These seem like cruft to me. The excessive trivial week-by-week results here are unencyclopedic while the pertinent information is in the corresponding Draft, PPV and Brand articles. I don't see any reason for keeping them. Feedback ^☎ 05:54, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alliance to End Hulkamania these were all teams that were just thrown together for a month of existence. Every Suvivor Series team in history should have a page by this criteria. Only, this team was brought back every year with different members, different opponents, etc. These articles are very hard to understand because everything changes with each passing section. These are a tough read for me, and must be incomprehensible for those who have no knowledge about the subject.LordMaldad2000 (talk) 21:53, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge them together, maybe? There's been a long and notable (though intermittent) feud of sorts between the brands, including major storylines, PPVs and a video game series. I think we should have something on the general angle, but an article for each team seems wrong. And I'm not seeing the point of including the drafts. Just something about the history of the various teams named Team RAW and Team SmackDown and their "brand supremacy" battles. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:48, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've read a bit more of Team SmackDown (it is tough). I'm not in favour of doing like here, and listing every match between a RAW guy and a SmackDown guy, or implying that the entire RAW brand is known as "Team RAW", year-round. Just tag team matches where the teams are billed as such. Or where there's an explicitly acknowledged "team leader" who faces the other leader in a singles match for some sort of "bragging rights".

Delete per LordMaldad2000. This isn't a team, it0s a series of weekly matches without a common storyline or connection. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 20:29, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
