Post Pattern & Wheel pass
Delete: I've taken this information and integrated it into American football strategy. I don't see how this can ever be more than a stub, or a part of a separate article on passing plays if that section gets too large Wikibofh 20:14, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Why not just redirect Post Pattern to American football strategy? why put it on AFD?--Kewp (t) 20:29, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Good question.  Because I didn't think about it.  :)  I just did wheel pass too.  If no one has objections I will just do the redirects and then request this be closed.  Wikibofh 20:35, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Please close AfD: Per conversation here I have converted both of these into redirects.  No information was lost when I merged the information into the article and I don't think this AfD is required anymore.  Wikibofh 22:39, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment There are dozens of types of football plays. If we redirect all of them to American football strategy, the article will become 500K long. The post pattern, if not the wheel pass, could be made into a full article with a description of the route, a diagram, the fact that Paul Warfield was famous for running it, etc. I don't want to set a precedent that football plays are not to be included. -- Mwalcoff 02:21, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I would argue that if it gets to that point we would split it off into something like American football pass plays as a seperate article referenced from the main, but each of these individual plays is unlikely to ever be notable enough for its own article.

 * Comment a redirect doesn't add any length to the article at all, however, Wikibofh already merged the material to American football strategy before s/he posted the article to AFD. My suggestion was to not delete Post Pattern but change the contents into a redirect.--Kewp (t) 12:55, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have converted them to redirects. Wikibofh 15:29, 7 October 2005 (UTC) (ps:  he :)
