Whittaker World cup 2006
Previously AfD'd here. I tried it as a CSD for lack of context and pretty much everything else, but was told to bring it here. Technically, had I known it had previously been deleted it would be a CSD, but I snoozed and lost, so I'll put it here to make sure nobody calls me names. BigHaz 09:35, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * As a further note about the initial AfD, there was a threat made to recreate the article if it were deleted. A suggestion was made to protect it, and I think this recreation is proof that someone should break out the WP:SALT shaker. BigHaz 09:47, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It definitely doesn't fall under an exact re-creation of an article deleted through the AfD process, because it's never been deleted in such a way (it was speedied last time). The article makes absolutely no sense to me (and Google makes things more confusing), and if I'd been first on the scene I definitely would have speedy deleted it as having so little context as to be nonsense.  However, I trust, who seems to have more information than I.  In any case, threats to re-create the article shouldn't worry us in the slightest &mdash; we are well enough equipped to deal with such things.  fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 10:47, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, so a speedy delete done via AfD is still a speedy delete rather than anything else. I think I'd heard that somewhere along the line, but it's useful to be reminded of this sort of thing. BigHaz 11:02, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. Uncle G 12:18, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No speedy deletion criterion applies to this article. I've attempted to verify that this even exists at all, and come up empty.  Unverifiable. Delete. Uncle G 12:18, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Regular Delete and Protect (if it doesn't fall on speedy deletion criteria).--Hús ö nd 13:47, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete and protect per WP:SNOW as vandalism in the form of nonsense. This article purports to describe a soccer tournament which took place this year involving the national football teams of various countries (as opposed to a group of amateur sides which just used the names of the countries they were from). As such, it would receive thousands upon thousands of Google hits if it actually existed. In fact, it gets 22 or so Google hits, all from Wikipedia itself . I may reconsider if someone can get me a videotape of Vatican City's 4-1 victory over Denmark as listed in this article ... I doubt it. --Metropolitan90 15:56, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * By the way, I admit that this article isn't patent nonsense which would be a speedy deletion criterion. The article is reasonably coherent; the problem is that none of the sporting results described therein actually took place in the real world. --Metropolitan90 15:59, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Does the Vatican City have a football team at all? I can hardly believe that we're having this article nominated for the second time in 24 hours, there's gotta be or there should be some criterion to speedy delete it. --Hús ö nd 18:16, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Funnily enough, the Vatican City does have a national team. Its chances of beating Denmark 4-1, however, are slightly lower than mine of being elected President of the USA. BigHaz 22:47, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, just noticed. Portugal lost all matches while England was flawless. Someone is a bad, bad loser.--Hús ö nd 19:10, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and protect per creator's threat (and now execution) to repost. It's a hoax, self-contradictory and obvious. We probably could have re-opened the original AFD rather than started a new one, but whatever... -- nae'blis 18:57, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete and protect per my vote in the first AfD. Danny Lilithborne 01:34, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
