Iran at the 2006 FIFA World Cup
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:CONTENTFORK of 2006 FIFA World Cup squads and 2006 FIFA World Cup Group D. Even if this article were to have a prose addition, it would still be WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Iran's campaign was a group stage exit, as were all its others, so there's no element of intrigue here. There are pages for countries at the Olympics, even as obscure as Marshall Islands at the 2016 Summer Olympics, but that is an overview for a multi-sport event - there's no Marshall Islands in weightlifting at the 2016 Summer Olympics. Quite frankly, this article is pointless. Harambe Walks (talk) 04:02, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I disagree with the reasoning for deletion: there are similar articles for most countries in the 2006 FIFA world cup finals. It could be a perfectly acceptable article if had additional content. In its current state, however, it adds nothing to the Group D page. T0mpr1c3 (talk) 05:30, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
 * No, there are three others and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Harambe Walks (talk) 16:37, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
 * The reason that it is relevant is because the arguments have already been made in relation to other articles of the same nature at the previous deletion discussion, the result of which was Keep. What new arguments are you making? What has changed? T0mpr1c3 (talk) 16:56, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Your input seems week, please see Articles for deletion/Israel at the FIBA Basketball World Cup (for Israel at the 1970 FIFA World Cup) and Articles for deletion/Colombia at the 1998 FIFA World Cup Hhkohh (talk) 07:29, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Draftify it's unsourced at the moment and shouldn't be in mainspace, but it should also be an easily notable article with some care and sourcing. SportingFlyer  talk  12:27, 12 August 2018 (UTC) Keep I've gone ahead and added a few sources. The article can continue to be sourced with narrative context about Iran not found other places per WP:GNG. SportingFlyer  talk  08:03, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Iran at the FIFA World Cup, 2006 FIFA World Cup Group D and 2006 FIFA World Cup cover enough, this extra article of the copied content seems pointless. Govvy (talk) 12:51, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment it seems to me to be a problem with the article's content being copied rather than the general notability of the topic, though. No problem with deleting it, but I don't see a problem with recreating it since I think it's easily sourced properly. SportingFlyer  talk  00:08, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment I added a couple sentences and sources. Not great, but it's a start.


 * Delete Agree with and Articles for deletion/Israel at the FIBA Basketball World Cup Hhkohh (talk) 13:46, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep This article is notable and has a historical value for Iranian football. فرهنگ2016 (talk) 06:25, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Why do you think it is notable? Can you give some evidence about this? Hhkohh (talk) 07:27, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * World Cup games usually have global coverage. These games are part of the history of national team football and have national and global coverage. فرهنگ2016 (talk) 08:38, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - as per nom and multiple users above, everything in this article already exists (and in better / more easily readable form) on different pages. 21.colinthompson (talk) 02:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete as above, simply not needed. GiantSnowman 08:50, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - A section in Iran at the FIFA World Cup should suffice. – PeeJay 14:13, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment Iran at the 1998 FIFA World Cup was PRODed by . I removed the PROD on the basis that there was already a discussion ongoing here on the same issues and so it should just be bundled here if people want it deleted. Smartyllama (talk) 18:14, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
