Jamaica at the 2006 Winter Olympics
Unlike Morocco at the 2006 Winter Olympics (which is up for AFD), Jamaica didn't, and was never supposed to compete at the 2006 Olympics. I think we should not have articles for every country that did not participate. Perhaps merge to Bobsleigh at the 2006 Winter Olympics. Punkmorten 10:20, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep There was a Jamaican at the Winter Olympics. This articles is part of a series in two directions - by Olympics and by country. Deleting it will do nothing but harm. Osomec 13:34, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep -- part of an important series of articles. - Longhair 09:09, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - Jamaica's attempt to quallify for the Winter Olympics is notable. Suggest a change of categorization to note that it didn't make it to the 2006 Olympics. Andjam 11:06, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This information is interesting and valuable. -Colin Kimbrell 19:06, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia is indeed not a Walt Disney movie, but what does this have to do with this AfD? Andjam 08:42, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, wikipedia's audience includes Jamaicans, no reason not to serve them properly. Kappa 10:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete content could be moved elsewhere, such at Bobsleigh at the 2006 Winter Olympics.  The " at the Olympics" ought to be reserved for NOCs that actually competed.  Andrwsc 01:40, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Another place to put this content would be Jamaica at the Winter Olympics (not yet written), which is part of a series of pages that provide overall Olympic history for each NOC. See Australia at the Winter Olympics for a good example, including discussion of games not attended by athletes from AUS.  Andrwsc 01:43, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
