This is purely WP:NOTNEWS, just because a coach makes an obvious mistake that basically cost his team the game it doesn't mean the game is notable enough for an article. Giants 27  ( Contribs  |  WP:CFL ) 23:48, 30 November 2009 (UTC)


 * merge into Colts–Patriots rivalry. While the play was a big blip in that rivalry, it probably doesn't deserve an article all on its own. I think however, it would fit nicely in the article on the rivalry itself. Umbralcorax (talk) 00:28, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * strong keep- one of the most talked about NFL regular season calls of all time and by far of this season. However, maybe the article should be on the game like the 2007 pats-giants regular season one.--Levineps (talk) 00:56, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete because WP:NOTNEWS. Obviously a stupid play is going to generate a bunch of news immediately; most of the time it is then promptly forgotten. If we find that in a few years people are still talking about it, then we have some notability. I also have a problem with the naming: "4th and 2" is something that happens pretty frequently. WHat are we going to do, name it 4th and 2 (stupid play)? Mangoe (talk) 13:44, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Merge to Colts-Patriots rivalry. Stupid perhaps, but not encyclopedically (is that a word?) notable.  Grsz 11  20:07, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into Colts-Patriots rivalry.  Eagles   24/7   (C)  20:57, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to the rivalry article and mention it in 2009 New England Patriots season too. Mandsford (talk) 21:02, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Why? How about 4th and 26, it has its own article, so why not for 4th and 2? Talladega87 (talk) 19:06, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * That one was subject to AFD as well, and survived marginally. In any case it was written two years after the game in which the play occurred, ample time for it to prove its notability. Eventually this play could prove itself too. Mangoe (talk) 19:21, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I see no point in deleting this since anyone who follows the NFL will remember this for a long time.
 * That doesn't mean it shouldn't be deleted.-- Giants 27  ( Contribs  |  WP:CFL ) 16:04, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
