2009 NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs

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

An unnecessary content fork of 2009 NBA Playoffs. All useful content can be merged with the main article. The original merger discussion is here where the creator suggested afd. — Chris!  c t 01:10, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. NBA Conference Playoffs are as notable as the main Playoffs and Finals. Several content not found at the main playoffs article, and probably won't make it to the NBA Playoffs such as game highs, referees, tip-off time, attendance and the like are there, thus making it not "unnecessary". Plus, if the NJIT Highlanders with a Google result of 17,800 has an article, so should this article with 66,100. Yeah, this is basically WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS but this is rather a good comparison. – Howard  the   Duck  06:31, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: 2008 NBA Playoffs currently stands at 54 kilobytes, and all of the "unnecessary" information isn't even there. If this doesn't warrant a WP:SPLIT, I dunno what will. – Howard  the   Duck  06:39, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and merge with 2009 NBA Western Conference Playoffs. Mandermagic (talk) 23:57, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * To the above, wouldn't merging with the Western Conference article be the same as merging with the main Playoff article? Digirami (talk) 05:38, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes.— Chris!  c t 05:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merging this to any 2009 NBA Playoffs-related article will violate WP:SIZE regulations in the long run. – Howard  the   Duck  14:02, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Even after merging I don't think the article will be extremely long. Also WP:SIZE is just a guideline. Even the banner on top said "Use common sense in applying it; it will have occasional exceptions."— Chris!  c t 23:45, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, byt 54kb? Isn't that a tad too much? And my "merge" that means adding the players that had game highs, attendance, quarter scoring and the referees. – Howard  the   Duck  12:00, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
