Queen's Birthday clash

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Subject is non-notable, has no independent sources, fails WP:GNG and WP:EVENT. Macktheknifeau (talk) 18:10, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Deletion Reasoning: This article has 5 references. 1 is a stats page. 2 references are dead links that can't be verified. 1 is from the stadium where the match is played and is not independent. 1 is a summary of one entire round that this fixture was played in with no significant coverage of the actual event. There is not a single reliable, independent source for this event. As far as I can tell it is a regular season fixture that just happens to co-incide with a specific date that the AFL have decided to create a marketing gimmick around. It fails WP:GNG and WP:EVENT and should be deleted. Macktheknifeau (talk) 18:10, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
