Athletics at the 2005 Mediterranean Games – Results


Unnecessary stats directories. The main articles (Athletics at the 1991 Mediterranean Games, Athletics at the 1993 Mediterranean Games, Athletics at the 1997 Mediterranean Games, Athletics at the 2005 Mediterranean Games, Athletics at the 2009 Mediterranean Games, Athletics at the 2013 Mediterranean Games, etc etc) already cover the list of medalists. More than that, the detailed results should be left to dedicated databases. They don't belong at Wikipedia. It may be noted that all these articles were created by the same editor. 103.6.159.82 (talk) 14:40, 30 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep The results of athletic competitions, including the final standings, are appropriate content for Wikipedia; per the five pillars, Wikipedia "combines features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers." Results such as these (full standings, not just medalists) are the sort of content I'd expect to see in a sports almanac. (It might be more appropriate to split the results onto pages for each event rather than placing them all on the same page, but that's not a matter for AfD.)

 * Keep It's a notable enough international competition that these articles are appropriate. Smartyllama (talk) 01:36, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
