 * – ( View AfD View log )

Nothing in this article which can not be added to the main Australian Open page, 2012 Australian Open, which already goes into detal about the Wildcards. Dotdotdashdash (talk) 08:38, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

More information has been added, which previously would have not been added to the 2012 Australian Open page. Popsiclesare (talk) 11:32, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Given that you've added the draws at a push you could still merge it in the main article or rename the current article, and get rid of the other wildcard stuff and just have the article focus on the wildcard play offs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dotdotdashdash (talk • contribs) 21:39, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Selective Merge. Just not enough to justify a standalone article. --Legis (talk - contribs) 07:14, 8 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. For every grand slam there are articles made for the respective draws. E.g. 2011 Australian Open – Men's Singles for an example of last years. This is according to the guidelines of WP:TENNIS. This information about wildcard entries and playoffs can be added at the bottom of these articles already. When the final draw is made we then add the new information on top of this wildcard info. So better split and merge this into their respective main draw articles.

 * Merge - We already merge the qualifying draws into the main draws. Why not the wildcards too? Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:26, 8 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Suggestion. Maybe the draws included in the article could in some way be merged into a new section on the Qualifying draw page? Technically it is still a form of qualifying, even if it's not through the main qualifying draw (Kyleofark (talk) 20:52, 9 December 2011 (UTC))


 * Openings of years past as well as other events have their "main draw" and "wildcard entries" in their main articles.   D r e a m Focus  12:44, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
