Talk:Matthew Scarlett's toepoke

Notability
I still have considerable doubts as to the notability of the subject of this article. Whilst I accept that there are plenty of coverage by independant sources, I'm not sure that that is enough. In the DYK discussion, you say that "We have oodles of articles on individual plays in American football". Can you point me at some? My sport is association football and I know absolutely nothing about any other code. In "Soccer" I'm not aware of any articles that relate to a specific piece of play, but I may be wrong. I also note that there is no mention of the "toepoke" in the article on the 2009 AFL Grand Final itself - if I'm reading this right, it merely mentions "a ball-winning play in the centre of the ground between Matthew Scarlett and Ablett following a Zac Dawson spoil".

 * To address your points in order:
 * I'm not sure what else you would need to be convinced. If you think it's strange and inappropriate for individual events in matches to be considered notable, then that's fair enough. The WP:GNG allows for editors to decide a topic is not notable despite meeting all the criteria, so if you are still unconvinced you can nominate the article for deletion and see what the community thinks. My own approach to notability is that I'm almost always satisfied when the sourcing criteria is met and I'd only use the get-out clause if the article fails some other policy like WP:NPOV.

 * Some examples of individual events in American Football matches include The_Block_(American_Football), The_Catch_(American_football) and the rather better sourced and written Immaculate_Reception.
 * Yes, that's the play. I have now linked it from the Grand Final article.

 * OK - not being a deletionist by nature, I'll withdraw my objection, especially as the article is well written and well sourced. Incidentally, there is a list of similar articles in the "See also" section of The Block (American Football) - the only "soccer" article is the "Hand of God" goal, which is now a re-direct. Cheers.

 * As a fan of the AFL I also share your reservations. I think that at best it should be a redirect to a paragraph in the 2009 AFL Grand Final article, as I don't think it has stand-alone notability outside of that one game. Will you write an article on Wayne Harmes slap back into play, Leo Barry's mark or Heath Shaw's smother on Reiwoldt too? The-Pope (talk) 09:43, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
