England national rugby union team - Results 2000-present

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

Is simply a duplicate of parts of the article List of England national rugby union team matches (1970–present), but without the table colours corrisponding to certain cups.

It was created by this user in March, and was last edited on 1 May.

The name is also wrong as it should be a "List of...". - tholly  --Turnip-- 17:36, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment - While this is definitely redundant, it may be worth keeping, because the article List of England national rugby union team matches (1970–present) is 108kb long and should probably be split into several different lists. Consequently, it may be worth keeping this article, and simply renaming it to List of England national rugby union team matches (1970–present), then summarising the results in the main list to remove any redunadancy. - Shudde   talk  06:59, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * We could do, but it is now probably out of date, and the colours have been removed, so we would have to recreate it. Also, if the page is split up, it might be worth keeping games since 2000 on the main page - for quicker reference. Until someone does split up the article the page is redundant though. I will put a splitting up tag on the article as it is now 110kb long. - tholly  --Turnip-- 15:05, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * It certainly needs a split but how the split is carried out should be discussed on the talk page first rather than arbitrarily keeping these articles simply because they have been created. Smile a While (talk) 02:23, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Fabrictramp  |  talk to me  18:12, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge, if any non-overlapping content, into List of England national rugby union team matches (1970–present) and then redirect. I notice that a merge discussion has been set up and that is always a better way forward for such overlapping pages than an AFD listing. Smile a While (talk) 02:23, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think there is no content unique to that page, but if so, that can be merged. Then a redirect would work. - tholly  --Turnip-- 15:18, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect to List of England national rugby union team matches (1970–present) - a separate article doesn't appear to be required at this stage. PhilKnight (talk) 15:26, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
