Talk:2009–10 UEFA Champions League qualifying phase and play-off round

Contest prod
Given that we have this, this, this, this, I don't see why this article should be deleted. Chanheigeorge (talk) 16:05, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Page splits
(Assuming there is no axing). Is there a rationale for splitting the ties by leg (rather than grouping them together like for the WCQuals etc). These are really two games that make up a single tie and it seems a bit like separating the results from the first and second halves of a match. I don't think any arguments around "chronological order" would fly either as I can't imagine that if a first leg match was postponed it would be placed chronologically in that case if this scheme is used. This would also remove a rather unneccessary level of detail in the page contents. Jlsa (talk) 23:10, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, and it also seems excessive to repeat the summary table once the detail section has been added. Jlsa (talk) 23:35, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Some similar pages separate into sections of first legs and second legs, and some other separate them according to ties. I do not have a particular preference myself. Chanheigeorge (talk) 02:03, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I've seen that and I must admit I think it is better grouped by tie (I can't see why you'd need a detailed summary of all first legs for any reason, but a summary of both legs of a tie is pretty much "the result"). Jlsa (talk) 03:29, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * There are certainly arguments for both sides. Personally, I prefer matches to be grouped into "First legs" and "Second legs". – PeeJay 09:28, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That strikes me as unfathomably ridiculous. In the group stage will you a) group Matchday 1 results together, then Matchday 2 results etc or b) Group A, Group B and Group C?  There is 0% relationship between the results in leg 1 (how does Mogren's first leg result relate to Tre Fioris) and 100% between the two legs of a tie. Jlsa (talk) 11:56, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I see no reason to break a custom on the basis of this one article. We should follow the customs as shown in previous season articles. – PeeJay 13:41, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Merge proposal
I propose that UEFA Champions League 2009–10 qualifying phase and UEFA Champions League 2009–10 play-off round be merged. Although UEFA regulations technically treat these stages as separate, neither stage constitutes the "competition proper", which only begins at the group stage. This is especially noted when tallying the top goalscorers in the competition, for which only goals scored from the group stage onwards are counted. Furthermore, I see no point in creating an individual article for a single round of the competition. The only round that should have its own article is the final, and that is because it is a notable match on its own merits. – PeeJay 13:29, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The author blanked and deleted the play-off round page; I have set up a redirect in its place. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 15:56, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with PeeJay. But this is not a good time to block editing on this page. Match results are not being updated properly.--Aidannn (talk) 07:06, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
