Nebraska vs Ohio State (The Lazarus Game)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable college football game. Does not pass WP:Event. Not likely to have lasting significance. Inclusion not supported by independent sources beyond routine sports reporting. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 01:35, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Nebraska Cornhuskers football. And Adoil Descended (talk) 01:39, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete nothing special about this game, and only two sources--both ESPN articles--do not reveal anything special about it other than routine reporting. Basic "fandom" material.  If kept, standard naming would  be 2011 Ohio State vs. Nebraska football game.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:05, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Another thought Title of article shows serious violation of WP:POV, favoring Cornhusker fans. I doubt seriously that Ohio State calls it the "Lazarus Game" --Paul McDonald (talk) 18:25, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge with 2011 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team. I see nothing special about this game to warrant its own page.  It was a nice comeback but not a special game.
 * Delete as above - no need for redirect (it's an implausible search term). Neutralitytalk 01:11, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per Paulmcdonald.  This game was certainly an exciting game, and there can and should be a discussion of the game in the 2011 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team article, but I don't see enough in the coverage to support a separate article.  Not every exciting game warrants an article.  Cbl62 (talk) 22:02, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
