Djibouti 2010 FIFA World Cup Qualifier Squad

[edit]

The squad list for one match. Individual squad lists might be the the subject matter of news items, but they are not individually notable. Are we to have 18 such articles for each CONCACAF team? Kevin McE (talk) 16:42, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Djibouti national football team. This is already the subject of a merge proposal so I'm not sure why we are here. There is already a World Cup squad at the target so some work is needed to reconcile and update that list but that is an editorial matter. TerriersFan (talk) 18:10, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The proposed target page already has a current squad on it. On what possible grounds we we want it to additionally have a 50 week old squad list? The logical consequence of the proposal to merge is that national team articles would become an almanac of old squad lists. Kevin McE (talk) 19:46, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It can be easily slotted into Djibouti national football team, and it's unlikely that anyone would come here looking for it. (Also, never mind 18 pages for the CONCACAF teams - there'd have to be 48 articles for all the European teams except for the already finished Group 9.)

Delete - the national team page should only have the current squad listed; no need whatsoever for a seperate article. Giant Snowman 09:24, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - already covered in team's main article, and an extremely unlikely search term -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:38, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - we wouldn't have an article like this for any national team Spiderone 14:24, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
