The result was delete as unnecessary duplication of information. Also note that this section does not contribute much to the size of the article, so the argument that it is needed as split to reduce the size does not have merit. —Doug Bell talk 01:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Sheffield United F.C. managers

 * — (View AfD)

This is simply a duplication of the "managers" section on the main Sheffield United article, with no additional information ChrisTheDude 10:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

*Oppose The intention is to remove it from the main article which is said to be 'too long'. roundhouse 10:27, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup - Remove the Managers section from the main article (which is quite long, when set out into one column) and expand the daughter article to include dates and other statistics. For a good example of this see how Manchester_City_F.C. and List of Manchester City F.C. managers work. Qwghlm 10:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, move and cleanup, move to List of Sheffield United F.C. managers and do the rest of what Qwghlm proposes. – Elisson • T • C • 15:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - The main club article is the best place for this data. If the main article is too long, strip out some of the "trivia" or other stuff instead. - fchd 19:15, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - the main article is not too long. If this list included a brief description of the time each person spent as manager and what they achieved, it would be worth keeping (as there would not be room for that in the main article). But as it stands, it adds nothing to existing coverage of the topic elsewhere. WJBscribe 20:14, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, at least to allow a process similar to the one Qwghlm describes. If there's no improvement in a month, re-nominate. Eludium-q36 21:58, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - what's the information in this list?? I'm feeling like football articles are turning to be too much of statistical information and too less of really interesting content. --Angelo 03:30, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, move, expand and cleanup and change Sheffield_United_F.C. to a brief 'Notable managers' section as in the Manchester City example above (which looks fine to me). roundhouse 09:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, move and cleanup, per Qwghlm. HornetMike 00:08, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
