Fenerbahçe S.K. 0–7 Galatasaray S.K.

 * – ( 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.

Per the commentary: the actual result itself is in dispute due to poor quality sourcing at the time and since (which prompted recent attempt to move the page to 1-7). If we are unable to verify the result 100% then this is already on very shaky ground.

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.

 * Additional comment there is currently an Edit War over the score at the main Derby page. Koncorde (talk) 16:14, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not only does it fail WP:GNG, but we can't even verify the basic claim of notability in the article's title: the score. —C.Fred (talk) 16:08, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak delete I can see GNG possibly met, we do have high scoring game articles, but between each clubs seasons 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, especially as the scoreline of the match can't even be reliably and consistently sourced. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:03, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * 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) 19:31, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - Even the score itself, the main point fo the article, is not verifiable. "Due to the absence of neutral third-party sources the line-ups and details of the match are disputed and not completely verifiable." Not to mention that this match is never remembered or talked about, unlike Fenerbahçe 6–0 Galatasaray, which is still one of the most-talked about events in Turkey. ~𝓐𝓭𝓲𝓰𝓪𝓫𝓻𝓮𝓴 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓕𝓲𝓻𝓼𝓽~  Contact  09:08, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
 * 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 1910–11 Istanbul Football League, especially since this level of detail is not required.

 * Delete because the article does not meet required notability whatsoever (WP:GNG). Paul Vaurie (talk) 01:56, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
