Carlton Football Club salary cap breach

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I struggle to see the relevence of this page on WP. Currently, a lot of this information is already published (and referenced) in Carlton Football Club. I am proposing deletion of this page. There is no need for a seperate article with such a broad title. Say for example there is a future salary cap breach. Are you going to create an article titled "Carlton Football Club Salary Cap Breach 2"? I don't see this as sustainable. Pdunky (talk) 06:48, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Definitely notable – one of the biggest ever scandals in Australian football. The Carlton Football Club page only has around two paragraphs on the issue. IgnorantArmies?! 08:27, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps a Merge with Carlton Football Club would be sufficient? There is no reason for a separate article on such a specific issue when it is already covered in the main article. Pdunky (talk) 12:19, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose: The breadth and depth to which this could be expanded is significant, and for it to be covered in an abridged version in the Carlton Football Club's history would be insufficient, I feel. Arguably the AFL's Black Sox Scandal. Thefourdotelipsis (talk) 13:32, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. Agree with what IA and fourdot have said. To truly do this incident justice, it would bloat the Carlton Football Club article. It would be better to summarise in the CFC article and have a hatnote to this article, which can go into the detail it deserves and the coverage warrants. Anyway, this clearly meets WP:GNG – have a look at this google news search and keep in mind that many Australian newspaper articles from that time are not online. For examples of significant coverage, see:, , , , , , , , , etc. Jenks24 (talk) 18:01, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Sounds small to someone who hasn't heard too much about it. But a surprisingly big, and well-documented, issue in Australia. TheGrappler (talk) 02:04, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
