2010 Fountain City Classic

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Utterly routine, fails GNG / WP:NSPORTSEVENT. The game ended a 6-game win streak in a rivalry and decided a conference championship, with neither team having a significant post-season (2010 NCAA Division II football season). UW Dawgs (talk) 01:55, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Preliminary comments lots of valid choices with this one. Unlike the discussion at Articles for deletion/2012 Texas A&M vs. Alabama football game, this article has two sources and at least one of them has commentary to go with it; but one of them doesn't appear to be independent.  The other wouldn't load on my machine right now so I'm reserving comment.  However, it does look like there is enough published data to avoid the WP:OR dangers.  Next--WP:IMPACT -- the game does appear to be part of a series Fountain City Classic which appears to be a historic one.  As to the "routine" argument, this article shows greater coverage to pass the WP:ROUTIUNE threshold.  More reviews to come.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:58, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Merge content to Fountain City Classic. it's the only "game" article that I can find, and the content can help make the master article a little better.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:56, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 02:10, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. The established editorial practice among college football editors is to favor season articles and to disfavor articles about individual games. Regular season games do not warrant stand-alone articles unless there is something truly historic, which does not appear to be the case here with this regular season Division II game. Compare WikiProject College football/Notability. Cbl62 (talk) 13:51, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
