The result was Keep, but recommend creating a new article Fencing in Mexico and merging this to it (or equivalently, rescope+rename this one). —Quarl ^(talk) 2007-02-25 04:36Z

Federacion Mexicana de Esgrima[edit]

Appears to be a non-notable fencing organization. About 1000 ghits. Some bad signs: there are no significant incoming or outgoing links, and there's no interwiki with Espanol. If it's not deleted, consider moving to "Mexican Fencing Federation," the English name. YechielMan 17:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Creating outgoing links just requires a bit of formatting, sources would be nice but I think the subject is probably important enough for an article. No opinion on the need for a move – Qxz 21:10, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, it merits an article as a national sports federation. I agree that the move may be in order, possibly combined with rescoping the article to something broader like Fencing in Mexico. Conscious 12:13, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as national sports federation per above and move to Mexican Fencing Federation per nom. Lack of incoming links can be corrected by editing "Sports in Mexico" or Fencing. -- Black Falcon 18:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment "Mexican Fencing Federation" does not appear to be a common way to refer to this association. "Fencing in Mexico" would be a good idea if the rescoping can occur, but if the article remains about the association, this name appears to be the more common one.

You are right (see [1]). However, "Mexican Fencing Federation" is just the direct translation of the organisation's name. "Fencing in Mexico" would be nice, but it would require refocusing, as you have noted. I think it might be alright to leave the page at this title, but the English translation should be noted in the article (I will add it momentarily). -- Black Falcon 20:22, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
