Second nomination of this article, the first reached no consensus. Per the discussion on the talk page, the match is not notable enough to have a standalone page. The match is remembered for what happened in the tunnel, but Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira have had previous confrontations pre-match as seen in the talk page. Furthermore, the match is not known as 'Trouble in the Tunnel', this is WP:RECENTISM. Pizzagate and Battle of Old Trafford were notable because of events that happened on the pitch and the consequences to both teams' seasons. This 2005 game is not significant enough to have a standalone article, but by all means have it fleshed out in the rivalry page. Footballistically (talk) 13:23, 16 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete - Many people in the previous discussion believed that this subject had sufficient coverage to warrant an article based on the sources provided; however, those sources mostly referred to the match from the previous year, not this one. This match is only remembered for the incident in the tunnel beforehand, not any of the action that happened on the pitch (nothing more than routine coverage of any Premier League match), so the incident should be mentioned on Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira's articles and that's it. – Pee Jay 13:44, 16 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
