[edit] 2007 ATP Masters Series

2007 ATP Masters Series (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

The article is superfluous in MPOV. The great original ATP Masters Series article contains all the relevant information on the subject, the detailed score of AMS finals. The semifinals and below results interests only few people, I think, mostly fans, who can find that info on the official pages that can be reached via the links in the main article. Moreover there are no such articles for 2006, 2005 etc and it does not seem that there is a need for them. Scineram 20:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete for reasons above, and it also concerns a future event for which little valuable information is yet available. Dar-Ape 21:16, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep The main article at ATP Masters Series has indeed all the finals of the tournaments through the years mentioned, although from the earlier years only the winners. The information is not superfluous, it's just expanded, just like what happens all over Wikipedia as more people get involved and current events are more in the picture. What makes you think only fans are interested in that information? The fact that there are no such articles in previous years is no reason to delete these, after all, they can and maybe should be created to prevent the main article to become too big in the future, just like what's done in other sports and other happenings all over Wikipedia. Also the fact that this is still a future event does not mean anything to me, this is happening in March already and there are many articles on events available already which start later than these events.

• Keep. If listed on the main page, the year-by-year history would soon overwhelm the rest of the article. Keep individual seasons in their own articles. Neier 00:58, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Yes, a link from the main article should indeed be included. SportsAddicted | discuss 01:53, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, a link from the main article should indeed be included.alsookayy

• Keep - that previous year's articles do not exist is no reason to delete this one. A notable series of events, with easily-verified information, and certain to take place. Eludium-q36 18:22, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

• As of now, the article contains information that would be included in the same format in 2007 ATP Tour. Unless expanded any further, I move to Delete.--Nitsansh 22:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • It was the idea to also add a summary on every tournament to mention news in the earlier stages as well as other notibilities, which is unlikely to happen at the 2007 ATP Tour article. SportsAddicted | discuss 02:12, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
    • At the time being, the article has no use, because the first Masters Series tournaments isn't until March. I suggest that this discussion should be halted until we can see what "beef" is going to be filled in.--Nitsansh 04:26, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
• Per Nitsansh, delete, protect and then recreate in March. -Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 12:10, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Protect? For what? If the result is temporary deletion, I'm not going to recreate it before March. SportsAddicted | discuss 13:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
