The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was delete where overarching article does not exist, redirect (allowing for merge) if it does. There is a slight consensus to delete here; there is a number of comments about merging the content, but as regards the Algeria article these talk about merging to an article that does not exist. Therefore, I have deleted the article, but if anyone would like the content from any of the deleted articles to attempt to create a notable article like the one discussed in the comments, please contact me or another admin. As the overarching article for the Netherlands (
Netherlands at the UCI Road World Championships) does exist, I have redirected there; the content is still in the history if anyone wants to merge it in.

Nations at the xxx pages are usually reserved for events with multiple sports or disciplines. This one focuses on just one sport. Also quoting Peter Rehse, from another similar AFD
[1], "they are all a rehash of a single source. National results for events that are borderline notable themselves. Even there there is nothing demonstrating that [the country] performed anywhere near notable."

Strong delete - it is an example of proliferation of sports statistics cruft that's best left for dedicated databases.

Delete, as stated, these articles are a considerably different case than X at the Olympics. --Tone 09:27, 29 December 2016 (UTC)reply
Merge. While I generally agree with arguments in favor of delete, I feel the best solution would be to merge the per-country-per-year articles into per-country articles (
Algeria at the UCI Road World Championships, etc.).

Delete per nom. Consider merging to per-country articles only if there are viable significant non-stats content (e.g. historical/social/cultural details) worthy of mention. --

Merge as per GregorB, standardise to [Country] at [Competition], this is also something I brought up at

Merge - Each country's total statistics at specified competitions. No need to have an article for each separate year.

Delete. Routine coverage of a particular country's participation in an event, therefore not notable.

Merge - Into
Algeria at the UCI Road World Championships, similar to
User:GregorB's suggestion above. To me, the gold standard for the various year/country UCI Road World Championships articles is
Italy at the UCI Road World Championships. Italy has won the most medals, and that tally is succinctly showcased in that article. It covers all the years in one place. I've also noticed that of the various articles flagged for deletion, Algeria's cannot claim any medal finishes at all. Their participation in the event is borderline notable, and at the very least not deserving of a granular year by year tally of their unsuccessful participation. Absent any medals, the merged article could perhaps recount the closest finishes they had, and perhaps also have a running tally of participants by year. Others more familiar with the cultural significance of this race might have additional ideas for substance.
