[edit] UAAP Football Champions

Not even a list, just a collection of school seals. Over and over and over again. Utter violation of WP:NOT. User:Zoe|(talk) 21:46, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep This is most certainly a list, although the prominence of the schools' seals does make it a bit distressing to the eye. Although relatively few schools compete for the college football/soccer championship of the Philippines, the national title of a country is clearly encyclopedic. Xoloz 00:17, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of data. If there were something here besides just a bunch of seals, then it could be kept, but there isn't anything. Write about each championship, write how they won, anything significant about it, as it is, this could be replaced with a Category. User:Zoe|(talk) 01:40, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
      • This is not an indiscriminate collection of data. It's a list of Philippine collegiate football champions. If its defect is that it lacks two sentences describing the existence of football in that country, that defect is simple to remedy. Notable "Champions' lists" are classic encyclopedic material in the coverage of sport -- arguing that they aren't seems a bit absurd to me. The argument to be made is about notability: a national collegiate title easily passes that hurdle also. Xoloz 02:30, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Needs some work (remove/reduce seals to increase readability, expand/explain UUAP nearer the top) but nothing unfixable. Including historical results about a national title are notable enough to me, which is basically along the same lines as the FA Cup Final article. MartinRe 15:04, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
    • If the content of that page were only what's at FA Cup Final#FA Cup Finals, then I would object to it, too, but there's text there, as well, which the article under discussion lacks. User:Zoe|(talk) 21:11, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
      • There has been text added since you put the afd notice. Needs improving/expanding, maybe, but it is there now. Regards, MartinRe 21:20, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
        • Well, there you go. I'll retract the AfD. User:Zoe|(talk) 01:34, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. This list is important to the UAAP series of articles. It is also notable. Howard the Duck | talk, 13:23, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
