Christmas 1915 Football Game

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  AfD statistics)

There are many reports of football games taking place during unofficial truces between opposing forces in World War 2. These are broadly covered in the Christmas truce article. Zestos (talk) 16:47, 11 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge to Christmas truce. Note that this was World War 1 not 2. :-) Northwestgnome (talk) 17:14, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Ahh... My mistake. I can't believe I made such a stupid mistake =P Zestos (talk) 17:46, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

I think this article is separate and specific enough to qualify for its own page, or at least an expansion on the Christmas Truce page. Sockr44e 23:54, 11 December 2009

 * Merge to Christmas truce; Northwestgnome is spot-on with his suggestion - this topic deserves a mention on Wikipedia but NOT as a seperate article. GiantSnowman 19:28, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge per Giant Snowman and Northwestgnome. Should have a mention, but not notable enough for its own article. Dana boomer (talk) 02:13, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

OK. It looks like merging is the way to go. Any suggestions on how much of the information from the Football Game article should be put into the truce article? How should we do this? A seperate heading? Or add it to the 'British–German truce' section? Zestos (talk) 00:22, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
