Prayer at Jordan–Hare

I've come to question two majors factors of this article, being standard notability issues and if this particular game is warranted it's own article in general when compared with other game articles such as the 2007 Appalachian State vs. Michigan football game or 1978 Gator Bowl. I am proclaiming a neutral stance in regards of any potential outcome. [ citation needed  ] 00:56, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure why this game is up for deletion AGAIN! We just went through this a few weeks ago and the article received overwhelming support to keep it on Wikipedia. Is there a limit as to the number of times an article can be put up for deletion? Why must we have the same conversation again? Above all, why wouldn't we want as many articles as possible of reasonably notable events on Wikipedia if someone is willing to do the research, thoroughly cite all sources and compose a well-organized presentation in the article? We have Wikipedia articles on a fictional character Kelly Kapoor, the television series John from Cincinnati that ran for only one season and Joe Fishback who played quite sparingly for four seasons in the NFL. Why? Because someone cared enough to write about these barely notable items.

Several Hail Mary victories comparable to "The Prayer at Jordan-Hare" are listed on Wikipedia, for example Hail Flutie and The Miracle at Michigan, both of which were shorter passes than Auburn's game winner. It was being called the greatest play in Auburn history and the greatest play in the 2013 college football season until the following Auburn game against Alabama overshadowed it. It's a topic that will be frequently searched and will bring many Internet users to Wikipedia. Why delete it?
