2006 FIFA World Cup: Man of the Match awards

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article simply duplicates info that can be found in the 2006 FIFA World Cup group stage, knockout stage and Final articles. There is no statistical analysis here, and if any were added, it would probably count as original research. – PeeJay 10:00, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - as the nominator says, this information is already on the relevant pages and so there's no need to replicate this information here. Plus the 'Man of the Match' link at the bottom of the page just redirects to FIFA's homepage. Bettia   (rawr CRUSH!)  14:20, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. Unnecessary content fork. Nsk92 (talk) 14:55, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Useful and encyclopaedic. Though the information could be extracted from the individual pages they would not provide the overview provided here. TerriersFan (talk) 15:56, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Why is such an overview necessary? The Man of the Match award is not an important award in the grand scheme of things until you get to the final. No one ever remembers the individual Man of the Match award winners, and people are more likely to want to know who the Man of the Match was for a single match, rather than look at an overview. – PeeJay 16:03, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I certainly found it useful to see who had won a MoM more than once; which I could not have gleaned from the individual pages without a huge amount of work. It was also helpful to see who had won it in the England games at a glance. I see no need to delete encyclopaedic information for what seems a purist policy approach. I can see that a standalone page is doubtfully justified so why not suggest a merge? TerriersFan (talk) 22:28, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Surely it would have been easier to check who won MoM awards in England matches by checking the appropriate group article (Group B, I think)? – PeeJay 08:56, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
