Relocation of professional sports teams in Australia and New Zealand

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This article does not describe a single coherent subject. It is, in effect, the potted relocation/merger/expansion histories of three distinct leagues in three different sports: the Australian Football League, National Rugby League and A-League. Parallels among the three leagues are not explored in any significant way, the list of entries indicates that there aren't that many parallels which could sustain an article, and the rest of ANZ's professional sports are ignored completely. Overall I don't believe a valid article under this title can be written - in that I don't see a reason for different sports to be combined by country like this. One alternative to outright deletion would be splitting into articles named Relocation of teams in the Australian Football League, Relocation of teams in the National Rugby League and Relocation of teams in the A-League – but I'd also oppose this on the grounds that those leagues' and clubs' history pages should and already do cover the subject adequately.

 * Strong oppose this was just a WP:SIZE split to a WP:FORK because the parent article was just so enormous. Really you'd have overhaul numerous articles. I am not convinced by your arguments at all either. There's nothing stopping you improving the article, but having a parent article in one place does help navigation Abcmaxx (talk) 09:09, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Split by sport: They are different sports and the page should be split according to the individual sports. Gusfriend (talk) 10:28, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Split by sport/league as currently it's three unrelated sports in one article. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:49, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
