List of football teams by World Cup performance
Original Research. A very nice idea, but rules are rules. – Elisson • Talk 11:22, 28 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, interesting but original research. Angus McLellan (Talk) 12:03, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Oldelpaso 13:13, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * A pity to delete it just like that. Transfer to Adhocipedia. --Lambiam Talk 14:01, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom (WP:NOR). — Ian Manka Talk to me! 15:23, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. &mdash; Khoikhoi 16:14, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. It should be noted that the info in the page; except for the 'points system' is all avialable elsewhere on Wikipedia --Robdurbar 16:18, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable. --Starionwolf 18:27, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * delete or userfy at least. Fascinating, but OR, sadly. Grutness...wha?  01:49, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Move to All-time FIFA World Cup results table (or something like that). Mariano (t/c) 08:03, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, as per nomination. Furthermore, I would not have used the same rules ;-)--Panairjdde 14:15, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. We should rank the teams by total points (2 or 3 for a win, 1 for a draw). Those are official, unlike this. Chanheigeorge 20:29, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. ... regrettably as I do find it interesting but it is against policy. -- Alias Flood 00:36, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Modify Just assign 3 points to a win and one to a draw, redo table, that shouldn't be original research (correct me if I'm wrong). --Emilio floris 12:14, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Still there!
After this article is deleted, if anyone still wants to view the information contained in it, they may do so at my user page. Thank you. --Mark J 19:47, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I look forward to seeing the update in a few weeks time! Grutness...wha?  01:49, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I will do so as soon as the FIFA official rankings are made available (which may take some time). By the way, if anyone knows of any place where this information could be made freely available, without people taking offence at it, please let me know. --Mark J 20:17, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * No one is taking offence at it, it is just that originial research is not for Wikipedia. Just think about the gigantic page we would have for the ranking if anyone would be allowed to add their own system. For your question about a place where you could place the info, User:Lambiam recommended Adhocipedia in his comment above. – Elisson • Talk 21:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry. Thanks. --Mark J 08:01, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
