The result was no consensus. There's two basic camps here, with blurred lines between them. One camp says we don't need this level of detailed information at all in the encyclopedia. The other camp wants to keep it, but can't figure out if it belongs in the main article or not. Leaving this spun out as a fork seems like a reasonable middle ground. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:50, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Listcruft. The topic in and of itself does not appear notable. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 16:06, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

 * What is a more suitable way to give a summary of winners of the Norwegian second-tier football league? (talk) 23:04, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Maybe consider mentioning the promotion in each team's article, and then Creating a category to add the articles to. Check out Wikipedia's guidelines on categories to see how to do this. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 18:55, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
 * the club's promotions are already, or shall be, mentioned in each clubs article. The category you are suggesting is i.e. "1. divisjon champions" ? However, I strongly recommend that a list of champions in the Norwegian second tier exists. This list has also very limited ammount of teams, with a defined beginning in 1963 and in the future only promoted teams and play-off teams (maximum 6 teams in total) will be added. It is very easy to understand and update for all users. Like SportingFlyer writes further down on this page; a list of champions of a professional football league definitely suggests notability.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep I would suggest merging to 1. divisjon, but this table serves as a valid fork as that article only keeps the winners for the past 20 years, and moving it back would significantly increase the article size. Also, WP:LISTCRUFT is very broad - but the list of champions of a professional football league definitely suggests notability. There's a lot of information out there about Norwegian football...

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 12:58, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge - into the division article(s)Abcmaxx (talk) 01:22, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge A list of champions is a notable subject and should exist somewhere. It could be merged if that's feasible, but makes valid arguments that it isn't. Smartyllama (talk) 19:04, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
