Softball and Baseball Voted out of 2012 Olympics

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

Attempted merge but target merge (Olympic sports) did not want this orphan. Delete because no content salvageable. Rifleman 82 (talk) 05:00, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as this is just an essay that's already present (in the form of a few cited sentences) at Olympic sports. Concur that there's really nothing relevant here to merge.  B figura  (talk) 05:03, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as essay-like article which duplicates key points already included in Olympic sports. --DAJF (talk) 05:06, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Cleanup and merge into Baseball at the Summer Olympics and Softball at the Summer Olympics respectively, with emphasis on cleanup. It is too much detail for an entire subsection of Olympic sports, but could be salvaged into the individual per-sport articles with some work, I think.  — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 05:10, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I think we could probably do that by copying a sentence or two from olympic sports into each article . I'm not really sure there's much to merge here that isn't already present at those articles except for the fact that it's been removed). -- B figura (talk) 05:32, 2 May 2008 (UTC) I've added the relevant information to the two articles -- B figura  (talk) 05:45, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I agree. The remainder might belong in articles like USA Baseball or Softball, if properly cited.  — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 15:58, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as above, it's just a redundant essay. Redrocket (talk) 05:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete and move anything useful to Baseball at the Summer Olympics and Softball at the Summer Olympics per Andrwsc. Cordless Larry (talk) 15:11, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge This information would be better if it was telescoped into an Olympics article; it doesn't belong as a standalone piece. Ecoleetage (talk) 16:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The relevant Olympic-related content is already discussed in the appropriate Olympics articles. The remainder doesn't belong in any of them and would have to be merged somewhere else.  — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 17:09, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
