Davis Cup structure

Unnecessary content fork. The format of Davis Cup is already sufficiently explained in the main article Davis_Cup#Format, which is not overly long. MakeSense64 (talk) 17:01, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason: this content already exists in Fed_Cup#Format:

Merge - 100% agree that these have no place as separate articles in wikipedia. I'm not convinced though that these tables should simply disappear, as opposed to finding a place in the main articles. Fyunck(click) (talk) 23:23, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just copied the tables into the main articles. Makes the articles better imo. The table for Davis Cup dates back to 2010 and can probably be updated. That is often the problem with too many content forks, not everything is kept up to date. MakeSense64 (talk) 07:17, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. No we just need this to go away into the delete bin or simply redirect it to the main articles since in essence they have now been merged. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:37, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt we need a redirect. Who is going to search for "Davis Cup structure"? I guess they will just search "Davis Cup". As for the Davis Cup table, maybe we can change it to a more generic formulation that we don't need to edit every year? That's what we have in the Fed Cup article.

We don't need the page but otherwise the edit history gets lost forever when deleted and that's generally frowned upon unless there are like 3 total edits. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:59, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is not much in the edit history given that this page has existed for 7 years. Most of the editing was just updating the current structure to current year. The Fed Cup structure page has even an shorter history. But if a redirect is deemed necessary, then I am OK with that. Redirects are cheap. MakeSense64 (talk) 08:57, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
