Looks like a case of WP:BIO1E, coverage of the subject is exclusively in the context of the Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy.

WP:BLP of a writer, not reliably sourced as passing WP:AUTHOR. As always, writers are not given automatic notability freebies just because their writing exists, and have to show external validation of the impact of their work (notable literary awards, third-party evaluation of their work by literary critics, etc.) -- but this just states that she exists, and is referenced entirely to primary sources (a piece of her own bylined writing about something other than herself, and staff profiles on the self-published websites of directly affiliated companies or organizations) rather than any evidence of WP:GNG-worthy coverage or analysis about her work. Bearcat (talk) 14:46, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

"Quoted in sources" does not help to establish passage of GNG — notability is not established by sources in which the person is speaking or writing about other things, it's established by sources in which the person is the subject of coverage and analysis being spoken or written by other people. Bearcat (talk) 19:19, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
When she is quoted as an expert, the designation of "expert" (or e.g. "the UK's foremost disaster relief adviser") is commentary from the source finding her opinion noteworthy, and could support her notability in combination with other sources per WP:BASIC; and for this subject, WP:NPROF#7 is also potentially supported by interviews in conventional media as an academic expert.

List of cultural icons of Scotland (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NOR, a core policy. With a few exceptions, the sources for the items on this list do not describe the items as "cultural icons of scotland", which leaves us with a mostly random list of famous things and people from Scotland. The previous AfD from 2014 made arguments that would be deemed inadmissible today. Sandstein 13:49, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

  • Keep. Does not fail WP:NOR. References in page heavily allude to the cultural significance of the various items. Sources need not describe them as "cultural icons". Items for which sources do not indicate cultural signicance should be deleted but are not reasons to delete the whole article.

  • Delete The naming of something as a "cultural icon" is a subjective judgement, and Knowledge (XXG) should not assert opinions as fact. A list such as this might be sustainable with much tighter sourcing, but in my view, the sources used should not only describe the item in question as an "icon", but also tell us by whom it is considered iconic (and, ideally, why). For example, I think the source provided in this list for Oor Wullie is just about acceptable. However, I was unable to find similar sources to support the inclusion of haggis or sporran, so I fear that stricter sourcing requirements would leave the list very unbalanced. It seems that very few reliable sources have made an effort to pin down exactly what a "Scottish cultural icon" is, or what qualifies, and in the absence of such sources, this article will always be OR.

  • Delete. Cultural icon is a highly subjective status, and the sourcing is absurdly and ludicrously terrible. The one for Balmoral Castle is an article titled "Royal aide is shot at Balmoral". For Sean Connery, it's "Sir Sean Connery signs book deal". Nothing about him being an icon, just a routine announcement. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:00, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete I'm not seeing any proper WP:LISTCRITERIA and I'm not sure any could be constructed; a collocation like "cultural icon" being applied to something (or someone, for that matter) is no basis for a list. TompaDompa (talk) 03:37, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete I'm not incredibly familiar with list policy, to be transparent, but WP:SALAT recommends against excessively broad lists; either way, such a list as this seems ridiculous on the face of it. Would we have an article called "list of cultural icons of France" or "list of cultural icons of Germany"? Or a list of words in Indonesian? I struggle to think so.

  • Delete per WP:PROMOTION; does not meet WP:GNG, let alone WP:NCORP. The English Knowledge (XXG) article contains no secondary sources, except for MusicBrainz, which in turn cites this Knowledge (XXG) article, which strongly suggests WP:CITOGENESIS. Although the Spanish and Portuguese Knowledge (XXG) entries for Music Brokers do cite secondary sources, these are primarily articles about specific albums, with Music Brokers mentioned only in passing. Similarly, although ProQuest turns up a few dozen hits for the Argentinian "Music Brokers" (not to be confused with the Canadian label called "The Music Brokers"), these are mainly mentions in passing. The one focused piece on the actual company I have found so far is the very recent (28 November 2022) 25th anniversary press release, which is a primary source and therefore doesn't count toward notability per WP:NCORP. For the purposes of promoting this music label/broker and its associated albums, it seems like there are many other websites and wikis available that would be a better fit than English Knowledge (XXG).

The result was keep. There's clearly no consensus to delete this, and as one participant pointed out, the nominator's proposal of "merge and delete" is not something we do anyway. Reminder that you don't need to send an article to AfD to propose a merge, you can do that on article talk. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 14:35, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Merge with Tom Waits, then delete -- non-notable except as wife and cohort of Tom Waits. MurrayGreshler (talk) 13:11, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

@Beccaynr -- I respect your opinion but she is irretrievably linked to Waits and I still believe she should be a redirect to his page with any salient info unique to her page manually added to Waits' article. MurrayGreshler (talk) 21:25, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
The doctrine of coverture does not apply to notability - the support for WP:BASIC and WP:COMPOSER notability in independent and reliable sources over time are not discounted simply because she is married to Waits. While a relationship alone does not confer notability, we can keep a standalone article for Brennan because significant coverage exists, e.g. multiple reviews of multiple works per WP:CREATIVE, WP:BASIC coverage including WP:SECONDARY commentary and context over time, and WP:COMPOSER notability noted above for her co-writing of multiple notable works. Beccaynr (talk) 21:32, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
Coverture? Really? I am not a chauvinist who believes a woman is her husband's chattel. I am merely suggesting that, for the purposes of Knowledge (XXG), Brennan is not sufficiently independently notable of her husband to merit her own article. Let's try to assume good faith. MurrayGreshler (talk) 22:20, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
My reference to coverture was intended as a rhetorical response to the phrase "irretrievably linked" and the merger suggestion, particularly after sources were identified to support her notability according to multiple guidelines. This article can be further developed (sources in my comment are examples, not complete results from a search, and I have not checked the Knowledge (XXG) Library, and in GBooks, e.g. there are 21 hits for her name in Lowside of the Road: A Life of Tom Waits). There is sufficent information about her and her notable career for there to be WP:NOMERGE for this subject. Beccaynr (talk) 23:05, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep She meets two of the criteria of WP:COMPOSER - 1) Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition. (and she has that for more than one, so it's pretty strong) and 4) Has written a composition that has won (or in some cases been given a second or other place) in a major music competition not established expressly for newcomers. For how collaboration is treated, the case of Lerner and Loewe is a model. Lerner did not create any works on his own but is considered notable even though all of the (non obit) articles are about the two of them. This case is different because one collaborator is also the performer and therefore more visible, but in general songwriters and lyricists are not as visible as performers. It is a shame that she does not get more credit on her own. We've spend decades now recovering the "wives" of science of the past centuries; it seems to be time to turn to current times and the arts.

She only seems to have had minor roles. Currently the page appears to be basing her notability on being married to another actor. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 06:08, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

  • Note that until June 2022 the article looked like this, and was then gutted by a short-lived, now blocked, user with edit summary "Unsourced anecdote." Yes it was largely unsourced but it had been created in 2007, before any mention of the celebrity husband, though unsourced from the start. She apparently stars in Take Back (film), where she's named on the poster - although her article, as of June 22, said " In Spring 2021, Gillian will be showcased in her first lead role in the action thriller Take Back ". So it was a poor and unsourced article but not as minimal as the current version, and looks as if it should have scope to be expanded to show her notability. Not my area of interest (she's on my watch list after I disambiguated various Gillian Whites in 2021). PamD 10:13, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

I also can't help but wonder how you even found this article. Were you looking at my contributions? Trainsandotherthings (talk) 15:10, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
  • Merge to Florence Division. That is another more specific list-type article. Rather than just redirecting, Florence Division should be reformatted into a table with some basic info about each line. (note: per WP:BLAR, objecting and discussing is quite acceptable). MB 19:08, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
    No, that article should be deleted, because Knowledge (XXG) is not a train timetable. We absolutely are not governed by how CSX internally organizes its rail lines. There are hundreds of these pointless stubs, and almost all merit redirection to another article. Let me ask you this: what here is even worth merging? Reference 1 is a wiki and cannot be considered reliable, while reference 2 is a primary source, and literally a timetable. WP:NOTTIMETABLE exists for a reason. This subdivision belongs as an entry on the overall list, nothing more, which is why I redirected it there. The reason articles like this have languished as stubs with no reliable secondary sourcing is that they are not notable, no matter how much some foamers think they are.
    And I am well within my rights to question how the OP found my redirect and undid it, considering they've shown zero interest in anything besides Australian buses and train stations until now, and have previously directed personal attacks towards me. I find it hard to believe this wasn't retaliatory. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 19:40, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment. I'm not sure what to make of the underlying drama here, but I would consider a nearly 100-mile-long railway line to be presumptively notable. The currently article is inadequate, yes, though maybe not so inadequate as all that. WP:NOTTIMETABLE doesn't really apply here, where an employee timetable is used for mileage and connections to other pieces of physical infrastructure. The most obvious areas of expansion would be the companies that originally built it, and when, and perhaps a survey of former passenger service over the line. Mackensen (talk) 12:16, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
    I'm looking at the corporate history; the line was probably built by the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad and the Carolina Central Railroad, successor to the former. This was all part of the Seaboard by 1900 or so. Mackensen (talk) 13:00, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
    It's entirely possible there's a notable rail line here. But that does not mean that we have to say this particular subdivision is notable, unless it is the same stretch of track. This article, and a bunch more, were all mass created by a railfan with no regard to if they made sense as articles; they were simply mass produced with no secondary sources. We should not necessarily be organizing our articles by subdivisions, which are simply pieces of track that someone in Jacksonville decided to organize in a certain way. I'm of the belief many if not most subdivisions should end up like the Fitzgerald Subdivision, merged into an article on the company that built the line. Some may be standalone notable, but not this one. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 14:10, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
Comment Went back to check on this AFD seems that Trainsandotherthings got quite mad because I checked his contributions to clarify this happened because I saw that he AFd two articles on wikiproject buses I believed he had added afds to some other articles, I wanted to make sure the articles were deleted with discussion and that the article would be deleted in a way which is easy to restore if notability can be achieved, so I checked his contributions he redirected an article with 0 discussion (this one). Since he doesnt want me to check his contributions I decided to respect his wishes by doing so. Keep in mind this user has admitted to checking contributions, has also accused me of bad faith for contesting against an AFD and has consistently shown that he is unwilling to change his point of view in AFD discussions and forces others opon his views. Overall this AFD isn't a waste atleast 5 editors have made contributions to this page and only 1 person is in favour of making the mage a redirect. NotOrrio (talk) 13:17, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
So we have:
  • An admission that you specifically targeted me
  • Accusations of bad faith ("forces others opon his views")
  • Admitting that this AfD was started because you're mad I, along with many others, voted to redirect your non-notable bus articles
You'll also notice nobody is actually arguing that this article can stand on its own. But sure, I'm just an evil deletionist trying to impose my views on everyone else. Keep pushing that narrative, buddy. I checked your contributions because you had a history of trying to disrupt and circumvent AfD, and lo and behold, I caught you doing exactly that. Not sure how I'm the bad guy here. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 13:50, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

  • Merge with CSX Transportation. This is part of something notable; not notable on its own. Rublamb (talk) 21:50, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
    Merging an individual subdivision, one of the several hundred CSX owns, to the CSX article, is not appropriate (think merging the article on a tiny Indian village to India, it would be pointless). This belongs at the list of CSX lines, where it is already included, and at the article for the company which originally built the line. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 02:01, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

The result was delete. While there are plenty of media mentions of the Telly Awards from those that have won the award, there is a dearth of independent, secondary, reliable sources about the awards themselves, not enough in depth organizational coverage to establish notability for the award that warrant its own article.

The Telly Awards are a non-notable award. Previously deleted, a new article has reappeared with dreadful sourcing that does nothing to establish notability. The first source is the Telly Awards' own about page which is hardly an independent source. The second source is a press release even though it has a byline. If you don't believe me, the third source is the same press release posted by "Shot News" on their web site. If you still don't believe me, this same press release is also here complete with the usual press release "About" at the bottom. The fourth source is Al Jazeera congratulating themselves in winning an award that is given awaysold like candy. I can find many more puff-pieces where a Telly Award is "won" but there is no significant coverage in independent reliable sources that I found that establishes this award as notable. Whpq (talk) 02:52, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

  • Delete The award appears to have been around since 1979 and there are a ton of mentions of it, but all are promotional or PR pieces. Even in news sources, they only list nominees and winners. CGTN won an award recently and they covered it, but we don't consider them a RS. What's given for sourcing in the article is useless as above. This seems to be a long-established award, but I can't find much of anything we can use for sources. Oaktree b (talk) 03:32, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
There are even mentions in scholarly journals; one was about a series of videos documenting the first 10 yrs of development milestones in children in a medical journal. The documentary was widely used in the field, so I'd have to imagine the Telly Awards carry some sort of notability, but I just can't find anything about them. Oaktree b (talk) 03:35, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
The first AfD from way back in 2008 uses pretty much the same argument (but has very weird sourcing that we don't see in AfD). The point being that people like to brag about winning one, and there are lots of mentions of wins. That discussion was to keep the article, but they also point out that there are few if any (what we now call) RS. Damn, this is a tough one, feels like it should be notable but I can't find anything to support that. Oaktree b (talk) 03:39, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
It feels like it should be notable because you can find lots of press releases from organisaitons touting their Telly Awards. The thing is, it's just a paid for award. To be clear, this is going to be my opinion backed up with unreliable sources because reliable sources haven't bothered to cover this scam. If we have reliable sources covering this scam, then we would be able to establish notability. Anyhow, I think this reddit post does a good job summing up what the Telly Awards is about. -- Whpq (talk) 14:04, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

    • Do Not Delete I created the page. The Telly Awards are definitely notable, as you can see by googling it - hundreds to thousands of organizations put out a press release in the news once they win a Telly Award, including many governmental organizations and non-profits. I did see a previous Telly Award wiki page was deleted in 2008 but it did indeed have weird syntax and references. I struggled when I put it up to find RS and it remains a mystery why so hard to find. An Indian Telly Awards page was created in 2009 for Hindi-language television, and it is a spinoff of the much older Telly Awards. I am working on adding more RS now and just pinged their Executive Director on LinkedIn to learn if there are any quality news or journal articles that are citeable. Hope you can bear with me.Schmiebel (talk) 02:37, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
      I've added a half dozen citations from newspapers and/or magazines, External link to Telly Award podcasts, new subsection on 44th Tellys, expanded subsection on 43rd Tellys, and quote from Executive Director. Still hope to hear from her to see if I can get additional RS.Schmiebel (talk) 03:38, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
      None of what is added establishes notability. Provideocoaltion is just a warmed over press release from Telly. Creativepool is dubious as a reliable source and this is an interview. Note that creative pool also run their own award. Advance Media is a press release congratulating themselves. I guess it is there to confirm the 3% gold claim but a press release does nothing for notability. Post magazine is just publishing a different excerpt from the same press release as provideocolation mentioned earlier. Shootonline is just a copy of the Telly press release. Nothing that has been added represents coverage in a reliable source. -- Whpq (talk) 00:37, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

  • Delete. This has also previously been deleted as Telly Award which I have now added to the previous AFDs box. I might be more convinced for an IAR case (which was the 2008 rationale) if winning one of these awards meant some kind of achievement. But it doesn't, you just have to look at the winners lists to see that. Even the gold trophy is given out indiscriminately to literally thousands of recipients each year. Basically, you just have to submit an entry and pay the fee to win something. SpinningSpark 14:38, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
    Only 3% of applicants win gold according to this PR. https://www.advancemediany.com/the-telly-awards-2022/
    7%-10% win silver awards, and 18%-25% win bronze according to the Telly Awards fact sheet https://www.tellyawards.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2017/06/38th_Telly_Fact_Sheet.pdf
    I am still trying to reach the Managing Director to get more RS.Schmiebel (talk) 19:58, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
    So adding those together, according to their own figures, up to 38% of entries get one of the top awards. That's still pretty indiscriminate considering this says they typically get 12,000 entries (38% of 12,000 is >4,500). I also see in your link the online community views and rates videos to help decide People's Telly Award Winners. So even more get something to take away. SpinningSpark 17:49, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep Delete Nearly all of the sources about this (and I went through 20 pages of Google results) are of people bragging about having won an award, including presumably dignified folks like Bloomberg and PBS. Even G-Scholar is a bunch of scholars bragging about their awards. I don't think we should delete this even though the award is essentially pay-to-win. Like the fad diets, this may be something we don't take seriously but it definitely is a THING. I added a section on the entry mechanism and the fees, although I could only link that to the Telly site. I looked for articles critical of the award, but couldn't find any. It's clear to me that the category structure is designed to create the largest number of winners by breaking down the categories into nearly 100 different sections. I think it's fine if people want to give themselves awards, but the article should be honest about the promotional nature of the award itself. There is too much promotional material about the winners in the sections by year which needs to be cleared out. A short list of top winners would suffice. I don't think that we would consider winning one of these awards to lend to notability. The award may be notable but the winners are not necessarily so. Lamona (talk) 18:14, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
    Makes sense. I trimmed out the quasi-promotional list of award winners as you suggested. It has dawned on me, after also looking through dozens of pages searching for RS on Telly Awards that google is just too full of press releases by the high volume of awardees. This is not to say that there are no RS on the Telly Awards. In fact, I found several RS by searching on the current managing director instead of searching on "Telly Awards". I'm still hoping to identify the founders/owners/past managing directors so that I can do focused searches on them instead of just "Telly Awards".Schmiebel (talk) 00:38, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I see it now on the Telly Award web site. I still can't get over that reputable folks are vaunting this award yet no one has written about it as a "thing". I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't an NDA for entering. Few awards get given a critical treatment, but most of what I'm seeing is winners talking. If this is a non-notable award, why does it get major companies entering? That's what I can't figure out. I'll keep digging. Lamona (talk) 18:21, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
Yes, we all know that Press Releases aren't RS. Straw man arguments are not helpful Whpq. Given the volume of PR, I believe people need to be able to read up on what the Telly Awards are. This is why I created the page to start with - I couldn't easily find a good article describing the Tellys because the few articles are buried in press releases which are greater in number by 3 orders of magnitude. Rather than delete the page, I'd welcome adding to the page criticism of the award mechanism having a pay to win component, if we can locate RS to support that assertion. Meanwhile I will keep working to find and add RS as above.Schmiebel (talk) 17:57, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
What strawman argument I am I using? The lack of any coverage in reliable sources is pretty much the standard argument at AFD. -- Whpq (talk) 18:03, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete per Whpq. An assortment of press releases and routine announcements does not make WP:GNG met. E.g., this reference is promotionally written, linking to the award's URL along with the lines To enter your work in the 44th Annual Telly Awards, The Telly Awards continues to curate a diverse roster of well-established in conjunction with frequent quotes usage. This is another routine announcement- quoting and listing winners with little critical commentary is not SIGCOV. Per WP:GNG, not all coverage in reliable sources constitutes evidence of notability for the purposes of article creation; for example, directories and databases, advertisements, announcements columns, and minor news stories are all examples of coverage that may not actually support notability when examined, despite their existence as reliable sources. This is the case here. Additionally, the other refs not from the awards organisation, i.e., 1, 2, 3, all promotionally written press releases. Moreover, while it is not the intention, some of the keep votes have been unconvincingly going into WP:LOTSOFSOURCES, relying on that multiple subpar press releases demonstrate notability (?). Unfortunately, I did not find SIGCOV-meeting sources per WP:BEFORE, though if the keep voters could provide some high-quality WP:SIGCOV meeting sources instead of the usual press releases please ping me. Thanks. VickKiang (talk) 09:48, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment I changed my !vote to delete but I must say that there is something very odd about this - that no one talks about it except in the most glowing terms even though tens of thousands have participated. I'm stumped. Lamona (talk) 17:43, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

The article lacks depth sufficient to stand alone. Similar articles have sufficient depth, coverage, and reach to stand alone (therefore are notable and meaningful) for example Cannabis in Hawaii or Cannabis_in_South_Africa Flibbertigibbets (talk) 02:52, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

The result was delete. As an aside, looking at this article, it looks like the AFD tag was removed and replaced at least 5 or 6 times. Since so much of the article content appears to be false, if this article gets recreated yet again, I recommend salting the page. Liz 02:20, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Vishal Meena Phagi (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A textbook example of WP:REFBOMB. Previously deleted under A7, now the references are almost exclusively about Anushka Sen (?) for some reason. Most of the refs don't discuss Vishal Meena at all, e.g., reference 6's title states Vishal Meena replaced in 'Apna Time Bhi Aayega in the reflist but the actual ref's headline is Anushka Sen replaced in ‘Apna Time Bhi Aayega’: While producers cite unprofessionalism, actress claims she quit on health grounds (accidental mistake?). this ref discusses Vishal Aditya Singh instead of Vishal Meena. But there is not a single reference discussing Vishal Meena Phagi, the actual subject of the article, significantly, I could not find any per a WP:BEFORE and the extremely minor roles fail WP:NACTOR.

Wireless asset monitoring systems or software might reside in the realm of speciality inventory control products which report on telemetry wirelessly; the article is not describing anything noteworthy or encyclopedic. Even "widget" carries more weight in terms of notability and that phrase redirects to an article called Placeholder name. Flibbertigibbets (talk) 02:16, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Delete per WP:TNT. I'm not 100% convinced this fails GNG, but if an article should exist, this isn't it. mi1yT·C 08:34, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
I don't agree that this is a TNT case. It is a reasonable basis for further expansion. Yes, it currently has no sources in the article, but nothing it says is outright wrong and WP:AFD is not cleanup and WP:NEXIST says sources don't have to be in the article to keep it. SpinningSpark 14:10, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
It's not clear to me that these references are describing the same thing as the article. 1 and 3 are just applications of passive RFID tags; 2 is RFID tags + measuring time between scans at different places to calculate speed. (I can't see the last because Google's doing the "you've seen too many pages of this book" thing.) Wireless asset monitoring system, however, appears to be talking about a specific system involving industrial sensors and active transmission.
If this page does exist, it should be about the concept generally and not about this one product. I can't imagine a good article incorporating any of what's there currently. mi1yT·C 08:33, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

The result was soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. plicit 23:47, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

The result was redirect to Chargers–Raiders rivalry. Those advocating Delete have the numbers here but those favoring a Redirect put in a good ATD argument in the last 2 minutes of the discussion (metaphorically speaking). Liz 00:15, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Fails WP:NSPORTSEVENT, which states that regular season games should have a lasting impact on the sport and garner news coverage outside the week of their occurrence. Neither criteria is met here, and the game is covered in detail on the 2021 season pages of both the Raiders and Chargers; redirecting to one of those is not an option because neither is a better target than the other. That said, I wouldn't object to a redirect if there's another option I didn't think of. Hatman31 (talk) 00:31, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

@Esolo5002: Much of what you wrote could be incorporated into the team/season articles. Cbl62 (talk) 01:25, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
Keep. Game was very notable due to the circumstances; is considered one of the greatest football games ever played because of its tumultuous proceedings, and has a lasting legacy. Very notable to many, plus there are similar cases described in see also. Article is well sourced and in great quality. If we can't keep it, alternatively redirect to Chargers-Raiders rivalry. That is a plausible merge target; and even if consensus says delete, redirecting to a viable target is preferred if possible, and this is such a case. @Hatman31: Would that be a good redirect target for you? DrewieStewie (talk) 02:25, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
The rivalry page would be a much better target for a redirect than either of the season pages. Hatman31 (talk) 14:41, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
