David Beckham move to Los Angeles Galaxy

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

Individual moves are the subject matter for news articles, not encyclopedia articles. While the subject matter is clearly worth including in the article on David Beckham and possibly Los Angeles Galaxy, I think we should really wait until the dust settles to see if this has real historical significance in and of itself. Perhaps it is a shame to delete outright this work, but I think that a transwiki of the article to wikinews, and merging of appropriate parts to David Beckham and elsewhere would be appropriate. Otherwise, this is a pretty dangerous precedent of encyclopedia articles on individual transfers. Robotforaday 14:29, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Taking the $250 million over 5 years at face value, it's the biggest contract ever signed in the history of sport... and it's a main page article. I consider it notable enough for inclusion. ugen64 14:33, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge as above. Mo need for individual articles on transfers when the player and club pages can cover it. WikiGull 14:53, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
