Stale userspace draft. Timeline that isn't particularly useful way to organize this in my view but maybe someone thinks it could be a draft. Ricky81682 (talk) 21:31, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Do not even blank.  This, or History of women long-distance running, or even History of long-distance running, is a missing article at Outline_of_running.  Very well populated categories such as Category:Female long-distance runners are missing a parent article.
 * There is some coverage at Marathon, particularly Marathon. To avoid content forking or gross overlap, I suggest that long-distance running (800m +) should be covered alongside marathon running.  This draft contains little that is not marathon running, so in the first instance it should maybe be merged into Marathon.
 * Ricky is right, in that this is a very rough draft, maybe not the most useful way to organise, but it is a draft, it is a start, and is suitable content. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:50, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Then move to Draft:History of women long-distance running? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:15, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I have proposed a merge at Talk:Marathon. If no one objects, I will attempt it myself.  I don't think the topic is worth a stand-alone article.  --SmokeyJoe (talk)


 * Delete. I saw SmokeyJoe's inquiry in Talk:Marathon and followed the trail back here. I think anything in this draft related to the marathon is already in Marathon and the other two items refer to the chronology of the women's 800 metres (which could be used to update that article if citations are provided) and the introduction of the first sports bra. I do believe that Wikipedia should have an article that discusses the history and evolution of running as a sport for women, but I would build it within Sport of athletics and fork it if and when it becomes to big. - Location (talk) 20:34, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don;tthink it's been shown that it's useless.  DGG ( talk ) 19:38, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - This has the potential to become an article with major rewriting and cleanup. Kebabpizza (talk) 12:41, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
