Just WP:ROUTINE and WP:NOTINHERITED coverage; fails WP:SIGCOV. Vestrian24Bio 03:32, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete Fails WP:SPORTSEVENT. WP:NOTINHERITED applies to people not sports events. LibStar (talk) 07:43, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I believe it passes the WP:SPORTSEVENT definition of "games should be extraordinary and have a lasting impact on the sport; news coverage should be extensive". It is one of just four Test matches (out of 2580) in which a team has followed on and won. Australia have never rarely enforced the follow on since and most sides avoid it now which shows it's lasting impact. The match has historic significance and is still referred to years later (a, b, c, d, e) which is not typical of any Test match and goes well beyond routine coverage.

  • Keep change vote to keep based on Jpeeeling's argument above. As a side point, Australia did the rare thing and enforced follow on recently against Sri Lanka. [1] LibStar (talk) 13:50, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep not sure what sort of BEFORE search you did, but this game is constantly referred to in ongoing coverage of other games. Any search of combinations of Kolkata Australia India Follow on finds many examples. The-Pope (talk) 02:20, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep 2000-01 series game has long lasting substantial coverage (albeit not with this article name, but searching e.g. "India win after following on". 2007-08 series is less notable but these nominations should not be bundled together, as they're not just the same.

  • Keep Article is of historical importance as well as having significant coverage under different headings. More importantly, i have watched the series and can understand it’s importance. It do have significant covera. Rahmatula786 (talk) 12:00, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Yet another nomination without following WP:BEFORE. Even a basic Google search brings up tons of coverage [2] [3] [4] [5] demonstrating the WP:LASTING significance of this match. Yuvaank (talk) 05:40, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment It's not entirely clear that Second Test, 2007–08 Border–Gavaskar Trophy is bundled with this nomination. Perhaps it needs its own AfD. LibStar (talk) 05:43, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep : Seeing the historical importance of the article and plenty of google searches related to the subject adds to the notability. Good coverage found. Gauravs 51 (talk) 11:54, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
