Because the match is not that importantPeacefulJarl379 (talk) 00:23, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This match is in fact one of the most famous football matches to be ever played, due to both the rivalry and the historical circumstances surrounding the relations between the two countries and the on-field play. This match had two of the most famous goals ever scored in football matches.

Keep and close. "Because the match is not that important" - so what policy does this not meet? Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 07:01, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural keep - No valid reason given for deletion. Appears to be a POV (WP:NPOV) nomination. VMS Mosaic (talk) 07:52, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - a very high profile game due to the controversy surrounding it. No proper rationale for deletion. Bladeboy1889 (talk) 07:54, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as clearly notable per WP:GNG. Could perhaps do with a rename, but that is a matter for the article talk page. Giant Snowman 11:50, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I do not follow the sport, and even I am well aware of the Hand of God goal. An immensely famous World Cup match. 209.90.140.72 (talk) 19:30, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
