List of sporting events in 2004 by audience number
Article is incomplete, has a misleading title, and serves no useful purpose. It is also the only article of its type and the article's discussion page contains a debate about its usefulness. BoojiBoy 15:52, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Neutral. The title's rubbish, and it needs context of other years, but its actually quite interesting.  -- GWO
 * Keep. Good list of useful info for sports fans. Would like to see this for every year. --JJay 21:28, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete indiscriminate list of information, could mean anything and is not limited by jurisdiction or status, but only by events in that particular year; is a footy match in western Sydney valid (whether it is an NRL match or a school game) if it is independently verifiable?

 * Keep per JJay (though I doubt anyone's going to pay registration fees to create these articles). How would you suggest retitling, GWO? I actually think it's fine. --Chaser T 09:12, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with Broadcasting of sports events where this could actually be meaningful in the context of a real article. Oh, and I definitively don't want to see this for every year, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. (Edit: Just clarifying: numbers from other years are ok for as long as they illustrate something such as the popularity of sport events. Having tables of this for every year, however, is just cruft with no purpose whatsoever). Equendil Talk 06:06, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
