Scotland national football team - last 10 away games

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

The information within the page appears to be covered in Scotland national football team 2000–2009 results. Information about the supporters points system might belong in other articles such as Tartan Army or Scottish Football Association but having a separate article in order to list this particular promotion seems pretty redundant when the fixtures themselves are listed elsewhere. Wikipedia is not a news site and having a list of this type goes against the principle of trying to put information into its historical context. Guest9999 (talk) 19:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge the specific promotion as suggested. This page will go out of date every time a new game is played. MadScot666 (talk) 19:13, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge Most of the information within the page is covered in Scotland national football team 2000–2009 results, however in a form that makes it hard to determine what the last away games were. Information about the points system could be incorporated into Tartan Army. See FIFA World Rankings top 25 rankings for an example of another page that "goes against the principle of trying to put information into its historical context" and also contains information that goes out of date every time the rankings are updated (i.e. once a month).

 * The article you mention is about the ranking system, it's details, history, mechanisms and commentary on it (such as criticism). This article seems to exist not to explain the points system (which doesn't seem to have received much coverage) or supporters group (which already has an article) but - as the title suggests - just to document a constantly changing list.

 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:06, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete without merging: there's nothing significant about the "last ten away games" that will need to be merged that likely doesn't already appear on the page. Moreover, this is a ridiculously unlikely search target: merging will create a useless redirect.  Nyttend (talk) 14:35, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOTNEWS / Townlake (talk) 15:24, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge a google search for "scotland away games" or "scotland away matches" has the page as the second match. A wikipedia search for "scotland away games" has the page as the first match. None of those searches is ridiculously unlikely. Dpw77 (talk) 17:37, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
