Olympics of the Sports Club Dynamo

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Of all the SV Dynamo lists of titles this is probably the only one where one could debate whether to keep it or not. But ultimately, this list is again indiscrimate, as it is not clear which athlethe won which olympic medal. The latter would be necessary to establish a connection between the individual athlethe and the SV Dynamo. Even then there is little encyclopaedic value to a list of this type. Furthermore there are no citations for the claims in the list, what is problematic as the list has been written by a less than neutral and reliable editor (who has been blocked both here and on the German Wikipedia.

 * Merge a summary into the main SV Dynamo article, but only if reliable sources can be found for this by the end of this Afd, otherwise delete the whole mess. At any rate, those huge lists should go as worse than useless. FCSundae ∨  ☃   (talk) 08:17, 14 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete or Merge in shortened form. There is quite a few issues with this article. Firstly, it credits the titles only to the club, not the athlete, which I think is wrong. It doesn't even mention the athletes names which makes it difficult to follow who exactly won what and takes the success away from the athlete. I think, a compareable example would be, to credit a football (soccer) world cup win for a country back to the club team the player comes from. Secondly, the source of the article is virtually inaccesiable as the link takes you only to a website where you can find the Dynamosport magazine on an index in a library in former East Germany. Thirdly, Dynamosport doesn't seem a neutral source to me at all as it was published by the club itselve, to my knowledge. Being Olympic medals, a reliable source could propably be found to verify the claims but if so, a summary of the gold-silver-bronce medals would propably be enough. List the single medals under the athlets, not the club. EA210269 (talk) 08:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge with Sportvereinigung (SV) Dynamo does not seem to merit its own article but would be a worth addition to the original one, it also needs to reference good sources and mention WHO won the medals in question. Atyndall93  |  talk  11:47, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Unmanageable mess, pet of blocked POV editor. This list was originally part of the SV article which was broken up by that editor in an attempt to protect it from editing to put that article into some sort of shape, so were looking at a circular problem here.
