 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Already sufficiently covered in 1966 FIFA World Cup Final article. Triple RRR (talk) 23:56, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - the controversy surrounding this goal/non-goal is well documented and covered in detail in an existing article - no need for a seperate one. GiantSnowman 02:42, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 1966 FIFA World Cup Final. No reason for fork. Location (talk) 02:47, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Content fork of 1966 FIFA World Cup Final. -- sk8er5000 yeah? 02:56, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Relevance beyound 1966 and beyound the fork. This applies to a current event (Blomfontein), intense media coverage for decades in Germany and as well general discussions about the intro of technical devices for referees in soccer. PS.: Changed title and addr4essed some of the issues mentioned here, as said its much beyound a fork of 1966, so e.g. in university studies like this Polentario (talk) 04:56, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep This allows us to mention the goal of Frank Lampard in the World Cup Finals 2010. --193.9.13.135 (talk) 08:47, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to Wembley Goal. Everyone in Germany knows what a Wembley Tor is, it is a word that has been applied to other goals of that kind. This should be sufficient to keep an article on it. --Pgallert (talk) 10:33, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect to 1966 FIFA World Cup Final - content fork, and I doubt that the goal itself has received significant coverage outside the context of the game. Claritas § 15:02, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete This article can be forked to 1966 FIFA World Cup Final. This is covered in detail in the final article. Joe Gazz84  15:27, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as fork of 1966 FIFA World Cup Final. I've never heard of the goal referred to as simply "third goal" or "Wembley goal".  Yes, it's Wembley-Tor in German, but there isn't a straight translation in common use as far as I know.  If you want somewhere to mention the Lampard "goal" (which I think is just recentism), why not use it as background for Goal-line technology or somewhere else relevant?

 * Delete: A ridiculous title for starters—nobody has ever called this the "third goal". Regardless of name, the goal/non-goal is already covered in sufficient detail in the 1966 Final article. The Lampard goal has absolutely nothing to do with anything, this kind of thing happens all the time in football matches around the world. Big  Dom  17:49, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delte. Needless content fork of both 1966 FIFA World Cup Final and Ghost goal. The title is so bad that a redirect isn't even worth the effort. Alzarian16 (talk) 11:18, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not only in Great Britain and Germany one of the great, unforgotten stories (even "myths") in football history, covered in a million of newspaper articles and a thousand printed books - mostly as Wembley goal (or, in German, -Tor) - and "revived" almost half a century later. The article has the significance and, consequently, a right of existence of its own. --Wahrerwattwurm (talk) 07:46, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
