Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of 2010 FIFA World Cup matches (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to 2010 FIFA World Cup. If I understand this correctly, the end result should be all of the following merges (which have already been performed) and replaced by redirects to preserve history (which I'm about to take care of).


 * List of 2010 FIFA World Cup matches -> 2010 FIFA World Cup
 * List of 2006 FIFA World Cup matches -> 2006 FIFA World Cup
 * List of 2002 FIFA World Cup matches -> 2002 FIFA World Cup
 * List of 1998 FIFA World Cup matches -> 1998 FIFA World Cup
 * List of 1994 FIFA World Cup matches -> 1994 FIFA World Cup
 * List of 1990 FIFA World Cup matches -> 1990 FIFA World Cup

The list is redundant for 2010 FIFA World Cup. Let's also consider List of 2006 FIFA World Cup matches, List of 2002 FIFA World Cup matches, List of 1998 FIFA World Cup matches, List of 1994 FIFA World Cup matches, and List of 1990 FIFA World Cup matches; see also Articles for deletion/List of 2014 FIFA World Cup matches and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.

 * Keep - This may seem like a case of WP:ILIKEIT, but personally I believe that a chronological list of the matches at this tournament is just as valuable as a list organised by group. I'm not sure why the 2014 list was deleted, but this is something I think should exist in conjunction with the rest of our coverage of major tournaments. – PeeJay 22:14, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * It was deleted because the exact table is already present in the main article. I've gone ahead and done the same for the 2010 World Cup page. Do U(knome)?  yes...or no 11:25, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - As the proposer of the AfD for the 2014 article, I support this as the logic is the same. Keep in mind I had to move the content from to the main World Cup article (it wasn't present already, unlike for the 2014 case), so I wouldn't automatically support deleting the lists for the 1990-2006 World Cup matches unless they are effectively merged as well. Do U(knome)?  yes...or no 11:21, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - for the simple reason that it is redundant. I suppose it could be a redirect since it is a plausible search term. Spiderone  13:11, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete all following the same logic as []. Aspirex (talk) 19:55, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge and delete all - Per precedent set by Articles for deletion/List of 2014 FIFA World Cup matches. These are best chronicled in their respective main tournament pages. — Jkudlick t c s 22:48, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete all per past consensus as highlighted by Jkudlick. GiantSnowman 09:14, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect all. Now that User:Udonknome has performed a merge, we have to keep the article history around for attribution purposes.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 06:50, 31 December 2015 (UTC).
