Alex Ferguson Testimonial

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Contested PROD. PROD was removed without reasoning. Original reason for PROD was "this is not a notable football match". – PeeJay 06:59, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Appears to fail WP:EVENT. I can see a lot of news articles about the match, but the coverage is transitory and it appears to have had no lasting impact.--Mkativerata (talk) 08:14, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete One football match, with nothing whatsoever in the article to indicate anything special about it, no sources given, and only minor coverage found on searching. JamesBWatson (talk)
 * Merge and Redirect - to Alex Ferguson, the match happened, but I agree it is not notable for it's own article however it is worthy of a brief mention in his article. Codf1977 (talk) 16:39, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * There is indeed a mention of the testimonial match at Alex Ferguson. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:19, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Opps - must have miss typed 'Testimonial' into the find box when at that page - simple redirect then. Codf1977 (talk) 12:23, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The mention was only just added before JamesBWatson left that message. – PeeJay 19:58, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I meant to write "There is now indeed a mention of the testimonial match.." and missed the word "now": sorry. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:23, 4 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete non notable in the scheme of things, already mentioned on Ferguson's page. Only reason I could think to redirect rather than delete is to prevent recreation, but I think it implausible someone would type in Alex Ferguson Testimonial without having gone to Alex Ferguson first.-- Club Oranje T 06:05, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree. I don't see any need for a redirect. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:23, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Delete - The subject is sufficiently covered at Alex Ferguson and isn't sufficiently notable to merit an article of its own. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:45, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
