Old Puget Sound Beach

edit

User:Seattlesaracens has removed a considerable long section on the history of Old Puget Sound Beach (one of the more storied US rugby sides). I'm not saying this is entirely a bad thing, because that section wasn't the best ever written on Wikipedia. It wasn't sourced, and the tone—particularly an earlier revision—was chatty and anecdotal rather than encyclopedic. Still, I'm in favour of adapting and improving material, rather than cutting it altogether (assuming that there's any wheat amidst the chaff). Two issues: (1) The article as now revised gives very short shrift to Seattle Saracens' origins in OPSB, and (2) Wikipedia now has virtually nothing to say about OPSB, which is a problem because the link Old Puget Sound Beach now redirects to this article. Both of these issues could probably be solved by forking Old Puget Sound Beach off into a new article about the former team. (We have plenty of articles about defunct or superseded sports teams on Wikipedia—Chicago Shamrox and Arabian Gulf rugby union team spring to mind.) Q·L·1968 16:39, 15 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
