The result was   no consensus. (This discussion is on the June 16 list, having been relisted from June 8. According to the deletion policy, "A relisted discussion may be closed once consensus is determined without necessarily waiting a further seven days.") I am closing this one with the same result as Articles for deletion/UEFA Euro 2008 schedule and Articles for deletion/UEFA Euro 2012 schedule since the arguments are more or less the same.

List of 2010 FIFA World Cup matches

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

It is a totally redundant content fork to 2010 FIFA World Cup. Every date, venue and result information can be found on this article. There is no meaning to make a separate article for a list of matches. Article also doesn't meed the GNG, as there are no independent coverage in reliable sources, which discuss the schedule of the World Cup. Armbrust, B.Ed.

 * Keep For the same reasons mentioned at UEFA Euro 2012 schedule. --Schcambo (talk) 14:37, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom, no need for this fork. GiantSnowman 18:12, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. First off, it irks me that 2010 FIFA World Cup is so long and full of tedious details. That's exactly why the sub-pages are important. I propose keeping the match listing because of its unified nature. The schedule itself was certainly reproduced and discussed ad nauseum by major news organizations as well. Let me pull a quote from Articles for deletion/UEFA Euro 2012 schedule that sums up how I feel (see the UEFA discussion for the back-and-forth dialogue on this same issue): "It is more convenient to have all the schedule in one article."

 * Keep per CaseyPenk. Also, the AfD for UEFA Euro 2012 schedule should be closing soon, probably today, and not having this article follow its fate would be frankly ridiculous. This might have been better handled as a multiple nomination. --BDD (talk) 17:36, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
