Dreamtime at the 'G

'''Subject is non-notable, has no significant coverage by independent sources, fails WP:GNG and WP:EVENT. It is a regular fixture with a marketing gimmick that also fails WP:NRIVALRY.''' Macktheknifeau (talk) 18:00, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Deletion Reasoning: This article has 13 references. 10 are from the AFL or the clubs themselves and are marketing spam. They are not independent. One ABC article is stub-length and is about one player making their debut for their club in one of the matches that make up this non-notable event. The second ABC article is merely a report on one of the matches. One article by the Age is comprised of quotes of AFL players and coaches. It is neither independent, and is not significant coverage. The AFL are welcome to create a marketing gimmick around a certain AFL fixture, but a marketing gimmick is not worthy of a Wikipedia article.

It fails WP:GNG, WP:NRIVALRY and WP:EVENT and should be deleted. Wikipedia is not a receptacle for AFL marketing gimmicks and spam. Macktheknifeau (talk) 18:00, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep this is a clearly notable event that has been WP:POINTily nominated along with a bunch of other AFL rivalry games in retaliation to a not yet played association football game being deleted - Sydney Derby (A-League)- The-Pope (talk) 00:45, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Strong keep. POINTy nomination and nothing more. This is a major event in the AFL calendar. Try refimprove if you feel it lacks sources. Moondyne (talk) 01:21, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
