Brazil national football team competitive record

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This article (and possibly any similar other articles) appears to be a fancruft of limited encyclopedic value. Having a list of every single game the team played not only at the world cup, but also continental competition is over-the-top. Plus, considering is essentially a copy-paste of information available on FIFA websites, it might break some copyright rules. Summarizing this article into a few tables and putting them into the main article appears to be appropriate. Nergaal (talk) 23:57, 17 August 2010 (UTC) Nergaal (talk) 23:57, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Question Why is the talk page nominated for deletion? Shouldn't the article itself be nominated? JeremyMcClean (talk) 00:01, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I accidentally used twinkle on the talkpage. I tried to switch it to the article. Did I miss anything? Nergaal (talk) 00:38, 18 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment This page has some value, but maybe it can merged with the page of the national Brazil team? King Ruby (talk) 12:38, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep per this, which in my opinion render NOT#STATS moot. This article adds the same overview which users will find helpful. Being the one who moved it out of the main article I must object to any notion of merging it back. I simply don't see how that would be feasible with the detail IPs would instantly add in. Also, consensus is that footy statistics are okay, they have several pages called "List of Club Stats". Sandman888 (talk) Latest PR 17:31, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * by merge I mean summarize everything in 3 tables (i.e. one table for world cup performance, or better said how far it went in each cup, and same for the other). Nergaal (talk) 21:49, 18 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - I agree with King Ruby that the page has merit, but I think it's too big to merge with the main article. It looks a bit messy and could do with a tidy up i.e. too many tables and colours and icons - keep it simple guys! Other than that it's fine and notable in my eyes.

 * Notable is for sure, but I think there is absolutely no necessity for having this much level of detail on wikipedia. As it looks now, isn't there some copyright violation? Nergaal (talk) 21:49, 18 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - Where is the copyright infringement? WilliamF1two (talk) 21:00, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
