An article about one division in the NFL information can be founed on the main NFL page, Smith03 14:23, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• Keep even if content is entirely duplicated, it is easier to find in its own article rather than redirecting it. It could do with a list of winners though. Dunc_Harris|☺ 16:45, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• Keep. RickK 19:39, Jul 25, 2004 (UTC)
• Either keep or redirect, but should not be deleted. Arevich 21:33, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Merge into American Football Conference? -- Cyrius|✎ 22:51, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Proposed merge with AFC Central 1970-2001

While this division doesn't exist anymore it does have a history as shown on AFC Central 1970-2001 which seems encyclopedic. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:27, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

@Smjg: This is a legitimate merge proposal. I understand this page is currently a redirect but I am suggesting it should be an article instead. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 23:01, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

@Barkeep49: Merge means to combine two things into one. We can't combine a redirect and an article into a single entity. Changing a redirect into an article does not constitute merging. Are you wanting to move AFC Central 1970-2001 to this title, or to write a whole new article about AFC Central? — Smjg (talk) 23:34, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

@Smjg: The content from AFC Central 1970-2001 should be moved here. Given that this is an article, albeit a redirect, I thought doing so with discussion before doing the move (and histmerg) was proper. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 23:40, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose. The information on this page is already covered on the AFC North page in full, as the AFC North is recognized by all competent authorities on the subject, including the league itself, as a continuation of the AFC Central (same with the NFC North as a continuation of the NFC Central). This article, whose title is completely out of line with the titling policy, should be completely and speedily deleted as a redundant article (WP:A10) whose title is not an acceptable redirect. oknazevad (talk) 01:08, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Just to clarify, the plain AFC Central redirect should remain as it has been. The newly created article should be deleted. oknazevad (talk) 01:11, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
