Liverpool F.C. 1–2 Grimsby Town F.C. (2001)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article fails WP:GNG. It's almost 20 years since the match was played and there's not much in the way of long-term notability about the match aside from one article in the Grimsby Telegraph. This isn't notable in the same way as other giant-killing articles we have here. Due to this, I believe the article should be deleted. NapHit (talk) 16:13, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - agree there is no lasting significant to, or coverage of, this match. GiantSnowman 17:05, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete
 * Delete - while the article is lengthy and well-referenced, an equivalent article could be produced for basically any professional football match in England, given the coverage they get. To get a stand-alone article requires a particular claim to notability above and beyond that, and I am not seeing that here -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:05, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - per above. We're not in the business of producing match reports for football matches. Could only be justified if there was something truly extraordinary about this match Nigej (talk) 17:13, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Doesn't meet general notability guidelines. Rondolinda (talk) 22:12, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. KingSkyLord (talk &#124; contribs) 14:13, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per all. Fails GNG. RockOften (talk) 17:36, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete this doesn't pass WP:GNG, as it's not a massive "giant killing". It was a Tier 2 team beating a Tier 1 team, which is why there's not lasting coverage if this unlike some other FA Cup shocks. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:46, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Abstain A night that was probably more well sourced and covered at the time and was certainly considered a giant killing due to the size and financial difficulties of Grimsby Town. Having come across similar articles on Wikipedia featuring games of a similar stature I hoped this would at least be worthy of being notable enough to remain, certainly given the hours I put in to trying to unearth the references and beef up the article to being as informative as possible. Alas, although aware I am long past tired of trying to navigate some Wiki policies. I have never been a fan of removing informative articles but I don't make the rules, so with that I abstain because it would be pretty pointless to say otherwise.
