Ethiopia at the 1976 Summer Olympics
There seems to be some confusion over which countries boycotted the 1976 olympics, see Talk:1976 Summer Olympics. But is no doubt that Ethiopia boycotted these games (this pdf: and the BBC) so this article shouldnt exist -- Astrokey44 |talk 14:24, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep if it did boycott the games, it can still have an article documenting its boycott. As I understand it, the boycott started after the opening ceremonies, so countries could both have competed and boycotted the games. If we have a boycott article, it can be redirected there, if Ethiopia had not competed in any events at all. Still the article can be used to document the travails of the athletes to get to the Olympics, or the decisions of the NOC. 132.205.44.134 22:53, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. There's nothing to write about about its performance in the '76 games because it did not compete. The boycott is already discussed at the parent article. Mike H. That's hot 07:10, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - How was it the 6th appearance of Ethiopia at the Olympics if they didn't go? --Nobunaga24 00:59, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
