Football teams in Bristol[edit]

Wikipedia is not a directory (WP:NOT#DIR) or a collection of indiscriminate information (WP:NOT#INFO). Plus there is already a category for Sport in Bristol. Number 5 7 12:47, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The entries to this article are fairly famous in England. --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 15:09, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but why do we need an article listing them specifically? Most of them are also listed in Bristol#Sport & leisure. Number 5 7 15:16, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well not ALL clubs are being listed. This list aims to be more specific in listing non-league clubs as well. --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 15:25, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They are all listed on their league articles (e.g. Gloucestershire County League) so this is just duplication (and in some cases triplication!). Number 5 7 15:31, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The list is not long enough to warrant its own article - "Sport in Bristol" and "Bristol#Sport & leisure" should be perfectly adequate, and we surely don't want the same list in three different places (imagine trying to keep them all up to date). There are so many headings in this article, with such short lists in between, that the article is little more than a small jumble of information that is already (or should be) available in other articles. That's what I think, anyway. :-) Leevclarke 15:29, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Culture of Bristol#Sport. I agree that the list isn't really long enough to warrant its own article (even though I created it, in my early days on Wikipedia), but it's not a duplication of an existing category, so I feel that the info should be kept somewhere.

Merge as suggested by Gasheadsteve as I don't it needs a separate article just for football teams.--JForget 15:36, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per Gasheadsteve. Ref ^(chew)(do) 19:05, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
