Contested PROD. PROD tag and "prod-2" tag were removed without reason. Original reason for PROD was: "The Ebola epidemic and it's affect on association football may not warrant a separate article. Ebola affected many events, not just football. Instead, we can merge what little information we have into their respective articles, Africa Cup of Nations, Club World Cup, Football in Sierra Leone and maybe touch on it a bit in Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa as well." In agreement with the original proposal, I will add that Ebola's effect on football is not particularly special, nor is there any particular correlation between the rapid outbreak of the disease in 2014 and the sport. – PeeJay 16:30, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - per Lugnuts, an unnecessary fork, no indication that there has been any significant discussion of ebola in the context of african football as a subject in and of itself. Fenix down (talk) 10:15, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
