World Championships of the Sports Club Dynamo

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

Indiscriminate and unreferenced list of world cup medals, although what exactly this list is for is never explained (Olympic medals? World championship? World record? No explanation in the article). The only source given is the official club magazine. Given that this was former East Germany and given that the article was created by a user who is blocked both on the German and English Wikipedia and known for POV pushing in relation to SV Dynamo articles all these claims of world championships are dubious.

 * Delete. This article may be pushing a point of view by crediting all the championships won by the club's members to the club itself -- even though, when competing at an Olympics or a world championship, the athletes would have been representing their country rather than their club. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:20, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep one of the most notable athletic organisations in the world for decades. everything here should be verifiable easily enough, tho Im not expert in the subject. I am not sure whether the other articles listed here should be merged or not, but this one at least seems justifiable. DGG (talk) 07:49, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete there is quite a few issues with this article. Firstly, it credits the titles only to the club, not the athlete, which I think is wrong. It doesn't even mention the athletes names which makes it difficult to follow who exactly won what and takes the success away from the athlete. I think, a compareable example would be, to credit a football (soccer) world cup win for a country back to the club team the player comes from. Secondly, the source of the article is virtually inaccesiable as the link takes you only to a website where you can find the Dynamosport magazine on an index in a library in former East Germany. Thirdly, Dynamosport doesn't seem a neutral source to me at all as it was published by the club itselve, to my knowledge. EA210269 (talk) 08:39, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Unmanageable mess, pet of blocked POV editor. This list was originally part of the SV article which was broken up by that editor in an attempt to protect it from editing to put that article into some sort of shape, so were looking at a circular problem here.
