List of Ryder Cup matches

This is essentially the same article as Ryder Cup. There is no need for two of them, I suggest a deletion or merge. ...William 14:22, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep (and suggest removing any repetition from the Ryder Cup article). Note, this is not the venue to suggest a merge.  That would be Proposed mergers. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:26, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep As the creator of the page I am obviously biased, but I will outline why the page should be kept regardless. Firstly, the Ryder Cup article has a lot of scope for expansion, there is no significant history section, and the other sections could be expanded also. There is a precedent with List of Masters Tournament champions, List of U.S. Open (golf) champions, List of The Open Championship champions and List of PGA Championship champions existing with similar length parent articles to this list. I'm aware WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not necessarily a valid argument, but I do think its relevant. Essentially my point is the Ryder Cup article can be greatly expanded, which would negate the argument for this page being deleted. NapHit (talk) 14:30, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't see the need for the article. We have a list of Ryder Cup matches in the main article (Ryder Cup) and individual articles on every Ryder Cup where details of the individual contests should go. Clearly we could delete the list of Ryder Cups from Ryder Cup and provide a link from there to List of Ryder Cup matches instead but I can't see why this would be better than the current situation. I agree the history section in Ryder Cup is very limited but I don't think this article is the way forward. BTW Personally I would get rid of the 4 pages mentioned above too eg List of The Open Championship champions. Simply a repetition of information in the main article and having two identical or nearly identical lists just introduces more errors. Nigej 21:50, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
