2006 Chicago Bears–Arizona Cardinals game


Delete As nom ,You can't have articles for every NFL game. Hundreds of NFL games could get an article where does it end? This is dumb. Delete this. WP:Trivial. You don't need a whole article for this.Josdsioisdome (talk) 15:37, 13 October 2016 (UTC) — Josdsioisdome (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete There are hundreds of NFL games where crazy things happen you can't have articles for all of them. This doesn't belong as it's own article ElbeParsley (talk) 15:42, 13 October 2016 (UTC)  — ElbeParsley (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 *  Undecided Keep – Being the creator of this article (four years ago), I'm on the fence about it. I'm not going to say to delete it because other games with crazy moments don't have pages (partially because of WP:OTHERCRAP: just because other games don't have pages doesn't mean this one shouldn't), but I'm not too sure regardless. As big of a game as it was, it doesn't really have any major impact on the teams' seasons like The Comeback playoff game. On the other hand, per WP:SPORTSEVENT, individual games can have articles if they're mentioned outside of routine coverage (like the typical recaps posted in the week after). In this game's case, there's articles like this one from ChicagoBears.com, this article about Hester's punt return touchdown and this article after Dennis Green's death, all of which were posted years later, which seem to suggest it still has a resounding memory. Simply put, a game with one of the largest comebacks, one of the top defensive performances (and one of the worse offensive performances) and a coaching tirade all in one is bound to be a memorable one for years to come. However, say this article does get deleted, it's definitely reasonable to merge the content accordingly with the two teams' season articles and any key players' pages.

 * Speedy keep as bad faith nomination. The AfD was done two minutes after the nominator started their editing career here. Coincidentally, the next delete vote after that was made by a person who just began his editing career, and voted two minutes after they began editing. There are multiple, independent, reliable sources attesting to this game being one of the biggest comebacks in NFL history. Multiple NFL records were set in this game. This is a clear, unequivocal, blatant pass of WP:GNG. --Hammersoft (talk) 00:54, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - This article has more than enough sources and substance to meet WP:N. The article discusses the context and aftermath of the game in detail as well. There are multiple other sources that state this game and its aftermath are noteworthy and memorable - See: Ranked 6th on NFL.com's Greatest Comebacks of  All-Time, Ranked by Yahoo! Sports as one of the Greatest comebacks of the 00's, Sports Illustrated's Epic Chicago Bears Moments, Arizona Sports 98.7FM's 5th greatest Moment at University of Phoenix Stadium, Article from AZ Cardinals' homepage claiming the game as the bears most important victory of the 2006 season. --   StarScream1007  ►Talk  01:20, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Actually, we can have articles for every game where something crazy happened. As long as there are sources to support them, which this article has an abundance of. Dennis Green's rant compounds this game's notability. Lizard  (talk) 00:26, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
