2020 XFL Championship Game

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Championship game that was scheduled to happen but won't happen now, can easily merge material into 2020 XFL season. Not notable as a stand-alone article.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  17:24, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment. This AfD raises a broader issue as to how we will handle events likely to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. E.g., 2020 NCAA National Collegiate Women's Ice Hockey Tournament, 2020 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, 2020 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament, 2020 NCAA Division I Softball Tournament, and probably dozens more.

 * I see that 2020 NBA Finals and 2020 Stanley Cup Finals have been turned into redirects. This seems like a sensible solution. Cbl62 (talk) 17:42, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I think at least the men's basketball tournament would still be notable as a stand-alone article since it received significant coverage before and during the pandemic. The 2020 XFL Championship Game has not received much coverage and likely will not receive more.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  17:45, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to 2020 XFL season per precedents at 2020 NBA Finals and 2020 Stanley Cup Finals. Cbl62 (talk) 18:45, 10 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Redirect to 2020 XFL season as only the game's location had been set at the time of the cancellation. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 17:55, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2020 XFL season per prior AfD precedent. Ejgreen77 (talk) 20:20, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2020 XFL season per precedents and above votes. PCN02WPS  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 21:30, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above per Ejgreen77's mention of past precedent involving the AAF., this precedent has nothing to do with the NCAA article; for most of them just mentioning the reason for their cancellations in a short stub article is perfectly acceptable as they had regular season play/partial conference tournament play, along with mentions of the aborted host cities/venues.

 * While NCAA men's basketball tournament may be different, since it was imminent when the quarantine was imposed, and its cancellation generated substantial media coverage, it seems to me that redirects are the logical result for most other situations referenced above including the following logical redirects:
 * 2020 NCAA Division I Softball Tournament ---> 2020 NCAA Division I softball season
 * 2020 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament ---> 2020 NCAA Division I baseball season
 * That's my opinion, though this AfD concerns on the XFL. Cbl62 (talk) 19:53, 11 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Redirect to 2020 XFL season agreeing with others opinions stated above. J cool bro   (talk) 18:22, 12 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I agree that redirect is the right approach here. It made sense at the time it was created, but now it will make Wikipedia better to re-direct/merge articles.  Need a policy?  Ignore all rules fits if necessary. This one just makes sense.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:07, 13 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Redirect per above. TheTVExpert (talk) 23:35, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think I've ever typed the words Snow redirect before, but there they are. L EPRICAVARK ( talk ) 18:44, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
