Pretty much blank. Any information that the reader needs can be found on the main page (2011 Southeast Asian Games) Intoronto1125 Talk Contributions   04:26, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because of the above reasons:




 * Link to previous AFD, Articles for deletion/Archery at the 2011 Southeast Asian Games. GB fan 04:43, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Note that in the previous AFD (a large group nomination), the consensus was more-or-less to keep the popular sports, or the ones whose articles have content. Nevertheless, the closing admin kept them all and did not attempt to separate those with content from those without. This nomination includes only the articles lacking content, except for Vovinam, which has one small table. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 20:25, 5 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge all to the 2011 Southeast Asian Games article. Each has essentially no content and no references.  The content from all 18 articles put together would fit nicely into one small table in one section. North8000 (talk) 21:03, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * There are also two categories that need to be merged: Category:2011 Southeast Asian Games events and Category:Events at the 2011 Southeast Asian Games. Biscuittin (talk) 10:41, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Sports-related deletion discussions.  • Gene93k (talk) 17:56, 5 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete all except for Vovinam, which is the only one with any content at all. The rest of the articles have no content, and they have been empty for more than a year. Someone apparently created all these articles in advance of the games and then lost interest in updating them after the games. I do not see much point in redirecting. Anyone searching for any article with "2011 Southeast Asian Games" will find that article first in the search list. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 20:25, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge vovinam, redir the rest: Redirects are cheap, and some of these are likely to be real articles at some ponit. Snooker for one attracts stats-oriented editors who create articles like this in their sleep. See Category:Snooker competitions, including subcats like Category:Snooker at the Summer Paralympics‎ and Category:Cue sports at the World Games‎ arranged by year. The SEA Games are surely next. I'm actually bordering on shocked that Billiards and snooker at the 2011 Southeast Asian Games isn't already a well-developed article. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿ ¤ þ  Contrib.  11:53, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
