Unbalanced article[edit]

This article is way too detailed when compared to other equivalent soccer/football association pages, and is an unbalanced article as it is a year by year blow of all significant events. It also has considerable coverage of the Reserve teams, which I believe there is general consensus not to include these in articles under WP:GNG (i.e. only show the Men's and Women's first teams).

I have moved the bulk of the history section into a new article - History of Sunshine Coast Football - which is about 80% of the total article - and this new article will need a significant amount of copy-edit. (as a side note, any takers?) There was additional copyedit to tidy-up references and to remove the Reserve grade tables. However, these changes have been reverted twice, on the basis of losing "... the results of the Reserve Grade/2nd Division/1st Division Reserves competition in his (sic) well-intentioned attempt to change", and "... failure to read previous comments is carelessly letting a large amount of research by someone else to be simply lost." The issue is not the amount of research and effort that the other IP editor has gone through, it is about notability and a very unbalanced article. It has been suggested keeping "... the Reserve Grade table in the history page?" but that wont solve WP:GNG. Posting this here for discussion, as well as at WikiProject Football/Australia task force, rather than ending up with the WP:3RR. Matilda Maniac (talk) 02:12, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@124.47.139.147: you hear that? The history is in the History of Sunshine Coast Football page. It's not lost. Matilda's edit simply pointed readers to that article if they wish to view the history. If there are other issues, then please list them. — BladeRikWr 10:01, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, it's because matildas maniac think they are the sole determinant of what's notable. This person has single handedly destroyed any impetus to keep this page up-to-date.

"considerable coverage of the Reserve teams" - incorrect, there was very little coverage of Reserve teams. all that the previous contributor wanted to do was to retain the Reserve Grade table.

"copyedit" - sic
