Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Republic of Ireland vs France (2010 FIFA World Cup Play-Off)
This will be remembered as an infamous game. As an article it is well sourced and some sections are comprehensive, but the match reports need to be improved. This is becoming the most comprehensive, well sourced and unbiased page on the whole internet about the subject, yet there is this clamour to delete it after only a few days. As other have already said |Wikipedia is not made of paper, hosting an article of this standard should not be seen as a problem. I believe that the sheer amount of global coverage makes this game worthy of an article; I mean it's even got my wife talking about football! Perhaps a comparison with other matches in :Category:Football (soccer) matches|this category would be useful. There are much less significant matches (in my view) in this category of individual matches, and several of them are completely unsourced stubs. The category is heavily Anglo-centric and should be expanded with more well sourced and notable matches from around the globe and the existing contents should be referenced and improved, if some of this can be achieved because of this AfD it would have a positive outcome
