The result was keep. Long-established consensus is that the final match of a major national cup tournament is notable. No point in dwelling on this one since there is not a snowball's chance of the page being deleted. TerriersFan (talk) 02:30, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Single final match like every year; no significant feature Invitamia (talk) 18:36, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Obvious keep per, its the highest national cup final, which there's a pitty strong consensus for notability, see other finals from this year 2009 FA Cup Final (Category:FA Cup Finals), 2009 Scottish League Cup Final, 2009 Football League Cup Final, Coupe de France Final 2009, 2008 Scottish Challenge Cup Final, 2009 Scottish Cup Final (2008 DFB-Pokal Final, 2008 Coppa Italia Final, 2008 Norwegian Football Cup Final, some of least years final)... These are just some other finals. chandler ··· 18:40, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Consensus is that a cup final is notable. Stu.W UK (talk) 18:47, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, clearly notable match with a major trophy and a European place at stake. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 18:59, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep You're joking, right? Lots of these notable finals are up here, and for good reason, as they usually have secondary consequences, like Europa League or Champions' League spots on the line. -- Blue Squadron  Raven  19:05, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - The person who tagged this must be having a laugh and is wasting everybody's time. Clearly as one of the major leagues in Europe, the Italian cup should be treated just as the English cup is. --Simonski (talk) 19:56, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - a clearly notable tournament. GiantSnowman 20:21, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - This is the easiest decision I've had to make all day. Is the final of Europe's third-best football nation's cup competition notable? Errrr, yes! – PeeJay 20:25, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect - In my opinion, the Italian cup lacks the notability for a separate article about its final. Relevant information should be merged with Coppa Italia 2008–09 and the article redirected to there! John Sloan @ 00:38, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Major final in a major footballing country. We even have a couple of featured articles about specific national cup finals. Oldelpaso (talk) 09:11, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - Let's see: Italy is one of the biggest footballing nations in Europe. They have a cup competition. The winners goes into the Europa League next year. I'd say that makes it pretty notable. (As does the existence of pages for the cup competitions in, for example, England, Scotland, France, Germany and Spain.)
