Italy v England (1948)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

As stated in the England vs Chile AFD, it requires more than mere routine coverage and an away victory to merit an article. Sandman888 (talk) 14:59, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - not a notable match, and saying "keep this because Team A beat Team B in B-Land" is not a valid reason. GiantSnowman 15:14, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I have a strong feeling that this has plenty more than routine coverage and is a keeper, but as its the Christmas period I'm away from my books so cannot check (the Battle of Highbury also occurred in roughly this era, without checking sources its possible I may be confusing the two).

 * Delete Article, as currently written, gives little evidence that this is noteworthy in the football history of either nation, albeit noteworthy in the football history of the two nations against one another, an important difference. --Dweller (talk) 15:11, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete just another football match that one side got excited about because they won. Lots of routine coverage in England ...they were the team that won. No enduring coverage in Italy. Less notable than New Zealand v Italy 2010, which produced a more significant result-- Club Oranje T 21:12, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep A notable fottball match of more then 60 years ago just after the end of World War II so the match had a strong political significance. User:Lucifero4
