Iraq national football team results

[edit]

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

Article fails notability. No references cited. Author has created many articles titled "Iraq national football team in <<year>>". None cite any sources. It is simply a score record, which doesn't belong on Wikipedia.
Note: If this article is deleted, the rest of the articles entitled "Iraq national football team in <<year>>" should be also deleted accordingly. NikolaiHo^☎️ 00:08, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup Needed This article needs cleanup, not deletion; I can see how this article serves a purpose in being an organized way to more easily access the Iraq national football team results by decade articles, but, clicking for example 1975 results vs clicking 1976 results just takes you to the 1970-79 results page, there's no difference when clicking either. Also the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s sections of the article should each be made into their own respective articles as done with the 1960s, 70s and 80s results information.

Keep - A simple google search shows that the performances of the Iraq national football team receive sufficient coverage to satisfy WP:LISTN. However, I agree with the comments above that the results need sourcing and we don't really need articles for individual years. Fenix down (talk) 10:57, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Mostly agree with Fenix down, but also need clean up. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 07:30, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not convinced by GNG/LISTN arguments. Giant Snowman 11:02, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Fenix Down but needs cleanup.Football is Iraq's most popular sport clearly notable.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 16:58, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Much like what people has said with it needing to be a clean up and with an addition to the sources it should get better. Matt294069 is coming 11:10, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - we have a similar list for many associated football teams. The elephant in the room that everyone seems to be missing is that almost every match has a match report, so all this shagrin of the article being uncited is not actually true. Clean though is required as the first !vote states. Inter&anthro (talk) 16:22, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but all information that important must have inline citations for verification. NikolaiHo^☎️ 01:27, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So I suggest add ((refimprove)) after AFD close. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 01:32, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You are quite confident the result will be keep:) NikolaiHo^☎️ 02:34, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, thanks for montioning it, that action only for keep result. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 03:19, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
