Colombia at the 1998 FIFA World Cup
AfDs for this article: Articles for deletion/Brazil at the 2006 FIFA World Cup
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable, Colombia went out in the groups. Information is limited and can be found at the pages on the 1998 World Cup's fixtures and squads. Very few teams have articles on their performance at a World Cup, especially those who went out in a group. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Indiasummer95 (talk • contribs) 13:31, 3 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Note: I completed this AFD on behalf of the nominator, and entered it into the log. On the merits, I have no opinion. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 18:36, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - unreferenced, article contains nothing of worth, and nothing that isn't already present elsewhere in Wikipedia. The "keep" aguments from the last AfD from 2008 are incredibly weak. GiantSnowman 19:41, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - we don't need articles in the format "Fooland at the 19XX FIFA World Cup". I can understand the need for articles like China at the 2004 Summer Olympics, because that combines all sports in a multi-sport event, which the FIFA World Cup is not.  I wouldn't expect to see China in athletics at the 2004 Summer Olympics, which is what the article under discussion is equivalent to...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:07, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - It could probably be expanded pretty heavily, with information such as squad selection, tournament preparation, etc. but it's had a chance to add that in the last four years and hasn't done so. – PeeJay 15:15, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - If this article is getting deleted, we should probably get rid of the others (Brazil at the 1974 FIFA World Cup, Brazil at the 1978 FIFA World Cup, Brazil at the 1982 FIFA World Cup, Brazil at the 1986 FIFA World Cup, Brazil at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, Brazil at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Brazil at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Colombia at the 1994 FIFA World Cup, Croatia at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, Croatia at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Iran at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, Iran at the 2006 FIFA World Cup and Trinidad and Tobago at the 2006 FIFA World Cup). – PeeJay 15:28, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed - but we should wait for community consensus to emerge. GiantSnowman 17:53, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Suits me. Good to have a list of those article here though so we know what needs deleting next. – PeeJay 00:28, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Good thinking. GiantSnowman 08:11, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - unnecessary spinoff, there is no info in this article that isn't already included 1998 FIFA World Cup. Mentoz86 (talk) 16:34, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
