Melbourne Tigers game recaps (2005/2006 season)
This is a POV account of every game played by a professional Australian basketball team last season. WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information, and seeing as only one team in the league has this info, I'd propose deleting it as we don't want commentary on sports on Wikipedia. At the very least, this should be moved to Wikibooks or something; we could even post on the OzHoopsAlmanac wiki if that's appropriate. Harr o 5 23:11, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Slight merge any significantly imprtant information into the Melbourne Tigers article. A straight delete would also be acceptable. -- Saberwyn 12:58, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I created this article, so would obviously not want to see the entire season's worth of information deleted. I feel this also provides a valuable, historical insight from a sporting perspective, of the champion team from the NBL, in a year where the competition in Australia had some life breathed back into it.
 * Basketball is a growth sport in Australia, with one of the highest junior participation rates of any sport in the country. The Tiger's averaged only around 2,000 at their home games, which seems illogical considering the junior participation levels.  With the talent level of the sport in the country, it will rise again as a premier sport, like in the early '90's where crowds of 15,000 at Melbourne Park were the norm.  When it does, information such as this would be valuable, historical reference. I would be happy to see it posted on an appropriate sporting page, however, I do not believe all the information should be deleted. Happy to discuss this further. Cheers, Ryan --10:54 Apr 17, 2006
 * Keep and rename to Melbourne Tigers 2005-06 given that it was a significant year. If not, *Merge with the Melbourne Tigers. Capitalistroadster 23:19, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Happy to have it renamed to 'Melbourne Tigers 2005-06'. Don't think merge would be a good idea as it would create way too much information for a main page. Cheers, Ryan--21:15 18 April 2006
 * Apply Verifiability ruthlessly and if there is anything useful left at the end, merge. pfctdayelise (translate?) 14:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I would be happy to have this listed on wikibooks or ozhoopsalmanac.com or similair. I would still like to stress that this does provide a valuable, sporting historical reference, of the championship season of a club many regard as Australia's most internationally recognised sporting club.  This is not a indiscrimate collection of any random club's recaps.  It has historical significance within the sport of basketball, one of the most popular sports in the world along with soccer and should not be erased. Thanks. Cheers, Ryan.--7:34 19 April 2006
 * Ozhoopsalmanac would seem to be the most suitable option. We're not connected with them, though. I recommend copy and pasting what you've written here directly over there. cheers, pfctdayelise (translate?) 03:19, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete largely uncyclopædic.--cj | talk 16:02, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as unencyclopaedic. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Transwiki to Wikibooks or Wikia if desired. Stifle (talk) 23:01, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Transfer: Seems like a candidate for Wikibooks, definately not needed here. --Hetar 03:21, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete or transfer to somewhere else, but definitely not the kind of information suitable for Wikipedia.... --Joann e B 23:11, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's not encyclopedic, it's not neutral--"After a stunning demolition of one of last year's grand finalists in Wollongong"--and it therefore doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Jude (talk,contribs,email) 23:17, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
