The result was snowball keep. For proposed mergers, see WP:MERGE, not AfD, however I note that consensus appears to be against that as well. Non-admin closure. Hersfold (t/a/c) 18:04, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FA Cup 2002-03

FA Cup 2002-03 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Two sentences regarding results of one year's FA Cup. Merge (if not already in main FA Cup article) and delete. - Jameson L. Tai talk ♦ contribs 12:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC) - Jameson L. Tai talk ♦ contribs 12:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep and expand. AfD isn't cleanup - no need to delete an admittedly stubby article on a notable sporting event (presumably part of compiling all Template:FA Cup Seasons). --Canley (talk) 12:21, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  • This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football related deletions. Canley (talk) 12:24, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand per Canley.  ARTYOM  12:37, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, this is a highly notable competition. If an article about it has this little content, it should be expanded. That's where the English football task force comes in. AecisBrievenbus 12:45, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - this is part of a series needed to give the full history of the FA Cup - the article needs expansion, but that is not grounds for deletion. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 12:53, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - per comments above, can be expanded. John Hayestalk 13:02, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - per Canley and Daemonic Kangaroo. robwingfield «T•C» 13:13, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - the article clearly needs expanding, not deleting! GiantSnowman (talk) 13:38, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - There is a difference between need for expansion and need for deletion. αѕєηιηє t/c 14:39, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Wikipedia development is built on going from stub to FA. Deletion is destructive since there could be a well-written and well-sourced article here. --Oldak Quill 16:29, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
