Coventry City 2007-2008 Championship Match Facts

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

Extremely too much detail considering this is an encyclopedia; also falls under WP:RECENTISM. D.M.N. (talk) 11:26, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages with the same reason as above:


 * Delete. Excessive recentist detail. Instead the games/results should be included at Coventry City F.C. season 2007-08 and sources added to link to team line ups. Peanut4 (talk) 11:41, 14 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. I feel this is warranting of a place in the wikipedia encyclopedia. To quote the entry on wikipedia as to what an encyclopedia is; 'An encyclopedia is a comprehensive written compendium that contains information on either all branches of knowledge or a particular branch of knowledge'.  Based upon this the information within this page is there to offer a deep informative base for about the season 07/08 for Coventry City. MrHorse1982 13:20, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or Smerge appropriately to Coventry City F.C. season 2007-08 if someone wants to create such an article. Having an article on a football teams season (such as Blackpool F.C. season 2007-08 in the same league) is common practice. However these articles are just excessive detail on the individual matches.

 * I agree with nominator - Delete them both, on various grounds, mostly because they are excessive detail and smack of recentism. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 13:23, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Why is it ok for tournemants like the Euro Championships and World Cups to have this exact info and more detail? Surely this infomation is valid and making it avaliable for people is a positive thing. Please see link for Euro 2008 Group A, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2008_Group_A.

 * You can't !vote twice. пﮟოьεԻ   5  7  14:09, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Euro 2008 is much more notable than Coventry's 2007-08 match facts. D.M.N. (talk) 15:12, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Info can be covered in less detail (i.e. without lineups for every match) in Coventry City F.C. season 2007-08. пﮟოьεԻ   5  7  14:09, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge into Coventry City F.C. season 2007-08. I'm not overly keen on season articles, but at least it would have some prose in it. It is my belief that Wikipedia should be about producing articles (and occasionally lists) that are researched from various sources. Simply copying stats from elsewhere for every match doesn't really add any value in my opinion and is overly detailed. The article for the league season (46 games) would also be too long surely? --Jameboy (talk) 18:27, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's incongruous to have match facts for a club's season when there isn't even a season article for that club. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 20:46, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football related deletions. ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:09, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge both articles to create a Coventry City F.C. season 2007-08 article. Obviously, the detail should be cut down on. – PeeJay 21:11, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete/Merge - Over detailed, merge to above suggested. Sunderland06  (talk) 21:51, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into Coventry City F.C. season 2007-08. GiantSnowman 22:53, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Acceptable alternative? If i was to reduce the info and just have all that bar the lineups. with scoreline, scorers, yellow and red cards attandance, would that satisfy all? If so i can sort that and be happy.
 * Have a look at the articles in Category:Football (soccer) clubs 2007-08 season which give some good examples to base an article upon. Suggest using these (a good example is Dunfermline Athletic F.C. season 2007-08 - really like the way the individual matches are covered there) as an idea for such an article where the individual matches are part of a good all round article. Davewild (talk) 17:05, 15 June 2008 (UTC)


 * ok excellent, thanks for your help i will make a start on that tomorrow when i get in from work. that looks great so will be going for that idea for Coventry. MrHorse1982 18:18, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, not encyclopedic. Punkmorten (talk) 21:46, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge both articles into Coventry City F.C. season 2007-08 which was produced during the AFD in response to comments made. Smile a While (talk) 02:20, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
