Chronological list of men's major golf champions

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Argument for deletion mostly based on WP:TRIVIA. It seems very trivial to know in chronological order when so-and-so won their first major. Also, is this page really necessary when pages like these (Men's major golf championships and Golfers with most wins in men's major championships) already exist? Each individual major has a list of champions as well. How many pages need to be devoted to lists of major champions? What's next? An alphabetical list? --GoHuskies9904 (talk) 18:14, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Discriminate, organised, non-trivial. I see no reason to delete. TerriersFan (talk) 18:39, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Lists have different guidelines than articles. A chronological list, to me, is even more valid and more important and more useful for research and historic purposes.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:57, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:TRIV says to avoid long lists of facts. Well, the golf major championship page already gives who won the majors every year. I agree that this chronological list isn't necessary. Paul, it is not nearly as important as the other two lists. No sports almanac or sports encyclopedia I know of has a list like that. If they were more important they would. -- Burp The Baby   (Talk)  21:05, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - One man's trivia is another man's meat. I am pretty confident that this well organized and styled list is manna to golf nuts. Until someone definitively says what LONG means in a long list of facts, I think this one should stay.--Mike Cline (talk) 14:28, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
