[edit] Sheffield United F.C. chants

Sheffield United F.C. chants (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Indiscriminate information: none of these are notable to anyone other than Sheffield United supporters. Some are also quite offensive, while others are very similar to those used by other teams' supporters, with lyrics suitably changed. RFBailey 09:32, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

• This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. ChrisTheDude 09:56, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I don't think any of these chants are notable. There are many notable football chants/songs, some of which even deserve their own articles, but not, it would seem, any of these. --Dweller 09:59, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Highly unencyclopedic, nigh-on unsourcable, and verging on indiscriminate info as a list of "every song that fans of a specific team might conceivably sing at any given game" - I mean, for heaven's sake, how can anyone claim that "United! (clap clap clap) United! (clap clap clap) (repeat)" is a Sheffield United chant given that it's also sung by pretty much every other club in the country with "United" replaced by whatever variant of the team's name can be squashed into that section of the "song"?

• Delete indiscriminate, mostly unverifiable, and as ChrisTheDude says, the vast majority are generic songs with the lyrics slightly altered to mention Sheffield United. Qwghlm 10:08, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above arguments. Punkmorten 10:42, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete non notable and indiscriminate list. ♦Tangerines BFC ♦·Talk 13:02, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I assumed that this would be the case, I was testing the water. Can anyone suggest if any of the article is worth merging? In fact, maybe Speedy it for me. L.J.Skinner^{wot|I did} 14:14, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Maybe merge # 1.3, 1.6 and 1.16 (and possibly 1.4 and 1.7) in Sheffield United F.C., explaining the significance of, say Woodward, Currie, Colquhoun, Shoreham..? L.J.Skinner^{wot|I did} 14:18, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
