Lakers–Rockets brawl

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Overstated "brawl" was a run-of-the-mill verbal and shoving incident among basketball players with no major punches, injuries, or any suspensions as major as those at List of people banned or suspended by the NBA. Per WP:SPORTSEVENT, a single game is generally not notable. As a single event, this fails guideline WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE with coverage dying within days. There are no major write-ups months later to show its WP:LASTING impact. It violates WP:NOTADIARY to go into this play-by-play detail. A few sentences at 2018–19 Houston Rockets season and 2018–19 Los Angeles Lakers season as well as the bios of those suspended is sufficient. —Bagumba (talk) 10:56, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete, nominator has it exactly right. bd2412  T 14:22, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment; I know I created this article, but I could probably count on two hands the number of brawls that have resulted in 9+ games of suspensions for the parties involved; "run-of-the-mill" is a little misleading, I'd think? If you look at other brawl articles which I modelled this article after, such as the Knicks-Nuggets brawl, they delve into intricate details of the altercation, and other historical games of significance seem to follow this model, which I'm confused about your WP:NOTADIARY concern. Similar good articles like that one are also primarily modelled on primary sources. I had this article reviewed in IRC because of my concern about notability, but no issues were raised there, which is why I'm slightly surprised that my first article is now on a AfD. 2506Locks (talk) 15:31, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it sucks when you patterned it after an existing article, did due dilligence at WP:AFC, but the article you started is still being questioned. If you can (re-)read WP:NEVENT and are able to identify later sources that detail the histroical significance of this, I would reconsider. Regarding the Knicks–Nuggets article, WP:OTHERSTUFF might apply. I havent looked at that brawl, but it might be more significant than this one, or perhaps that one should be deleted as well. While AfC met one editor's approval, AfD offers a wider audience to reach a consensus.  This discussion just started, and others might have different perspectives.

 * Delete. Non-notable incident that deserves nothing more than a passing mention in relevant articles. No Great Shaker (talk) 07:05, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per nom. the incident is not notable and not suitable for an article. Alex-h (talk) 13:10, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
