2014 FIFA World Cup Third Place Play-Off

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Traditionally there is no any third place play-off article, unless the match itself is worthy. Raymond "Giggs" Ko 06:19, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Not enough notable for a separate article. -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 06:53, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. – PeeJay 08:36, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete this article isn't about a memorable game. – User:AhMeD BoSS 10:38, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't care for tradition, but it's no problem recreating this if something sufficiently notable happens, which is not automatic. Hekerui (talk) 12:05, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. -- Edgars2007  (talk/contribs) 12:17, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 18:49, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as no evidence of any notability. – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  22:48, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2014 FIFA World Cup knockout stage, per nom and Vigyani: not notable (see also WP:CRYSTAL). In case of significant events (maybe due to the aftermath of Mineirazo, but is only a personal hypothesis) it could be recreated as article. --Dэя-Бøяg 23:12, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I change my vote into neutral after the end of the match. Maybe, as supposed above, could make sense as article. But by now the article lacks of further infos. --Dэя-Бøяg 00:36, 13 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Redirect per DerBorg. – filelakeshoe (t / c) &#xF0F6;  12:23, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, not necessary SOXROX (talk) 02:29, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - "Traditionally" is not a reason for deletion (see Wikipedia:Other stuff exists) and there are a few other arguments from Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions listed here. The only criteria is "does the article have sufficient sources to support notability?" and it currently does not, but it will in just over 48 hours. We simply need to supply the sources and the article meets notability guidelines. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:44, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete As of now, the article is merely receiving WP:ROUTINE coverage. Does not meet WP:GNG. — X96lee15 (talk) 11:41, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Walter, you could argue that every one of the 64 games is notable due to the extensive coverage of the Cup in general, but there is absolutely no reason to do so because they are already well covered in the tournament, group, and knockout stage articles. There is no evidence this game in particular is notable, and even if, all important information belongs in the main knockout stage article. Reywas92 Talk 14:33, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete No notability in itself, whereas finals do for obvious reasons. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 14:40, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * DeleteThe match is already displayed on the knockout phase page of the tournament and has all the details that are important. A full article is needed for noticeable matches like the Final or the great win by Germany as it was historically. Just creating this page because it's a third place match between hosts Brazil vs. Netherlands makes no sense at all. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 22:13, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Supplement Well, after the third-place play-off match complete, the only point which is notable is Brazil lost totally ten goals in the last two matches, which could be seen as the 5-time World Champions starts going to the Dark Age, and nothing at all. Raymond "Giggs" Ko 17:53, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect per DerBorg. Not notable to have its own article, and has not yet even happened. If after the match finalized there is notability, can always be re-created. Regards, DPdH (talk) 14:57, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable enough for its own article. -- Kndimov (talk) 23:32, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2014 FIFA World Cup knockout stage. Not notable enough for its own article. Davykamanzi → talk • contribs • alter ego 12:25, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
