Teams which have withdrawn from FIFA World Cup

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

In 80 years of the World Cup, five teams have withdrawn. Hardly a big deal. I really don't think this even merits mention at the main FIFA World Cup article, let alone a standalone article. Grammatically mangled title also makes it an extremely unlikely search title..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:32, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Trivial article with little useful information (not even why the teams withdrew). Should be covered in articles on individual championships. Note: it may be possible to write a worthwhile article that includes general information on withdrawing from the World Cup (thus showing it's a notable subject) and specific information on individual withdrawals, but you'd change the title and include text not just stats - Wikipedia is not a sports almanac. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:37, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
