Rock Eisteddfod Challenge results

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article which lists the results of a school-music competition. The event itself is notable, the list of winners isnt. Reminds me alot of the list of school sporting competition winners which have been debated here before. Twenty Years 03:38, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Indiscriminate information and WP:NOT. Crazysuit 05:57, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep This is not an indiscriminate list. It is a list of results of a notable competition which is within the scope of WP:LISTS. What is needed is some editing to divide the results into separate pages for each year with a short description of the event for that year to improve readability. The fact that something was deleted previously on AfD does not mean that other things should be. Only WP policies should be applied. Assize 11:20, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree, the competition is notable. Couldn't there simply just be a list of champions on the actual competition page, instead of a list of results from every round, this would help the readability of it. This information is generally covered in school articles, which mention that they participate in the competition. Twenty Years 12:41, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree that readability is poor on the page. I suspect that the main article would be too long and would need to be split under wiki policies anyway. Somebody just needs to be bold and make the list more user friendly. Assize 09:13, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep and trim drastically to only include each year's overall winner in a simple list. Merging the list of winners into the main article would make it unwieldy. Including every zone winner in every category goes beyond the level of notability established.  Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not the rock eisteddfod almanac.  Once kept, this can be further discussed on the article talk page, which is where this should have been taken in the first place. -- Mattinbgn\talk 06:23, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Following User: Assize, the article needs to edited for clarity and readability. Given the notability of the competition, winning is also notable (and in some cases may provide the notability claim for a participating school). A brief outline of the winning performances would clarify what the criteria are for success in this competition as well as what the event is about. Eyedubya 10:45, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep but reduce scope to be only state and national winners... I don't think the "Bathurst divsion" winners are that significant and are difficult to compare to the "Sydney winners" or even 5th place getters.... Garrie 02:17, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
