Albania at the 2016 European Athletics Championships

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Nations at the xxx pages are usually reserved for events with multiple sports or disciplines. This one focuses on just one sport. Also quoting Peter Rehse, from another similar AFD, "they are all a rehash of a single source. National results for events that are borderline notable themselves. Even there there is nothing demonstrating that [the country] performed anywhere near notable." Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:02, 9 January 2017 (UTC) Also nominating the following for the same reasons:

 * Speedy Keep - These should should be judged on their notability individually - Mass nominating all 230 articles is just plain disruptive!, Also I've collapsed them as they were taking up half of the AFD log!. – Davey 2010 Talk 01:13, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Preemptively relisting this because the Jan 9 AfD log hit the transclusion limit, which caused the contents of this AfD to not be shown in the log. T. Canens (talk) 14:36, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge (if there is a parent article). It is high time we started dealing with sport-spam - it gets enough exceptions as it is. Unless someone can show how this passes notability, well, byebye. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 12:14, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete – this is the kind of spam information that doesn't warrant its own article and will likely never be looked at in its current form. Laurdecl talk 09:24, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep As per previous discussion Articles for deletion/France at the 2014 European Athletics Championships. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 13:55, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. EAC is a high-profile, high-level competition, and I don't think these articles are overkill. They "make sense" by serving a useful purpose: extracting information about whatever e.g. Albania achieved in the 80-year or so history of the EAC is something a reader might legitimately be interested in, yet is extremely hard to do using just articles on individual editions. Merging into e.g. Albania at the European Athletics Championships is a remote possibility, but since EAC is a multi-event championship with 23 editions thus far, this is bound to create huge and unwieldy articles.

 * Keep It's a notable enough competition that these kinds of things are notable. Smartyllama (talk) 01:37, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Merge to "Nation at European Athletics Championships" articles. Individual country performances at a single edition are not of note in themselves. The history of the country at the competition as a whole certainly is as these performances form a key part of countries' athletics history. The competition spent much of its history at the second most important athletics meet after the Olympics and remains a key competition for a region which created and excels at the sport. A topic of much national importance and note. SFB 00:46, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep all per GregorB.  Lugnuts  Precious bodily fluids 18:34, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - easy to see that at least one of these articles meets WP:GNG - - I'm not willing to check the other 229. Nfitz (talk) 01:37, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
