2008 Rafael Nadal tennis season

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unnecessary content fork. Few other Rafael Nadal tennis season articles exist, nor do they need to - all this information fits in his main article. The entire article is built around one source, and may also contain some WP:OR (namely, the names of the "seasons") Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 14:14, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Also am nominating the following:


 * for pretty much the same reason. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 08:24, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It would be better if it exists. 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Rafael Nadal tennis seasons do exist, alongside seasons for several other tennis players. It will be edited promptly and expanded. In addition, there is a lot of extra available content in this article, which is not found in his main article. Additional sources have been added as well. Also, the WP:OR that has been mentioned is not original research. Those are common names given to the seasons in a tennis year, and those terms are used widely in the tennis media.

 * In which case, consider those duly added to this AfD. There is absolutely no need for these content forks. Nothing in this article, or any of the others, would be out of place in the main article. All of those are a mess as well. I have no idea why members of the tennis project insist on making these content forks all the time... Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 08:24, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * These are a lot more detailed and provide an additional level of information for those that wish to read more. The main articles have nothing in terms of detail, while these articles do. The main articles cannot have this volume of information in it. Those articles can be edited, and in my opinion, they are necessary. I know several people who like reading about particular tennis seasons in detail (take for example the legendary 2011 Djokovic tennis season). And it is not just Rafael Nadal, there are Roger Federer seasons from 2003 through 2013 as well. Another thing, the other articles aren't really messes, except the 2011 article. I'll edit it.

 * Your unusual formatting is making this AfD look confusing: please, sort it out. There is absolutely no need for an in-depth season for any tennis player: a few paragraphs per year would fit perfectly in the main article, and would not make the main article too long. WP:ITSUSEFUL is not a reason for an article. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 11:23, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep: I don't see why a detailed season article is not required. And it is useful because it encompasses a wider range of information which provides for those who want to read more. Ingdalevri (talk) 13:08, 29 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - per previous discussions that formed the consensus for "wiki project tennis", any player that has won a Major may have yearly articles for any time period, where they were professional, before or after they won their first Major. Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:19, 31 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep all - as per Fyunck's and WP:Tennis reasoning. Spiderone  13:35, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
