Chronology of the Unofficial Football World Championships[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Entirely inappropriate split from Unofficial Football World Championships and, in effect, a lengthy repeat of what can be found on the UFWC website. UWFC is a barely notable method of calculating an alternative football world champion, largely based around a book by Paul Brown. This long list article with no sources other than, presumably, the UFWC website, is a prime example of what Wikipedia shouldn't be about. Sionk (talk) 11:50, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per WP:NOTSTATS for this unofficial "championship" that is a function of stats by definition rather than any form of actual tournament. Fenix down (talk) 06:56, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Unofficial Football World Championships. Giant Snowman 16:10, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTSTATS. Unofficial Football World Championships already has an unjustifiably verbose prose summary of the virtual history of the "Championship", there is nothing in this list that should be transferred to that article. --LukeSurl^{t c} 16:18, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Unofficial Football World Championships. The information is important to the UFWC article but not as a seperate entity. RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 18:10, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's not important because it hasn't received wider coverage other than the UFWC website. Therefore to keep it in any form is undue. Sionk (talk) 20:53, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (I have been one of the main contributors to both this page and the 'parent' article). Since the decision to consider FIFA recognition of a match as irrelevant compared to opportunities for exposure, this has lost any intellectual or academic claim to be taken as a disinterested record of fact. It has become clear that Paul Brown is not a trustworthy custodian of this as a 'title' worthy of tracking. If there is a belief that the website or book is important enough to have an article, that is fine: the title as currently constituted is not, and the parent article should reflect that.
