Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2006 Winter Olympics highlights
per comments made on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Olympics.  I have been working on Olympics articles since day one of becoming a user, and have written thousands of them.  I have yet to see '''any''' compelling reason for presenting Olympic results on a per-day basis.  We already have a main article for each Games (2006 Winter Olympics, and in good summary style, we have per-sport articles (e.g. Alpine skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics) and per-nation articles (e.g. Norway at the 2006 Winter Olympics), and even per-event articles when the per-sport articles would be too big (e.g. Alpine skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics - Men's downhill).  Do we ''really'' need yet another, redundant, way of browsing this content?  This article was originally created around the time of those Games, so I would say it is a case of ecentism.  As a long time and prolific editor for the Olympics WikiProject, I can say that every 2 or 4 years we get a huge boatload of new editors coming along to work on Olympic articles, with lots of good-faith ideas of what more they can add, but then they move on to the next flavor of the month after the Games conclude.  This article is a great example of that.  Is there really any ''long-term historical perspective'' to be gained from a per-day organization of material that is already present on the per-sport and/or per-nation articles, or on the main article itself?  I don't think so
