Talk:Manchester United treble

I have no problem with this page being merged into the Manchester United page, but (and maybe it's just me) I am of the opinion that the main United page rushes through the Treble - mentioning it almost as an afterthought. Since the history of Manchester United is quite protracted and filled with many interesting and/or contentious factors, it may be preferable to maintain this page as an individual piece. Items, such as the Malcolm Glazer takeover and the Munich Disaster warrant (quite rightly) pages of their own and, since the Treble is (at the moment) unique in English football, perhaps deserves this same credit. I do not doubt that supporters of other football clubs would prefer the opportunity to put information on their own unique successes on pages of their own (such as the Liverpool "Treble" and/or 2005 European Cup run, Celtic being the only Scottish (and 1st British) club to win the European Cup, etc.)DAAdshead 16:50, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree that it warrants a page in its own right, but it definietly needs a lot of tidying up, as aside from grammatical and spelling mistakes it's written in the style of a tabloid news report, which does the subject matter no favours at all. I can't, however, offer to do it myself as my own bias as an Arsenal fan frankly makes it hard enough to read it let alone involve myself in writing about it. C i d 12:12, 30 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I don't mind merging this into Manchester United 1986-1999, but I think might be a bit long to have as a section of that article. I get the feeling that eventually it would have more detail added and be split back out into an article on the 1998-99 season, so another option would be to rename it Manchester United 1998-99 and have it as a subarticle of MU1986-99. I'm not enormously fussed either way, just think that MU1986-99 could look a little odd with so much detail on one season, and I don't think this should be trimmed down to fit into it.  I'll see what everyone else thinks.


 * Oh, and welcome to the project DAAdshead. It looks like you've got the hang of talk pages now, so if there's anything I can help you with, leave me a message.  [[Image:Yemen flag large.png|24px]] CTOAGN (talk) 16:39, 30 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Another idea: we could rename MU1986-99 to MU1986-98, rename this to Manchester United 1998-99 and merge in the stuff on the treble season from MU1986-99 to here. I think that might be best, as this article could grow quite quickly. [[Image:Yemen flag large.png|24px]] CTOAGN (talk) 22:19, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Someone just wrote another long article on the treble season in Manchester United F.C., but there was too much detail for that article so I moved it to a new article at Manchester United 1998-99. I think it would be best to merge this article into that one and tidy them up a bit after. I'll leave it a few days to see if anyone objects or comes up with a better idea, then do the merge.

 * CTOAGN; Having read the newly created article detailed above I would suggest that my (poor by comparison) article is probably mostly defunct now, so maybe it should be listed as one of the Pages for Deletion? Just a suggestion. DAAdshead 09:25, 17 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Can I also suggest that the other item be cleaned up. Whilst it has many merits (including being more statistically correct than this article - sorry!), it is poor gramatically. I have fixed a number of broken links in that article, but have made little impact on the grammatical area of the same. Someone with more time on their hands than me might be able to bring the article up to the Wikipedia standard (yes, I know this article doesn't meet that standard either!!!)DAAdshead 09:43, 17 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't really like just deleting content, I'd rather see if there's anything we can merge in from your article instead of just deleting it. Once that's done I'll have a go at tidying it.  [[Image:Yemen flag large.png|24px]] CTOAGN (talk) 22:01, 18 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Once it's merged, Manchester United treble can be made to redirect to Manchester United 1998-1999 [[Image:Yemen flag large.png|24px]] CTOAGN (talk) 22:03, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Merge
I've merged this article into Manchester United 1998-1999 and set up a redirect. This article needs to be kept for its edit history. CTOAGN (talk) 04:16, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
