Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Harbaugh Bowl
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
