Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Georgia Favor Track Club

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. There is clear consensus that this topic does not qualify for a separate article. While we are encouraged to consider alternatives to deletion, there is also a consensus that a potential merger into College Park, Georgia would not be appropriate. As such we are left with a deletion consensus. Barkeep49 (talk) 02:20, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Found this in CAT:NN cleanup. Several of the sources in the article are primary, others are listings of match results of members of this track club and are not in-depth for this organization. The Atlanta Constitution article I can't access, but it looks decent from the title. However, I'm not finding anything else. [1] just namedrops the organization. [2] just lists this in part of a table of results. [3] states someone was once a member of this club, but is not in-depth. [4] is power rankings on what might be a blog. [5] looks like it might be a paid-for blurb on a track club listing site. I'm not seeing a pass of WP:ORGCRIT here. Hog Farm _Bacon 03:25, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Haven't had a chance to dig in, but since I have access to newspapers.com I found the article in note 1 and linked it so all can see. It's a good sized article with a bunch of color photos. --Krelnik (talk) 15:45, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since there is practically nothing that would enable this subject to claim a stand-alone Wikipedia article, e.g. WP:EVENT, the best alternative to deletion is a Merge to College Park, Georgia, where the program takes place. -The Gnome (talk) 16:19, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Merge this article with College Park, Georgia. Pahiy (talk) 00:14, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Pahiy and The Gnome: - At least to me, having information about a very minor track club seems rather WP:UNDUE at the main city article, especially since no comparable organizations are currently mentioned there, I believe. Hog Farm _Bacon 01:59, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and oppose merge - It lacks the significant coverage to establish notability, and an article on a city is not a dumping ground for non-notable businesses and organisations. -- Whpq (talk) 12:41, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Right now, given the outright opposition to a merge from some participants, we're at no consensus for an article no one seems to be in favor of keeping. Closing it that way seems like a poor outcome, so relisting a third time in hopes that clearer consensus can be found.

Delete, don't merge. Seems too trivial and not relevant enough to the city itself to be in the city article; Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. LittlePuppers (talk) 16:27, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge It makes sense to merge to College Park, Georgia. WP:ATD-M Wm335td (talk) 01:20, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't think it makes sense to merge, this is a minor track club that has some decent members, but no real significance outside of the Atlanta region. It's non-notable, and there's no point in merging. One article in The Atlanta Constitution doesn't mean something is worth a mention in an encyclopedia. A merge doesn't seem to be merited.

Delete: Fails the GNG and WP:ORG. What is the proven significance of this small club to the community? Anything? Ravenswing 17:09, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
