List of arrested Bengals[edit]

This article has no point. It is simply here to poke fun at the Bengals. That makes this article content not suitable for an encyclopedia and thus not suitable for Wikipedia. Cincydude55 04:44, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Not in the scope of an encyclopedia. The list with its notes seems to be a copyright violation of this list. Tim Q. Wells 06:06, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Transwikied to a more appropriate wiki: http://sportsargumentwiki.com/index.php?title=List_of_Arrested_Cincinnati_Bengals --Korranus 06:44, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's a copyright violation. Unless you pointed to this article, which is about to be deleted. And even so, their licensing is Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5., not GFDL. Corvus cornix 06:50, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • You don't need to point to our article. The GFDL only requires that the five most significant editors be listed, and that the copy be licensed under the GFDL. --Carnildo 07:33, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • None of that was done. Corvus cornix 07:34, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, I can't do anything about it now. Feel free to contact their admin. --Korranus 07:41, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Unclear on copyvio or attack, so I'm not going to go speedy, but the list really doesn't seem to serve a purpose other than...well, making a list of sports players for a particular NFL team that have been arrested. I mean, why? --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 07:25, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I didn't mean that this article is a copyvio, I meant copying it to sporstargumentwiki.com is a copyvio. Corvus cornix 07:27, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment When I saw the article's title, I thought it was an attack page against people from Bangladesh :-) Nyttend 12:51, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Wouldn't the 'List of non-arrested Bengals' be shorter? :) DarkAudit 13:36, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete obviously. There is no encyclopaedic subject for members of this arbitrarily chosen team who have been arrested, and of course it also violates WP:BLP, WP:UNDUE and probably several other policies. Guy (Help!) 14:11, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete Attack page.Blueboy96 16:07, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Arrests are a matter of public record. While I may (and do) believe this article should be deleted, let's not characterize it as somthing it's not. /Blaxthos 16:40, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Concur with nomination. This is not at all encyclopedic. Montco 17:03, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Pavel Vozenilek 22:45, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Chris Henry (wide receiver) (sorry, I couldn't resist :)) DarkAudit 22:50, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete as attack page, so tagged. Obviously nothing to keep here. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 23:39, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, this should be only in the team's page or preferably only in the player's article--JForget 01:57, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete not an attack article, the arrests are part of the public record and the number of Bengals arrested has been commented upon by a number of sports columnists. That doesn't mean this is an encyclopedic subject, though. --Akhilleus (talk) 04:55, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Non-encyclopedic. If kept, change title immediately to List of arrested Cincinnati Bengals per WP:BIAS. Bengal is an extremely heavily populated region of south Asia, and "the Bengals" is sometimes used to refer collectively to the nation of Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal, which together have a population of over 230,000,000 people. I would say the homelands of a quarter of a billion people are somewhat more notable than some American sports team. --Charlene 09:39, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lists-related deletions. -- Pax:Vobiscum 15:24, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment-Just so you know the "Bengal" in Cincinnati Bengals refers to a bengal tiger.--Cincydude55 19:02, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• • Comment Which is in turn named after Bengal. --Charlene 17:12, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment-I only said that because many people were getting confused with the ethnic group and the animal.--Cincydude55 17:17, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge-This is probably not worth its own page, rather it should be transferred over to the regular Cincinnati Bengals' page.
• Delete unless you can write on article on Bengali peoples predisposition to getting arrested. Bulldog123 02:45, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
