Fenerbahçe 6–0 Galatasaray

 * – ( View AfD View log )

AfD per discussion at Project Football relating to the enduring notability of a game which is just the highest scoring in a given series. If another game was to be higher scoring it would just replace this, functionally meaning its enduring notability is in question per WP:EVENT and WP:SPORTSEVENT.

Despite large quantity of sources for the result, coverage is routine and largely inconsequential in terms of discussing a high scoring game rather than in-depth coverage - usually in reference to the broader topic of the rivalry rather than on its own per WP:ROUTINE. At best the content may be worth merging with the main rivalry topic The Intercontinental Derby in some fashion.

 * Weak delete I can see GNG possibly met, we do have high scoring game articles, but between each clubs season articles and The Intercontinental Derby, that should be already three articles covering the game which should be enough in my opinion. Govvy (talk) 16:09, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete as above and previous discussions, or at most consider a redirect to The Intercontinental Derby. GiantSnowman 16:27, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete as per discussion at WT:FOOTY and many previous AFDs, matches don't become notable enough just by having a lot of goals. Doesn't meet WP:GNG, and isn't even the highest scoring match of this derby (there's a 7-0 or 7-1 one that also up for AfD), so this one seems even less notable than the other one.

 * Delete per nom and discussion at FOOTY. As the highest scoring game in a series, it is potentially a moving target and that isn't a sound basis for inclusion here. Individual matches need lasting reasons for inclusion as standalone articles – for example, a cup final. Thanks for the ping, . No Great Shaker (talk) 19:30, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to The Intercontinental Derby.--Ortizesp (talk) 20:30, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep- I see GNG being met as unlike Fenerbahçe S.K. 0–7 Galatasaray S.K. -which is essentially forgotten-, this event is still one of the most-talked about events in Turkey. In worst case merge into The Intercontinental Derby. ~𝓐𝓭𝓲𝓰𝓪𝓫𝓻𝓮𝓴 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓕𝓲𝓻𝓼𝓽~ Contact  09:07, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
 * If you can back up the claim that it retains more than just passing coverage each time the fixture comes around to meet GNG or SPORTSEVENT please demonstrate with supporting links. Sources currently in the article establish a game took place, and the scoreline was high, but little else of note. Suitable coverage to establish notability would be articles from reliable sources written after the fact per WP:SIGCOV, ideally recurringly referencing the enduring significance of that one game.

 * Delete per WP:N "Editors may use their discretion to merge or group two or more related topics into a single article." As such, my view is that this should be noted in higher level articles, eg 2002–03 Süper Lig, especially since this level of detail is not required. Nigej (talk) 06:34, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
