2023 Leagues Cup knockout stage

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

There doesn't seem to be a good reason for this article to exist as more than a section in 2023 Leagues Cup (which already exists, so the result should not be merge), and it doesn't seem like similar pages have existed or been needed for previous Leagues Cups. There's no sign that this is notable enough to warrant its own article. – Popo   Dameron   talk  04:30, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:SPINOFF as a legitimate content fork. It might be a little premature, but there is a reason other tournaments such as the UEFA Champions League have similar articles: to flesh out the details that would be unnecessary on the page of the main tournament, but can still provide content of encyclopedic value. And there is an obvious reason this hasn't been done for past editions: because this is the first tournament to include every team from MLS and Liga MX. It is a VERY different case when you have a simple knockout round of 8 teams and group stage + knockout round of 47 teams. Also, worth noting that this was nominated for deletion literally 15 minutes after its creation. Gotta give folks a little time to flesh out the article. Jay eyem (talk) 05:07, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I hadn't realised somehow just that the article was that new, so you're right that I should have given it more time. It didn't seem like there was anything in this spinoff that wasn't in the main article, but now considering how new it is, I will happily withdraw my nomination. – Popo   Dameron   talk  05:46, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
