Scotland national football team results and fixtures

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unlike the rest of Category:Scotland national football team results and fixtures, this article is explicitly about current or upcoming fixtures. As such it's not appropriate for an encyclopedia. We don't maintain rolling lists of football features because it's news material. Scotland national football team 2000–2019 results covers the same period.

 * Redirect to Scotland national football team 2000–2019 results, and add the links of the other national team results articles to that page instead. J Mo 101 (talk) 12:17, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - why redirect to that specific time period, when Scotland has had "results and fixtures" for over 100 years...? GiantSnowman 13:47, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * To be honest I mainly suggested it because that's how it was done when I checked what England national football team results linked to. It also seems like a plausible search term. J Mo 101 (talk) 14:41, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, but why not redirect to Scotland national football team instead? GiantSnowman 15:05, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The editors above seem to have been confused by the fixtures section and so I have removed it. The main point of the list is to serve as a master index of the sublists which break the results into 20-year bands - presumably for reasons of size.  I have also added a citation to a compendious encyclopedia which lists all such results. Colonel Warden (talk) 20:11, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Regardless of whether it's kept in this new dab format (which is probably okay), it needs to be renamed to excise "and fixtures" from the title. I'll do that following the close, assuming that's how it ends up. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 17:00, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - in its new format, it works well as a disambiguation page. Bettia   Talk  09:55, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
