Deletion of Manning Bowl (American football)

Comment: I should first perhaps mention that, due to my New Orleans connections, I have been watching both of the Mannings for a ''long'' time (Eli since high school).  This AfD, like the pending one for Harbaugh Bowl,  presents the question: what quantum of notability is necessary for an article about a regular-season NFL game?  In some sense, every NFL game could be said to pass , since there's always plenty of contemporaneous coverage and then almost always further coverage later in the season and afterward.  But we clearly don't want a separate article on every game, so we have to have some understanding of what sorts of games are unusual enough to qualify for their own article.  :Category:National Football League games has only 14 entries, at least two of which are currently being reviewed at AfD. The other games on the list tend to have truly famous plays (e.g., River City Relay, Miracle at the Meadowlands).  There are others in other categories,  such as the Heidi Game which is categorized under :Category:National Football League controversies.  Somewhat subjectively, I don't think the Manning games come up to this level.   To the extent that there's some notability in the "rivalry" between the Mannings, I don't think it's limited to, or even particularly focused upon, their occasional games against each other, but more about comparing their overall careers, and how Eli has now surprisingly won more Super Bowls than his big brother.  It seems enough to talk about these comparisons in their respective biographies

Comment: The fact that the quarterbacks were brothers has generated coverage that in my opinion can not be considered routine as defined in . The suggestion to refocus the article away from the games to the general rivalry of the brothers seems sound

Comment: per . This is a notable rivalry that is one-of-a-kind and throughout the careers of the two, has attracted large amounts of media attention. Besides, the media compares the Manning brothers in many other ways

Comment: Fails  and , specifically, .  Contemporary coverage was routine; game will be forgotten; no books will ever be written titled "The Manning Bowl."  When in doubt, ask yourself, what would Encylopaedia Britannica do (WWBD?)?  A: Delete it

Comment: I'll reiterate my comments from the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Harbaugh Bowl|Harbaugh Bowl AfD: Just because there was coverage in reliable sources doesn't guarantee that it is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, as the |general notability guideline acknowledges. The problem here is that this game doesn't meet the standards of |notability for events. Lasting effects? Hardly. Duration of coverage? Nope. Also, per , ''"routine news coverage of such things as announcements, sports, and tabloid journalism are not sufficient basis for an article. ... Routine events such as sports matches, film premieres, press conferences etc. may be better covered as part of another article, if at all."'' That's certainly the case here: a mention of the so-called "Manning Bowl" on each brother's biographical article would be more than sufficient
