Argentine squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup
There is already a 'master' page of 2006 FIFA World Cup (squads) and this page just feels like an unecessary expansion. It would lead to us having 32 individual pages that are just replecated on the squads page, a waste of time and space, it would seem to me --Robdurbar 08:25, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete yeah, add on to that that the info is already on the Argentina national football team.--Jersey Devil 08:33, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment. Not only this info is at Argentina national football team but also at 2006 FIFA World Cup (squads). If Robdurbar had taken a second to read what I wrote at Talk:2006 FIFA World Cup (squads) he might not have put this article for deletion. The hole idea is to have the information in one single article, and then include it in all the corresponding articles that need it. IT might have to deleted, yes, but let's see what hapens at the talk page I named. Mariano (t/c) 09:04, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Well I did read it and I'm not the only one who was confused by what you were trying to do. I imagine that the result of this will either be delete or move to template space (is that possible directly or would it reuqire an admin anyway?). Even if it is delted then there's no reason why it can't be recreated as a template. Apologies if I jumped the gun a bit but I had visions of 32 articles duplicating the content of the current squad page for no reason. --Robdurbar 10:03, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * No problem. Sorry for the reaction, it just seamed a bit precipitated. If a move to template space is decided, I'll be glad to delete to redirection left by the move. Mariano (t/c) 10:45, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Redirect to 2006_FIFA_World_Cup_%28squads%29. Redirects are cheap and useful. Reyk  YO!  09:48, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment You can only redirect to the top of a page, not to a sub-section (with a #). -- Kicking222 15:45, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Move to template space, unlikely to be a search term because of its length, and hence not useful as a redirect. If Marianocecowski had read further down the same talk page he links to, Oldelpaso says, "this sounds like an overlap between article space and template space, which I'd have reservations about. Can this not be solved by using templates?" Marianocecowski probably doesn't know about the template namespace yet, where information to be included in multiple articles can be put in. I have to applaud him for realising the usefulness of transclusions though. Kimchi.sg 09:57, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * To be fair, I wrote that more than half an hour after Mariano made the above comment. Oh, and move to template space. Oldelpaso 10:29, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. My opinion to this has been elaborated at Talk:2006 FIFA World Cup (squads).  --Pkchan 15:39, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per above. A redirect, due to the length of the phrase, is unnecessary. -- Kicking222 15:45, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Easy decsion, there is already a page with this same exact information.Minfo 03:09, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: That's not a valid reason: if this article/template was used the the page you name would not have the information at all, but would include it from this article/template. That's the hole point of the page I created. Mariano (t/c) 08:56, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
