The result was   Nomination closed -- no actual nomination for deletion. If someone else believes this list is a content fork not appropriate to be a separate article, they can nominate it for deletion if they choose. But this is really a nomination for keeping which does not need to be taken to AfD. Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:18, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

This page has existed for just over two years. I have been working on this page for a couple of weeks and got it up to what I feel are WP:Featured list standards, according to the WP:Featured list criteria. In the FLC review it has been said that page is an unnecessary Content fork of FIFA World Cup. That is a Featured article, and the reviewers at the FAC and FAR did not had a problem with what is presented there. This page has eighteen entries in the first table and eleven in the second. I believe that to be well above the threshold for a subarticle according to WP:Lists, WP:SAL, WP:LISTV, and the minimum-of-10 requirement at WP:FL.

 * Strong Keep Soccer is a game that is popular in most of the world excluding the US and Canada. FIFA World Cup Finals certainly merit notability. --Artene50 (talk) 04:14, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
