Ireland v Wales at 2009 Six Nations

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested PROD. Original reason for PROD was "There is no need for an article for a single match at the 2009 Six Nations." PROD was removed with the reason, "Not convinced that we shouldn't have an article here; this was considered an extremely important match for Irish rugby." On the contrary, other than this being the match that sealed Ireland's first Grand Slam in 61 years, there is nothing historically significant about this match, and there is no content in the article that could not be included at 2009 Six Nations Championship. – PeeJay 01:55, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * delete - Grand slams and Triple Crowns are common enough that they don't have special notability, besides which, the Grand Slam came as a result of Ireland winning all the matches - there's nothing special about the last one. otherwise it can be adequately covered in the main 2009 6N article. dramatic (talk) 02:30, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete It's just a useless page which has basically already been covered in the 2009 Six Nations page. Afkatk (talk) 06:53, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, single matches which are part of a larger event or competition should be merged and deleted. Within rugby the only single match article I think of note is the Rugby union at the 1908 Summer Olympics, but that is a single match due to only two teams entering the competition.

 * No they shouldn't. Merge and delete isn't a viable option because it violates policy. - Mgm|(talk) 10:22, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Not WP:Merge, I should have used the words merge (or maybe a better term is transfer) some of the information from the article into the Championship page, and then delete the old article. Otherwise a plain delete is preferable than keep. FruitMonkey (talk) 10:37, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * delete Ireland winning Grand Slam was notable but this match wasn't other than its where it was sealed. Quality not great and its all been covered in 2009 6 Nations article anyway.  G  ain  Line   ♠ ♥ 12:59, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
