1967 American Football League draft

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article should be removed and replaced with a redirect to 1967 NFL draft since that article more completely documents the Common draft that was instituted between the two leagues. &mdash; DeeJayK (talk) 16:45, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
 *  Tentative delete  - At first glance, this looks like a no-brainer. There appears to be be virtually no content in this article, and what there is, is already covered in greater depth by the 1967 NFL Draft article.  Am I missing something here?  Also, given that this was the first year of the so-called "Common Draft," should we also not be contemplating a re-name of the 1967 NFL Draft article to recognize this?  If memory serves, the Pro Football Hall of Fame refers to the "common draft" years as something other than simply the "196x NFL Draft" . . . .  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:00, 23 October 2015 (UTC) I have struck my "delete" vote above, and changed it to "redirect" per DeeJayK's proposed plan of reorganization outlined below.

 * I wouldn't be opposed to to renaming the 1967 NFL draft article to something like 1967 NFL/AFL draft (which actually already exists as a redirect to the 1967 NFL draft article). Obviously if we make that change for 1967 NFL draft we'd want to make similar changes to the 1968 and 1969 "Common draft" articles at the same time. However, I figured it would be simpler to tackle one change at a time. If it's preferable to make these changes all at once, that's fine with me, too. &mdash; DeeJayK (talk) 20:35, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Looks like this is going forward, so it's not a bad idea to discuss naming while you've got 6 or 7 football editors focused on it. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 21:32, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, so my ideal end state for this short series of articles on the Common draft:
 * 1967 NFL draft renamed 1967 NFL/AFL draft; 1967 NFL draft redirected to this new name
 * 1968 NFL draft renamed 1968 NFL/AFL draft; 1968 NFL draft redirected to this new name
 * 1969 NFL draft renamed 1969 NFL/AFL draft; 1969 NFL draft redirected to this new name
 * 1967 American Football League draft be blanked and redirected to (newly renamed) 1967 NFL/AFL draft
 * 1968 American Football League draft be blanked and redirected to (newly renamed) 1968 NFL/AFL draft
 * Thanks. &mdash; DeeJayK (talk) 18:53, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I think that sounds like a good plan. I suggest you add the 1968 and 1969 AFL Draft articles to this AfD (don't forget to put AfD notices on the articles and notify the article creators), so we can deal with all similarly situated articles at once.  Then let's see if we can stir up some more participation in this discussion by the WP:NFL and WP:CFB regulars.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:59, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Nominated 1968 American Football League draft for deletion. 1969 American Football League Draft only exists as a redirect to 1969 NFL draft, so that can be cleaned up easily if/when the changes we're discussing are made. &mdash; DeeJayK (talk) 20:08, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect to 1967 NFL draft. This article is redundant to the common draft article.  Renames of the target can either be done boldly or via a formal WP:RM outside of this AfD.—Bagumba (talk) 00:52, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
