Sport and the Australian federal election, 2013[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An exceptionally minor (basically non-existent) point in the election campaign; total trivia. Basically a random collection of largely unrelated facts drawn together by a tenuous common thread. Frickeg (talk) 05:34, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom - "largely unrelated facts drawn together by a tenuous common thread" is spot on. St Anselm (talk) 05:44, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Clearly created in good faith, but as this wasn't an important aspect of the election it's not a notable topic. Nick-D (talk) 05:57, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Probably the most telling sentence in the article is the final one in the first paragraph of the lead - "During the election, there was little debate between the major parties over sport policies." So no need for an article. HiLo48 (talk) 06:15, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
strong delete as all of above. Using synthesis to try to invent a notable topic out of routine announcements such as stadium upgrades and somehow listing announcements during an electoral term."During the period of the Gillard Government (2010-2013), there were several Parliament of Australia inquiries into current sport issues". Listing sportspeople as politicians does not relate to government or opposition policy on sport. LibStar (talk) 13:05, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - article content does not disclose sufficient grounds for notability. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 12:41, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and close per every contribution above. Timeshift (talk) 06:44, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
