Why is this a separate article to the Hungary at the FIFA World Cup which has this information bar the qualifying area. Also possibly fails WP:GNG. I would also like to nominate these articles for the same reason.

Comment: What about the other articles in this template Template:Countries at the FIFA World Cup by year then ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Migrant (talk • contribs)

Delete - I don't think these kind of articles are needed; content can be adequately covered at the World Cup page / national team history page. GiantSnowman 09:16, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: @GiantSnowman: What's the difference in type of article-subject with this article (Brazil at the 1970 FIFA World Cup) then ? Which is also linked in the above-linked template. If you allow one you should allow the other, unless you only allow winners team-article ? And shouldn't the other articles also be notified/listed here if they are subject of this discussion ?

For the second time - WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Giant Snowman 09:31, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To be more specific than GiantSnowman, who just posted a link without explaining why it applied, the fact that a handful of individual countries at individual World Cups have articles does not mean every country at every World Cup should, and indeed there areonly two or three nations per World Cup listed at that template. If every single nation that qualified for every World Cup had an article like this, it would be different (though undoubtedly some would still misapply OTHERSTUFFEXISTS) but that's not where we are.

Delete - Why are these countries separated by year? Unless something notable (e.g. world record or doping scandal) occurs on a given year, there really shouldn’t be these kinds of articles, they can be adequately explained on the “Country at the FIFA World Cup” page.

Delete all - in each case the content is already covered better elsewhere. Some of the other ones probably need to be deleted too. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 14:18, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all – by precedense of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brazil at the 2006 FIFA World Cup-discussion. Best regards Migrant (talk) 04:01, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- That was THIRTEEN YEARS ago. Consensus can change,and clearly has given that far more recent AfDs on similar articles have resulted in delete outcomes -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:08, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Although I'm normally loathe to see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXIST applied in the matter it is here, it's not as if every single other nation which ever qualified for a World Cup has an article for that year. It's normally only a couple per tournament that are the most notable and get over the GNG hump. Brazil does that, there may be one or two other teams per tournament which do, but not Hungary.
