2019 Australian Open – Men's singles final

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD, none of the coverage of the 2019 Australian Open gave anything more than WP:ROUTINE coverage to this match. Don't believe there is anything here that can be merged in to parent articles. Iffy★Chat -- 13:10, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep the article certainly needs improvement, but calling all of the coverage of one of the two main matches of tennis' biggest tournament WP:ROUTINE? My first impression of this AfD is that it was a joke. See:  , et cetera. SportingFlyer  T · C  20:21, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge to 2019 Australian Open – Men's Singles. This article just serves as a content fork. It is not common practice to have articles dedicated to tennis finals, even for Grand Slam tournaments. Ajf773 (talk) 20:45, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep as has plenty of non routine coverage as shown by Sporting Flyer. There are a number of similar articles on finals matches as shown in this category Category:Tennis matches, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 21:38, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge Just because an article can exist separately does not mean it should. No reason it cannot be merged to 2019 Australian Open – Men's Singles. Notability is only based on it being part of that tournament. Reywas92Talk 23:58, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge. Djokovic beat Nadal in straight sets, so the match doesn't warrant a separate article, unlike their 2012 classic. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:53, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep please see also 2013 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles final. This article should be expanded.--Chinyen Lu (talk) 03:59, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment The 2013 Champiosnship is their because of history being created because of Andy Murray. This is a different kettle of fish. Not Homura (talk) 06:13, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge or Keep This article on first glance does not need a standalone article, but despite the straight sets, if the article is improved then I would favor a keep. As it is now, merging is better Garlicolive (talk) 19:03, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge This final wasn't a classic and wasn't an history defining final compared to some of the other ones that do have articles on here. I personally that it should merge into the 2019 Australian Open – Men's Singles. Not Homura (talk) 06:28, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
