The result was Speedy merge and redirect. A merger discussion in May 2011 found consensus to merge and redirect this article to 1983 America's Cup, but the merger was never implemented. This discussion was heading in that same direction. I have merged relevant content from this article into the redirect target. What was needed here was implementation of the consensus, not further discussion of what to do. Orlady (talk) 14:45, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The name is a lament rather than a name for a WP article. It is not the name of a book or any other work. The tone is unbecoming of WP. It has been slated for merging since 2011 but nothing has happened. A redirect is not needed. Some content may be able to be salvaged. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 06:51, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete any content of note should be transferred to the main article. If I was cheeky I might suggest it was written by Dennis or the NYYC ;). 29 years is a long time lads. NealeFamily (talk) 11:56, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
