General Statistics on Football at the Summer Olympics

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

Contested prod. Even if it was cleaned up (introduction added, sources, etc.), the main premise of the article is that it is comparing results across a disparate set of Olympic football tournaments, using a point calculation scheme that was not used for many of those individual tournaments. Therefore, it violates WP:No original research. It also combines the results of non-equivalent nations (e.g. USSR and Russia, Czechoslovakia and Czech Republic, etc.), which directly contradicts the conventions for Olympic results. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 22:39, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete as WP:OR and because of the confusion over non-equivalent nations. King of the  North  East  10:56, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The non-equivalent nations are now separated. (Maybe Germany/West Germany can also be splited.) The point calculation scheme looks good to me, because this is the only possibility to match all the stats from different years. (This scheme is sometimes also used for all games played in the FIFA World Cup finals.) This list is interesting because it shown how many games a nation played or how many goals they scored, and all the general stats are shown in one table. Such a list is unique and these stats can not be found within wikipedia, so maybe it is possible to improve it. (By the way the table only shows the years 1908-2004, the years 1900 and 1904 are not included.) Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 14:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably Delete as WP:OR...though would be good to hear from the creator of the article as it was AFDed only a couple of hours after creation. Possibly salvagable if there are sources (preferably Olympic bodies) for such a compilation and the point calculation scheme and it was tidied to separate non-equivalent countries.

 * Delete per nom. Note: While doing CSD patrol I noticed the original author had put a tag and the article was then deleted. After being notified of the issue of this AfD which while working CSD I had failed to notice, I restored the article. Sorry for the mishap. Alexf42 13:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
