Grand Slam (UEFA)[edit]

The contents of this page has no relationship to reality. No such 'competition' or otherwise exists. Bornintheguz 23:37, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. This term is widely attested to (for instance here). Apparently not a competition (the article does not claim such), but instead a designation, like "Triple Crown" for winners of three important horse races in the U.S.A. HyperZonktalk 18:01, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep because it's useful information. It's actually very hard to find references to this particular variety of "grand slam" though. Kappa 00:28, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, Rename as it's not a Grand Slam. The term 'Grand Slam' is used in sports, when referring to winning all possible matches in one season or holding all titles at once, but this page is claiming that it is used to describe having won different competitions at different times in history, which is not the same. There's no official use of the phrase by UEFA, and a Google search [1] doesn't return any results on the 1st page where "grand slam" directly refers to winning UEFA tournaments.

    • On reflection, the information there is useful and notable, so I wouldn't delete, but perhaps it should be moved to a more correct title. Qwghlm 16:09, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
