ACL injuries in Australian rules football

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This is another essay that doesn't seem to belong in Wikipedia. There is nothing specific about this type of injury in Australian football that makes it different than the same injury in any other sport. Oaktree b (talk) 00:57, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete only 1 source is specifically about AFL, the rest is generic info on ACL injuries in sport and WP:SYNTH to link it to AFL. Fails GNG. LibStar (talk) 01:00, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete I can't see anything here that isn't basically already covered in Anterior cruciate ligament injury. I'm all for niche content being included in the project, but this feels kind of... needlessly specific. Sleddog116 (talk) 02:41, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete this is an article about ACL injuries, with some WP:SYNTH to try and link it to the sport (and at most 1-2 of the offline sources that might be usable, but cannot tell as offline sources). I don't see a large amount of coverage linking the two (unlike for example women's association football and high levels of ACL injuries, which do seem to get a lot of mainstream coverage like ), and so this isn't a topic that needs to exist on Wikipedia. And especially not this article, which is really just an essay about ACLs. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:10, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Sleddog. I've had a read through the article and it looks like an essay to me. There's nothing linking ACL injuries to Austrailian Rules football that does not link it to any other sport. QwertyForest (talk) 11:57, 28 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Comment: User that created the article in 2015 has never edited anything since it was finished; based on the username, I suspect it was a student of about 9-10 yrs old at the time, but who knows. Oaktree b (talk) 19:48, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Their username included 86, which by calculation could mean they were around 19/20 at that time. Which is consistent with this being a university style essay. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:18, 30 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete. With reference to the outcome of and my comment in Articles_for_deletion/Overtraining_of_AFL_athletes, this was one of several essay-type articles appearing around the same time by editors with no other edit history; long suspected that these appeared from a school/university project.
