Argentina v England (2005)

Article about friendly match between Argentina national football team and England national football team seams to me not important enough to have its own article. The match was just a friendly match with no special incidents. Mariano(t/c) 09:22, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, sporting event with an audience of millions of people. Kappa 11:32, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merge...I'm not sure where. Professional sports events happen every day, usually several a day in different places in the world. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 11:45, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep England v Argentina is not an average friendly (and it was a great match). Can't sensibly be merged. CalJW 12:10, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I admit ignorance of the game itself (other than what the article says); how do you mean that it wasn't an average game? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 12:12, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Presumedly because England won for a change! -- Francs 2000 12:42, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - England and Argentina have a rivalry dating back to the Hand of God goal at the 1986 World Cup and spanning some key games since. Argentina are one of England's two biggest footballing rivals alongside Germany, and the something similar may well apply the other way round, with Brazil taking the place of Germany. Both countries are in the top 10 in the FIFA World Rankings. CalJW 16:47, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - I don't suppose there's an article about this rivalry? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 16:56, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into the respective team articles. PJM 12:55, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or fail that merge per above. Individual games are not encyclopedic, even if they inspire tremendous passion in fans. Dottore So 13:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Argentina national team and England national team. Simple enough. Sam Vimes 14:15, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Too detailed for main articles. Carina22 15:37, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The nominator didn't disclose that he is a national of the losing country. CalJW 16:47, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - of transient interest. Nobody is going to want to read this match report in even a month's time. Individual sports matches shouldn't have entries of their own unless they are really significant (e.g. World Cup finals). --ajn (talk) 17:15, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as of ajn. -- Elisson • Talk 17:21, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
