a Southern Hemisphere country?) as a second preference. Qwghlm 18:39, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable friendly matches, there's no reason even to put that information somewhere else. --Angelo 18:54, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no merge Completely and utterly non-notable. There's no conceiveable reason to merge anything into anything else. -- Kicking222 19:02, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete The football afficionados don't list it among their goals for that project. Also, Wikipedia is not a collection of sports scores. --Chaser (T) 21:24, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Even though it is me that has written those goals, they do not tell what a perfect Wikipedia should include, they are just a few things that really need to be in Wikipedia. Articles on notable matches are a bonus, while non-notable friendlies are not. :) – Elisson • Talk 21:41, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Good point. My apologies Elisson, I didn't notice you'd linked the project at top. Chaser (T) 22:25, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Like everybody else is saying, it does not make sense to have articles for irrelevant matches. Since there is no 2005-06 in New Zealand football article to merge with, both entries should be deleted in my opinion. Bruno18 01:49, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
• These articles should be deleted, though in principle the information can stay in a per-year page. Conscious 04:34, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable. Mariano(t/c) 07:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
