Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2003–04 Manchester City F.C. season/FA Cup Fourth round replay
Readers of this discussion should note well that according to the guidance of , events that are not normally considered to be noteworthy in of themselves can still merit their own articles because ''"events are often considered to be notable if they act as a precedent or catalyst for something else."''  Thus, for instance, none of us here are going to dispute that the upcoming Stoke City-Man. City FA Cup final game will ultimately merit its own article, even if the game is a dour and totally forgettable affair, because FA Cup finals are consensually considered to be "significant and notable soccer events".  What  effectively states is that if City win the FA Cup then the semi-final game against Man. United will possibly merit its own article too, because that game can be considered to be a precedent or catalyst for City reaching the final and lifting the cup
— NONE, NONE
