1992 FA Cup Semi Final Portsmouth vs Liverpool[edit]

Article on an FA Cup semi final with nothing to distingush it from any other match, except the fact that it was the first semi-final to go to penalties. If not outright deletion, I would suggest at least a merge to FA Cup 1991-92. пﮟოьεԻ 5 7 10:40, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it should be merged — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr Hall of England (talk • contribs)

Merge. The fact that it was settled on penalties is notable but too short for its own article. Dpmuk (talk) 12:30, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I really don't think the fact that it was settled on penalties makes it notable at all, hundreds of matches have been settled on penalties, they aren't all notable for that reason alone -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:20, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- True but penalty shoot outs did not occur in the FA cup for a longer time (until 1991/2) so their first use in a game as important as the semi-final is just noticable although it should be no more than a one liner in the main article for that year. Dpmuk (talk) 12:30, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not notable enough for a standalone article. Don't merge, other articles on individual seasons of the FA Cup do not have single matches reported in this much detail -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:22, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- By merge I meant just the fact that it was settled on penalties (so a one liner). I'd agree that it needs no where near as much detail as there is in this article. Dpmuk (talk) 12:30, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the penalties thing is a barely-notable fact, so perhaps could be mentioned in the article for FA Cup 1991-92, but even then it probably wouldn't even attain the level of "pub-quiz question". Seeing as the latter article is very poor, and could do with expansion, I'd recommend a Request for Expansion on that, and most of the FA Cup articles before 1992-93. --El Pollo Diablo (Talk) 12:53, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Giant Snowman 16:12, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete game is not any more significant than any other semi-final. --Jimbo^[online] 16:36, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. This game is important because it was the first of two semis to have shootouts and this article should stay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr Hall of England (talk • contribs)
- Yes, you've already said so. Please don't comment twice on debates. Thanks, пﮟოьεԻ 5 7 21:19, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't think it's noteworthy enough to have its own article. On the other hand, Yeep! at the wretched FA Cup 1991-92 article. I'm probably going to try fixing that up. Vickser (talk) 23:46, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Totally non-notable despite the historical value for the penalty shoot out. Though I'd go along with Vickser's suggestion and move some of the info, including it being the first penalty shootout, to the FA Cup 1991-92 article. Peanut4 (talk) 00:24, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and expand FA Cup 1991-92 article. Is the opening paragraph typical of the standards of English Grammar taught at school nowadays? Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 05:59, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
