2010 Philadelphia Eagles–Washington Redskins game

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Significant routine coverage exists, as it would for any NFL game, but this individual game is not notable. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:53, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - agree with nom, routine coverage about another game, albeit high-scoring. Add to that it's not the only game to be called the "Monday Night Massacre", and no long-lasting coverage of the game, fails WP:GNG. Onel 5969  TT me 18:00, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ROUTINE. 59 points is a lot but not a record. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:26, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete run-of-the-mill blowout game. These happen several times every year and there is no WP:SIGCOV that would make this particular game more notable than others.  Frank   Anchor  18:52, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing notable about this game. We don't need individual articles for every single NFL outing. Ajf773 (talk) 20:47, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - I would big the differ on this one, this particular game is still widely talked about in NFL circles due to Michael Vick's six total touchdowns and Washington's poor performance. 59 set a Monday Night Football record for most points scored in a single game by one team, a record that still stands today. Just something for your consideration. Jimania16 (talk) 21:06, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Regarding the 6 touchdown point, if you check out this link, you'll see that 8 players have passed for more touchdowns in a single game. This makes Vick's performance tied for the 9th most passing touchdowns in a game, tied with 39 other games in which players have passed for 6 touchdowns.
 * As for 59 points, this would only be a record for a Monday night game, of which there are obviously much fewer. There have 20 games in which a team has scored more than 59 points based on this link.
 * Based on the scorigami website, which is not a perfect source, there have been 27 games in which a team has scored 59 or more points while the opposing team has scored 21 or fewer points, making them larger blowouts with worse defensive performances than mentioned.
 * I say this only to reflect the data and why I don't see this game as notable. Hey man im josh (talk) 21:54, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. Well I was able to find this article in 2019 about the game from USA Today and this from The Athletic in 2020, but that's about it besides coverage from when the game happened. There's also about a page on it in The Eagles Encyclopedia: Champions Edition. Not looking like a GNG pass to me. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:02, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep If you search "Monday Night Massacre" on Google search engine, the top results include Eagles vs. Redskins - Game Summary - November 15, 2010 (ESPN) as well as numerous highlight videos from the game, including the one I attached as an external link on the article. There are numerous references made to the "Monday Night Massacre" for this game by various media sources. If the name were changed to 'Monday Night Massacre (football)', would that change its terms for deletion? I particularly don't appreciate the delay in nominating this page for deletion after I created it months ago and it is just now being reviewed.--Vataxevader (talk) 13:59, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * If the name were changed to 'Monday Night Massacre (football)', would that change its terms for deletion?
 * That title would also be appropriate for the 2005 game with the same name at History of Monday Night Football. As I mentioned in a reply above, when you discount the day there's nothing about this game that stands out, so no, a name change would not change my mind. I can't say the same for others.

 * Cool then delete it idgaf Vataxevader (talk) 14:30, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, I could find no evidence of WP:SUSTAINED coverage from a search, the only things that show up are a bunch of highlight videos, which are primary sources and do not contribute to notability, and a couple game summaries from the time, which are simply routine coverage of the type that occurs to practically every professional sporting match.
