2018 FIFA World Cup Selection

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is just a copy of a former 2018 FIFA World Cup bid from October 22, 2007 that was disputed. This page is trying to keep the multitude of image and the table of stadia under the England section. It is supported by English soccer fans and does not comply with WP:CBALL or WP:OR.--Patrick Ѻ 02:24, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Inappropriate fork, also WP:CRYSTAL and WP:OR. --Jayron32| talk | contribs  03:14, 28 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete shameless. Fee Fi Foe Fum 08:30, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep More in line with the page before an editor claimed ownership of moved page. Needs a clean up though. Warrants keeping for sure. CorleoneSerpicoMontana 10:03, 28 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Inappropriate fork arising from an edit war on 2018 FIFA World Cup bid. Oldelpaso 15:53, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Needs work on it to bring it up to standard. Other version was the personal property of one user. Keep. Fronsdorf 16:54, 28 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Article wants a tidy, but I'd keep it. Alexsanderson83 21:19, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I fail to see any difference between this and 2018 FIFA World Cup bid unless I'm missing something. Certainly by the title's description anyway. Peanut4 21:53, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:CRYSTAL. Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 22:46, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Keep it. The original became a personal thing of one user. Went back through to a much older version which is largley unrecognisable from the 'fork'. Londo06 23:00, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as a duplicate article or a fork or whatever you want to call it. If another editor has claimed ownership of the first-created article, the best course of action is to deal with that editor and his/her behaviour by informing them that nobody owns articles and so forth. Creating a fork isn't the right way to go at all. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 00:49, 29 October 2007 (UTC)


 * KEEP - After reading through this article I can't understand why it has come up for deletion. Wikipedia is a strange place. LongWayDown 06:42, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Following the rationale for deletion, it's been put up for deletion because there's already a perfectly serviceable article on precisely the same topic and this one was created as part of a content dispute of some description, it seems. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 07:37, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete As someone who was involved in the discussion regarding the original article, i thought it had been dealt with. This is a duplication that is not warranted and is correctly pointed out, it stems from a content dispute. It is full of WP:OR and speculation that completely fails the spirit of WP:CRYSTAL.

 * Strong delete per WP:CFORK. If a user is desperate to have their own version then copy into userspace but it should not be in the main namespace. Qwghlm 20:51, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - The World Cup Selection for 2018 is running. - Dufo 09:50, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Absolutely that's why there's already an article on it. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 10:05, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - per Dufo above. The 2014 selection has been made, and there is no point deleting this; it has plenty of information and will be recreated anyway. I don't see why this would be listed for deletion (as a side point), it has quite some notability.   jj137  ( Talk ) 16:08, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * We have already had the debate about whether the article on 2018 FIFA World Cup bid should be kep and it was agreed that it should be. We already have an article on the 2018 FIFA World Cup bid. This article is a recreated version because of a content dispute on that article. Woodym555 16:40, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete - content fork. We already have 2018 FIFA World Cup bid and its daft to have two articles on the same subject. TerriersFan 20:43, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Noor Aalam 19:21, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
