History of the FIFA World Cup
It is just copied from the FIFA World Cup article, although I can see scope for a good article here, but it is just a copy of the history section in orginial article. --Differentgravy 19:21, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. I created this article following a comment on the FAC of the parent. I used the existing history as a starting point, and fully intend to expand it in the next day or two. Oldelpaso 19:38, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand, per Oldelpaso. There is a valid push by many users to expand the history section, and the FIFA World Cup article is getting too bloated (36kB+), so this daughter article is necessary. — Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 20:21, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand just make sure that history is removed from the FIFA article so there's no redundancy. --Strothra 21:37, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand per Oldelpaso  jaco plane  23:25, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep and expand. During both FA nominations I have suggested strongly to the creators that this article needed to be written. I am glad to see the task has been taken up. It is not in the slightest worthy of deletion. Daniel Case 00:11, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and do not remove the section from the main article (though abbreviation of the history in the main article might or might not be a good thing). When a break out article is created it is for the sake of further expansion, it does not mean that the topic no longer needs to be covered in the main article. CalJW 01:04, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, of course --Deville (Talk) 03:42, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
