The information contained within the page currently is an unreferenced, poorly formatted duplicate of information found at Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Olympics that does not infact list personal bests as the name suggests. Even if the page was adapted to give the information suggested by the title it would be a clear example of recentism. - Basement12 (T.C) 21:52, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. As a list, "personal bests" is not notable. Instead, list the personal bests in the articles on each individual athlete. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 22:00, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, redundant. --Tone 22:03, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete, every strong criterion for it to be deleted has already been stated. Xeltran (talk) 13:13, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Fails WP:NOT. --Madchester (talk) 14:33, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Per WP:Recentism, this article will have no long-term historical perspective. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 15:33, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge into United Kingdom at the 2008 Summer Olympics and the articles on the individual articles. It would be stupid to just delete the information, which is notable, but the article is a bit too specific. Bart133 t c @ How's my driving? 22:58, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
