World Cup Teams Ranked by Most Medals
Copy of content in existing FIFA World Cup article, except sorted differently (to make Germany look better, and with a statement at the top that "By looking upon these rankings, we can infer that Germany is the most successful soccer nation in the world.") Chuq 00:26, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Chuq 00:30, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Delete but rename to "List of world cup teams that have won medals" or similar and remove that POV piece about germany. I just found thatit was exactly the same information as in the results section of FIFA World Cup just presented in a different way. Viridae Talk 00:41, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Dont Delete - For those of you who believe this article is in good use thank you and for those who think it should be changed and deleted please wait. I made this article and no I am not trying to make Germany look good or I am not saying the Ranking based on teams winning the most is wrong, all I am saying is to just take note of these rankings and compare and contrast them with the others. I am an American and I have been on the US side. Even my cousins are Italian. Besides that, I will still be editing this for the next couple of days so give me some time and I hope to keep everybody satisfied to the best of my ability. Though I will not change this ranking system. Maybe I could bring out the great records of other teams into the article to create more of an equality. I believe there is no need to delete this and if you want it merged then I will accept your suggestion. Thank You for your opinions. Kr2kewl No Time, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment that would be a POV use of the name "world cup". 132.205.93.83 02:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Smerge into FIFA World Cup or possibly National team appearances in the FIFA World Cup. Definitely not worth its own page - all it would need is the addition of one thin column to the table on the main FIFA World Cup page. Grutness...wha?  00:54, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete The opening paragraph of the article is WP:OR combined with WP:POV. It's claim is not verfiable. The table itself adds nothing that is not already deducible from FIFA World Cup. -- Alias Flood 01:11, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Unnecessary duplication of material already available elsewhere. Also 'medals' is a strange term. Medals? It's not the Olympics, there's no podium, gold, silver and bronze. There's a trophy, which one team wins, and then there are second place, third place and fourth places determined. Sure, individuals are given medals (including individuals in the 4th place team), but its not common to speak of teams winning medals at the world cup. The most successful team is the one that's won the most trophies. So there! ;) Robotforaday 01:48, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as POV recreation of existing topic. Resolute 05:06, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - POV and original 'research' (massaging of data). I originally raised this at the World Cup talk page - note similar discussion there. I've added a note there to comment here, not there. -- Wantok 05:17, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - Duplication of material in FIFA World Cup, and top three is quite arbitrary for World Cup purposes. As someone said, this is not the Olympics. Chanheigeorge 06:00, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. -- Gogo Dodo 06:07, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete —  see great reasons above mboverload @ 08:59, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Moderate Change NO NEED FOR DELETION - True, but i believe this author has a point. Maybe the page should be merged. Medals are given out for first, second, and third. I mean Brazil has won the most and yet their success was not too great this world cup. I suggest changing the ranking to most successfully consistent teams. And yes with this title, the Germans definitely appear to be very stable and consistent with their results apart from all nations to compete in the world cup. Gunit555 20:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * — Possible single purpose account: Gunit555 (talk • contribs) has made little or no other contributions outside this topic. User's second edit - first was to the article nominated. Grutness...wha? 
 * Makes a point No Deletion -  This person makes us understand the great teams and if anyone has any objections, there is no need for a deletion especially when you could go to the other fifa page and see the rankings based on titles. So everybody relax there is no need of great criticism. These rankings do make sense and believe it or not the top three teams happen to still be Brazil, Germany, and Italy, except with standings of consistency like the critic above me said. Keep article or if not, merge it with another ranking to fit in. SoccerKing 21:52, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete as original research and POV. --Core des at talk. ^_^ 04:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete POV fork. This is the first time I have encountered the idea of a World Cup medals table, so I don't think it has much currency. Piccadilly 10:33, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - Original research, POV, nonsense. - Pal 18:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. If anything this trivia point could be mentioned in the main article. The current extra page, POV content and OR should go though. aLii 09:38, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
