St Kilda vs Geelong (2009)

Violates WP:NOT; Wikipedia is not a place for random lists of stuff. There's no reason to list every single match of the 2009 AFL season (or any other season for that matter). Individual games from individual seasons of each league do not have game summaries listed, and there is no reason to do so, as those lists, too, would violate the same guidelines. mhking (talk) 19:53, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete – Having an article for a run-of-the-mill regular season game strikes me as indiscriminate information. Perhaps the articles on the teams' seasons would be a more appropriate place for such info, as is done with NFL team season pages. Either way, this is not suitable as a stand-alone article.

 * Delete Although it is unusual for two sports teams to both go 13-0-0 and then meet in the regular season, there are very few regular season games that are important enough for their own article. What happens is that they get mentioned in the article about the league's season.  I'm an NFL fan, but I have my doubts about most of the contests mentioned in Category:National Football League games as well. Mandsford (talk) 13:39, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. If this article cited reliable sources to show how this individual game was notable, I'd consider keeping it. But it doesn't. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:42, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Individual games in a season are not notable. WWGB (talk) 06:35, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. Notability isn't temporary, and individual regular season games can be notable, this probably could have been a decent article if written at the time, as it was a much anticipated event - two teams going 13-0 is unprecedented in Australian rules football. The title is also misleading, as a few months later in 2009 they met again in a much more notable match.  Because of this second meeting, the impact/notability of the first one was diminished, and I can't see any on-going importance from the match, nor think that many editiors will put the effort into expanding it into a decent article.  If I'm proved wrong in the next few days, then maybe keep, but I doubt it will happen.The-Pope (talk) 13:57, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't know much about AFL, but this appears to have been a routine game Nick-D (talk) 08:42, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
