The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's
talk page or in a deletion review
). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete where overarching article does not exist, redirect (allowing for merge) if it does. There is a slight consensus to delete here; there is a number of comments about merging the content, but as regards the Algeria article these talk about merging to an article that does not exist. Therefore, I have deleted the article, but if anyone would like the content from any of the deleted articles to attempt to create a notable article like the one discussed in the comments, please contact me or another admin. As the overarching article for the Netherlands (Netherlands at the UCI Road World Championships) does exist, I have redirected there; the content is still in the history if anyone wants to merge it in.

Algeria at the 2015 UCI Road World Championships

Nations at the xxx pages are usually reserved for events with multiple sports or disciplines. This one focuses on just one sport. Also quoting Peter Rehse, from another similar AFD [1], "they are all a rehash of a single source. National results for events that are borderline notable themselves. Even there there is nothing demonstrating that [the country] performed anywhere near notable." Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 02:52, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also nominating the following for the articles in the following category: Nations at the UCI Road World Championships except the ones that are not in a subcategory . Total article count:642 +

  • Note BRFA has been submitted to add AFD notices to all relevant pages. Primefac (talk) 03:25, 23 December 2016 (UTC) BRFA put on hold until I know exactly how deep this AFD rabbit hole is going. Primefac (talk) 15:08, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Update all pages nominated in this particular AFD have been tagged. Primefac (talk) 00:17, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete - it is an example of proliferation of sports statistics cruft that's best left for dedicated databases. Renata (talk) 01:28, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, as stated, these articles are a considerably different case than X at the Olympics. --Tone 09:27, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. While I generally agree with arguments in favor of delete, I feel the best solution would be to merge the per-country-per-year articles into per-country articles (Algeria at the UCI Road World Championships, etc.). GregorB (talk) 12:13, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Consider merging to per-country articles only if there are viable significant non-stats content (e.g. historical/social/cultural details) worthy of mention. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:35, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge all per GregorB. -- Shudde talk 09:41, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep
1) The nominator says events that are borderline notable themselves, well the event meets
WP:NCYC and it's even at Wikipedia:In the news/Recurring items
.
2) As per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/France at the 2014 European Athletics Championships. (Note that the European Athletics Championships are not listed at Wikipedia:In the news/Recurring items)
3) THe nominator says Nations at the xxx pages are usually reserved for events with multiple sports or disciplines. But the same kind of series are made for the Category:Nations at the European Athletics Championships and Category:Nations at the World Championships in Athletics. These events have the same notability standard.
4) The pages where discussed at the Cycling Wikiproject, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cycling/Archive 12#Country pages for the UCI Road World championships. Lugnuts, XyZAn and Buzzards-Watch Me Work joined the discussion and nobody was against.
or Renaming: It might be better to rename all such pages into like 2015 in Dutch road cycling, 2015 in French road cycling etc.. (Note that merging into the national pages is difficult as there are already pages named Netherlands at the UCI Road World Championships, Germany at the UCI Road World Championships and United States at the UCI Road World Championships. )
