Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Santos FC

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page, if it exists; or after the end of this archived section. The result of the debate was KEEP.

Santos FC
Marked for speedy but isn't a candidate. Reason was "article criterion#1". My understanding of criterion 1 is that the contents of the article do not go significantly beyond what can be gleaned from the title; however, someone unfamiliar with soccer is unlikely to know that Santos FC is the name of a soccer club, or the name of one of its star players. On the other hand, it's a tiny little substub. Nominator abstains from voting.  &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 02:48, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, even if it eventually becomes a redirect to an article of another name. There's an article for every group of hairless primates that chases a ball, why not this one? Cleduc 03:52, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It may be only a tiny stub, but Santos is one of the world's most famous soccer clubs. Its best known player was a guy named Pele. I shall attempt a rewrite. Grutness...  wha?  06:39, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Never mind - it's already here as Santos Futebol Clube. Changing vote to merge and redirect. Grutness...  wha?  06:48, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm closing this as a speedy keep, as nobody's actually given a valid reason for deletion. Merging what little extra content there is into Santos Futebol Clube, and done. sjorford &rarr;&bull;&larr; 09:13, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
