All-America Football Conference Scores
Not sure it's a speedy. :( r3m0t talk 20:13, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, Wikipedia is not a collection of indiscriminate information. FreplySpang (talk) 20:23, 5 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, per FreplySpang. The AAFC was notable but a collection of its game scores isn't encyclopedic.  I'm impressed that the article claims to contain scores from all four years of the AAFC's operation, then lists results from two years' games.  No need to merge into main AAFC article.

 * Delete per previous comments. &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-01-05 22:16Z 
 * Delete for reasons stated above. -- Mwalcoff 01:55, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. (ESkog)(Talk) 07:45, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep--The Monday Night Football page has a link to the scores of all 36 years worth of games. Since no web site currently has scores of AAFC games, this provides Wikipedia with the opportunity to be a unique source.  I was told by the creator of this page that the other two years will be added today--with game summaries of each contest next on the agenda. &mdash;the preceding unsigned comment is by 66.213.16.180 (talk &bull; contribs)
 * Comment: "this provides Wikipedia with the opportunity to be a unique source" - this is exactly what Wikipedia is not. Wikipedia only includes verifiable information from outside sources and never original research. Stifle 13:53, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: What original research? It's been available from hard copy football ENCYCLOPEDIA'S for years, so the publishers of these books obviously believe it belongs in one. You want to go ahead and verify it, go ahead, but please don't tell me that it doesn't belong.  What shouldn't be on Wikipedia is the number of god-awful writeups of countless subjects.  Worry about fixing those instead of dictating what doesn't belong. User:Histmaven 12:22, January 7, 2006.
 * It would be helpful if you actually cited your source. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:23, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep All four years are now listed. Since the NFL refuses to recognize what went on during these four years of play, it is imperative that a web surfer be able to learn as much about the AAFC as possible.  In conjunction with the regular AAFC page, I plan on including not only game summaries, but pages specific to each year, in order to include highlights and pertinent statistics.  Deleting this page will only continue the myopia/ignorance about the AAFC. User:Histmaven 12:35, January 6, 2006.
 * Instead of creating a short article for every single AAFC game, I would prefer that you merge them into only a handful of pages just like National League Division One in 2005, 2005 English cricket season (15-30 June) and some of the other cricket articles.

 * Comment: Wikipedia is not a free wiki host. If you would like a web surfer to be able to learn as much about the AAFC as possible, post it on your own website. Stifle 13:53, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate colletion of information, or a sports magazine. Stifle 13:53, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Indiscriminate would mean that a hodgepodge of material exists--each year's worth of scores is separated. If Wikipedia really doesn't want to include sports, then they should delete any of the thousands of references to it. User:Histmaven 12:25, January 7, 2006.
 * Comment: Please refer to Centralized discussion/Sports results and its talk page. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 18:44, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. It now has all four years and a reference, and seems no different than Monday Night Football: Year-by-Year History (1970-89). Verifiable, referenced, not an indiscriminate collection of information, not original research, AAFC itself is notable, so no reason left for deletion. Turnstep 00:29, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment In an attempt at compromise, perhaps one page for each year such as "1946 AAFC Season" or "San Francisco 49ers 1946 Season", etc., with an analysis and week-by-week summaries would help quell the complaints. That way, instead of 56 different pages, you would have a limited number of pages.  I do think, regardless, that the score page should stay--with no further updates.  Feel free to comment.

 * Delete. A summary might be suitable, but doesn't really seem necessary. Also delete two newly-created articles: 9/6/46: CLEVELAND BROWNS 44, Miami Seahawks 0 and 9/8/46: Brooklyn Dodgers 27, BUFFALO BISONS 14. --Wrathchild (talk) 21:19, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
