The result was merge to Florida–LSU football rivalry. Information about the football game can be added to the 2007 Florida Gators football team and the 2007 LSU Tigers football team articles too. (non-admin closure) Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 15:52, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Primetime Drama[edit]

I propose to Merge the essential facts of this article to a single paragraph summary within the existing Florida–LSU football rivalry article. Per WP:SPORTSEVENT, "[r]egular season games in professional and college leagues are not inherently notable." Therefore, such events must satisfy the general notability standards per WP:GNG. While this article is largely unsourced, there were numerous day-after game articles written about the 2007 LSU-UF football game, as there are about all Division I football games, but there is no indication in the college football literature that this was a truly notable standout regular season game whose contemporary coverage exceeded WP:ROUTINE. From a policy standpoint, Wikipedia does not need a proliferation of long-winded, thinly sourced articles about individual college football games of marginal notability -- that's why Wikiproject College football has actively encouraged the development of college football rivalry articles that aggregate the collective history of CFB rivalry series and provide brief summaries of the most notable games in the series.

Merge per Dirtlawyer1's arguments to Florida–LSU football rivalry, 2007 Florida Gators football team, and 2007 LSU Tigers football team. Jweiss11 (talk) 03:57, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge & delete per Dirtlawyer1. At the very least, the article name must be changed, as anyone who searches for that title is much more likely to be looking for an article about a certain genre of television show than a college football game. Zeng8r (talk) 12:31, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This was a very exciting game as Jacob Hester scored a touchdown with 1:09 left to give LSU the lead and then Tim Tebow got the ball across midfield and he had time for a 45-yd hail mary which fell incomplete giving LSU a 28-24 win over Florida.

Comment That this was a " very exciting game" is not a valid argument. Jweiss11 (talk) 12:34, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
