[edit] Swedish speedway 1950s

Absolutely no context, unreferenced, other problems evident. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 10:21, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep This article, which was only created today, seems to have been nominated for deletion at AfD literally two minutes after its creation [[1]]. This hardly seems fair to me. It is now referenced and has scope to grow. As it is, it gives speedway league results for the decade in Sweden. Speedway was a major sport in the period, more so than today, and such results seem entirely noteworthy to me. Nick mallory 13:28, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

• It should be created in a subspace and moved here then, not created as an incomplete version Corpx 17:04, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

• There is nowhere in policy or practice that mandates the extensive creation of an article prior to it being added to the article space. That may be your preference, but given that any registered editor can make a page, it's probably not going to enjoy wide-spread community support. I'd say it'd lead to more problems than not anyway. It'd certainly be discouraging to newbies. I certainly don't expect articles to spring full-fledged onto Wikipedia like Athena from the head of Zeus. FrozenPurpleCube 19:08, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep possibly Move I'm sorry, but you need to show some good sense here. This was a nomination of an article less than a single edit old. Heck, within three minutes of its creation. I don't know about you, but I think I would have recommended at least trying a clean-up template, if not talking to the editor involved. This isn't blatant vandalism, this isn't anything but a stub article. If you were worried about the content, you could have tried going to User talk:BoboBult and asking. But instead, you jumped to AFD. That doesn't show much forethought on your part. I suggest you withdraw this nomination and show some attempt at not biting other editors. As subjects go, it looks like it could be the results of a professional sport by a national team. I think that meets the inclusion criteria. FrozenPurpleCube 19:08, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
  • I see some context here now. I fairly nominated this, and CSD would not have been improperly unfair. The argument saying '2 minutes is not long enough' can be applied to any very CSD-able article, but I understand this concern. I hereby withdraw the nomination, but hope dearly for some clean up.
