Talk:2015 Cowboys–Packers officiating controversy

Recentism
Although I was not the one who originally tagged it as such, as it stands, this stand-alone article appears to be WP:RECENTISM and WP:NOTNEWS. Unless there is a rule change in the offseason or future long-term "NFL lore" significance (such as "Fail Mary", which led to a resolution in the referee labor dispute), we might have to think about in the future about doing a WP:10 year test-type cleanup and merge this into the corresponding NFL referee article (Gene Steratore) and/or 2014-15 NFL playoffs. Per WP:GNG, "if a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list" (emphasis added). Consensus may later determine that it does indeed violate WP:NOTNEWS. Stripping all the reactions and news reports, the gist of this stand-alone article could easily be merged into Gene Steratore and/or 2014-15 NFL playoffs Zzyzx11 (talk) 10:29, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
