Deletion of Harbaugh Bowl

Comment: Was not a typical game. Was a first of its kind more many reasons. Prior to this game, there had never been a game played between two head coaches who were brothers. That's what makes it so unusual. Even if there are more matchups between the two brothers, which is possible, this will always stand out as the first.  states ''Articles about notable games should have well-sourced prose, not merely a list of stats,'' and this article meets that requirement

Comment: 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 "Harbaugh Bowl" on each brother's biographical article would be more than sufficient

Comment: Fails  and , specifically, .  WP:CFB and WP:NFL editors need to stop inventing cutesy articles for topics such as this.  This deserves one or two sentences, if anything, in the respective bio articles of the Harbaugh brothers, nothing more . . . and certainly not a stand-alone article of 2,500+ words and five photos recycled from other articles (none of which were actually taken during the subject games

Comment: This AfD presents the question: what quantum of notability is necessary for an article about a single 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 Harbaugh game comes up to this level: nothing all that memorable really happened, and there are plenty of other games between brothers.  If, a year or five from now, it turns out that people really are still writing about the game, we could reconsider, but for now it seems enough to talk about the game in the Harbaughs' biographies and in the season articles for the teams, where it will be discussed anyway.  I will say this, however: if Manning Bowl (also currently at AfD) is kept, there'd be a better argument that this one should be too

Comment: There was heavy reliable sources that you can find, and the fact that this game is rare in that brothers have faced off against each other as coaches is definitely notable. This has never happened before. As Hellno2 said,  states that ''Articles about notable games should have well-sourced prose, not merely a list of stats,'' and this game doesn't have just stats, as there was notability, and reliable sources, especially since this game was heavily covered
