2012 Summer of Champions' Cup

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Procedural AfD. User:ItsKesha has PRODed the article twice and tagged it as WP:A7 twice.

The article is about a one-off pre-season friendly match. The best sources that I can find on the match are Digisport and Goal. The ESPN source in the article is actually very brief.

I am neutral for now; I can see both sides of the argument. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 23:23, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

It's worth noting that the match is already covered at 2012–13 FC Dinamo București season and 2012–13 FC Barcelona season. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 23:28, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. No lasting notability for either team. Fails basic WP:SPORTSEVENT. Friendlies would not count for items 1 to 3, and item 4 states A game that is widely considered by independent reliable sources to be notable, outside routine coverage of each game but all that exists is routine coverage, less than traditional league or cup games played in the main season. To that end, an additional statement is added under SPORTSEVENT Regular season games in professional and college leagues are not inherently notable. If a regular season game is not inherently notable, I struggle to see how a friendly is. Koncorde (talk) 01:03, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete we don't need an individual article on a single pre-season match. Covered adequately elsewhere. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:11, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - these kind of pre-season friendlies are not notable, and this is no exception. GiantSnowman 11:02, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete – Routine coverage only, not at all notable. For some reason we have a slew of articles on these sort of inconsequential tournaments, purely because they have a contrived name and trophy attached, when really they are just glorified warmup matches. I hope there can be a trend towards getting rid of the lot. Jellyman (talk) 17:18, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete this only really needs to be noted on each clubs 2012 season article, there clearly wasn't enough coverage for it's own article. Govvy (talk) 17:19, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete as per my original nomination of failing WP:GNG, thanks to for beginning the process. ItsKesha (talk) 13:16, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete As per all failing WP:GNG. Ambrosiawater (talk) 09:33, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: not enough coverage to pass general notability guidelines. Fails GNG. TheDreamBoat (talk) 11:02, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -- Devoke  water  19:29, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
