Beytar Jerusalem v HaPo'el Petakh Tikva (2006/2007 season)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

In the name of those who thought and think that the article "Beytar Jerusalem v HaPo'el Petakh Tikva (2006/2007 season)" does not deserve to be in the English Wikipedia, I, the creator of that article, offering you these possibilities: to delete this article, so that there won't be any reference in the English Wikipedia to the bedlam that occurred after the end of this game, a bedlam that aroused great interest and great outrage; to keep this article, so that this "end-of-season-pitch-invasion" will have its own coverage in its own article; or to keep the information included in the article in the English Wikipedia, but as part of another article or articles.Es257


 * Delete It could be added to the Beitar Jerusalem page. It is not worthy enough for its own article as it is not as big of a tragedy as say, Hillsborough. -NYC2TLV 03:48, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep or Merge —  You have what appear to be acceptable sources so you meet that criteria. But I'm not convinced that the event is notable outside of Jerusalem. The fact that no one died is good but probably limits notability. On the other hand, 50 injured is significant. I think merger is probably best but I would not be offended to keep it.

 * Neutral as I don't understand why football fans think every riot deserves a Wikipedia article, but some editors seem to think these events are notable. If the article is kept it needs significant work to conform to basic English structure.  It is written in present tense, which is inappropriate for an encyclopedic article. --Nonstopdrivel 13:39, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge portions to Beytar Jerusalem or delete. We learn that Israeli soccer fans occasionally run amuck, as do their counterparts elsewhere.  - Smerdis of Tlön 14:28, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge I notice that the Israel/Palestine section of Football hooliganism is labelled as a stub. Some of the material could go in there with a pointer to the teams articles for mroe details.--Peter cohen 15:51, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This article is about what would be a quieter than average Saturday night in my town. It is also a very local article in its style, not even identifying the sport of which a game was being played. Edison 16:39, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into main team article, with the basic details being added with source into Football hooliganism as per Peter cohen's suggestion. ♦Tangerines BFC ♦ · Talk 23:21, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - does not deserve own article - should be part of main article on Beitar Jerusalem or Teddy Kollek Stadium. Number   5  7  18:29, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I am going with delete, I don't think it is that important in either clubs history. Govvy 11:08, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
