[edit] Merge suggestion

The result was do not merge - Gopherguy 16:50, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Either this should be merged or the main article should split off into this section if there is enough detail. Incidentally, I would say that the title should be "Minnesota Golden Gophers under Jim Wacker," since "football" is redundant. --Edwin Herdman 00:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Not a terrible idea on merging it. There was some discussion on how to format history pages for football teams, and this (at least when I put these together) seemed to be the agreed format. I'm not sure if there would be enough detail for each season to have it's own page. However, I think there is still some relevancy to it. -Colslax 18:24, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I don't think it should be merged - pages like that are designed for older seasons. Instead of someone creating individual pages for the 5 seasons that Wacker was coach, they can all be grouped onto this one page. This was discussed on the WikiProject College football board a while ago - Archive-Mar2007 - check the last section on the page, "Notability of per-year team entries". That discussion also recommends keeping "football" in the name of the page.Gopherguy 22:54, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Also check out Naming Conventions under "Articles about teams" where it lays out the accepted naming format for these pages.Gopherguy 15:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
If there's no further discussion on this topic, I'll remove the merger suggestion.Gopherguy 22:57, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
