A user divided the article 2025 World Men's Handball Championship into 2 articles : 2025 World Men's Handball Championship and 2025 World Men's Handball Championship qualification : this is useless. The newly page created is unnecessary, overkilling, messy and does not add much of a value at was done previously on the 2025 World Men's Handball Championship page. Plus it has never been done before for the previous tournaments : IHF World Men's Handball Championship. What's more, some of the parts of the page will need to be upated in the original pages and in this newly created article. I propose we delete this new page and we go back to normal as it was before the division into two articles. Pindrice (talk) 05:12, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Someone reviewed it already and didn't ask it to be nominated for deletion. The 2025 World Men's Handball Championship article was so messy before, with multiple tables, an unfinished bidding process section which had false information (it took me years to find out info about the bidding process because no one bothered to put the info in the section) and a messy qualification section.
so I decided to follow the FIFA World Cup route by making changes like adding a qualification page. Also, in my opinion we didn't need a summary of qualified teams and a qualified teams list on the main page, That's why I put the latter into the new page. Deleting the page would feel like I am being punished for caring. If you don't think the qualification article isn't good enough, then improve it, please. The more people editing on the page, the better. It should be exciting to see the World Men's Handball Championship expand to have separate articles about the tournament (like you have for FIFA World Cups), yet I'm getting a reaction like what on earth am I doing. Finally, if it's a problem to do both brackets for the European qualification (both European qualification and general qualification article), then I'll do it, it's not a problem.

Also, if anyone has any advice to improve the article, please tell me. ILoveSport2006 (talk) 19:13, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Like Kante4 said, it does not add any new value of what is already present in overall article. The difference between handball qualification and FIFA World Cup qualification, is that each confederations has its own separate qualification and inter-confederation qualification matches for FIFA WC, while qualification to Handball WC happens through continental championships. 90sveped (talk) 23:07, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Like Kante4 said and in my personal opinion, this article is not outstanding enough to stand alone and had not handball world championship tournament has ever had an article about qualification. Redirect to 2025 World Men's Handball Championship. Mohammed07102007 (talk) 03:02, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep valid article split and already contains more information than other qualifying sections for other tournaments. SportingFlyer T·C 12:15, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and Draftify If the original author says he can improve it, we give him that chance, and it should go through AfC again, ensuring it it meets notability first. DarmaniLink (talk) 18:59, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
