The Big Four (football)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article doesn't cite any sources. Questionable factual basis and neutrality - for example, why a big 4 and not a big 3 or 5? why base any distinction on turnover - why not gate receipts? why not league/cup success? definition is too broad and infrequently used. Jw2034 22:55, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 16:20, 24 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect to Central Pacific Railroad. Propaniac 16:39, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Nomination referred incorrectly to The Big Four. --Dhartung | Talk 19:25, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, it does make more sense now. Delete per everyone else, I guess. Propaniac 12:42, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Change to a disambiguation article with links to other "big fours." Realkyhick 17:28, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Arbitrary terms like these have passing use. If you take a ten-year time frame from anywhere else in the FA Cup Finals timeline, other dominant clubs emerge. Without any kind of sourcing, the only alternative is to delete. Caknuck 21:04, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This is far too arbitary - for instance, in this article, a 'Big Five' is referred to (in terms of turnover).  E LIMINATOR JR   TALK  22:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Sounds like an example of POV to me Rackabello 00:47, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete POV, lots of big # in most sports, varies by location. Carlossuarez46 04:17, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
