Manchester United 1-4 Liverpool (14 March 2009)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Not every football (soccer) game is notable. This game has no text outside of the lineup. WP is not a directory of soccer games. no indication of notability. Shadowjams (talk) 07:14, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Strongest possible delete - This is not a notable match by any stretch of the imagination. In the writing of a history of either of these two clubs, it is extremely unlikely that it would receive any more than a passing mention. – PeeJay 07:25, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment' The above user's talk page mentions he's a "fervent supporter of Manchester United" so his comments should be ignored as clearly biased. 68.244.159.15 (talk) 15:03, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

 * STRONGER DELETE THAN IS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE per PeeJay2K3.  We're not a directory, damnit!  JBsupreme (talk) 07:33, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The match just isn't notable unless you're a Liverpool fan, and to cap it all the scoreline at the top of the page is wrong! Bettia   (bring on the trumpets!)  08:16, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Strongest delete ever times infinity - absolutely, 100% non-notable match! GiantSnowman 09:15, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I had no idea that this AfD would elicit this kind of response. I was actually a little afraid of the opposite... that somehow I'd chosen a completely relevant match that I just couldn't find any sources on. Shadowjams (talk) 09:46, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Ignoring the incorrect bit at the top (saying that Man U won(!) this game 2-0 back in 2004), there is absolutely nothing that gives this particular game notability (unless you're like my friend Jenny M, who supports Liverpool), especially considering that, despite the result, Man U still won the the title this year anyway.

 * Delete Single event not notable in this case. Collect (talk) 12:59, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and consign to oblivion! Favonian (talk) 14:33, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete with the fist of an angry god. -Falcon8765 (talk) 20:54, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * A fantastic Liverpool victory at Old Trafford, but just one of several great matches resulting in wins for Liverpool around that time.  Still a Delete though, because "WP is not a directory of football games"  Astronaut (talk) 01:44, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete On the basis that this match would not appear in an article on the history of either club. --Dweller (talk) 16:40, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP:NOT Jmorrison230582 (talk) 21:39, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, for obvious reasons (and I can't stand Man Utd...) Blue Square Thing (talk) 07:24, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, it's notable in the sense that four months on, I still remember the merciless taunting the Liverpool fan in my office delivered to the Man U fans. But that's not the same thing as encyclopedic notability. --Stormie (talk) 09:57, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete However I would disagree on some of the comments as the match is notable to be mentioned in a season article and a highlight of Man U and Liverpool's 2008-09 season. Govvy (talk) 19:49, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * There's a couple of sentences in each of History of Manchester United F.C. (1999–present) and Liverpool F.C. season 2008–09. If this article had any textual content I'd recommend a merge, but it doesn't. No mention in 2008–09 Premier League beyond the actual score in the table of results, but that article is a fairly dry collection of statistics. --Stormie (talk) 03:26, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable game. --Carioca (talk) 21:47, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
