[edit] NBA's 60th Anniversary All-Time Team

Contested PROD produces yet another prolix nom from Joe. The extant version of this article enumerates prospective candidates for a team that, as a simple Googling reveals, does not exist. A previous version to which one might revert exists but simply conflates the text of the lead of NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team with a subsection thereof apropos of a "next ten" players announced by TNT (not under the auspices of the NBA), erroneously, in any case, terming the 60th anniversary team a league-sponsored team akin to the 50th anniversary team). In essence, the article is either (a) altogether redundant to an already-existing article (since the article copies exactly the text of the 50th anniversary article, a merge is unnecessary, and since the text came exclusively from the latter, GFDL concerns do not entail), or, even if expanded, an unnecessary content fork about a topic insufficiently notable as to merit its own article or (b) about a team that plainly does not exist, detailing candidates for a similar venture long since concluded (and undertaken only by television broadcasters); in each case, deletion is the proper disposition. A redirect to the 50th anniversary article is, per WP:R, unneeded and useless (toward which, see [1], [2], [3], [4] , Googlings of permutations of the title returning no relevant hits).

• Delete. Unnecessary fork of NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team, as it only adds 10 players to that list, and TNT did the "Next 10" solely because of that list. EWS23 (Leave me a message!) 07:06, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
