Deletion of Curse of Norm Smith

Comment: I have a problem with the merge idea, as the article on a legend of the game (he elevated to legend status in the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2007) should not include a list of "appearances of the curse", ie times in the past 50 years when Melbourne has failed.  It should only include what it currently has, a mention (and link) of it in the section on Smith getting the sack (what caused the "curse" to be imposed).  The inclusion in the category of :Category:Sports-related curses will also be lost in a merge.  Of course curse articles are prone to , but that should be dealt with within the article with {{fact}} tags, not by deletion
