Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2019 AFC Championship Game

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to 2018–19 NFL playoffs. There's a consensus here that the content is about the 2020 game and so the article is mis-titled, and that the best solution is to redirect to the article where the title topic is actually covered. One !voter suggested the redirect could alternatively be to the specific section of the target discussing the 2019 championship game, but no others commented on that suggestion; discussion on that could continue at a relevant talk page, if desired by the participants.

PROD removed by creator, other championship games created by the same user were moved to draft space by a different NPP patroller. This game is already adequately covered at 2018–19 NFL playoffs, and it appears we only spin out standalone articles for playoff games if they're notable for some other reason (Music City Miracle).

Redirect to 2018–19 NFL playoffs or, more precisely, 2018–19 NFL playoffs#AFC: New England Patriots 37, Kansas City Chiefs 31 (OT). Since it's a logical search term, a redirect makes more sense than an outright delete. Cbl62 (talk) 22:03, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be fine with a redirect as well. SportingFlyer T·C 22:07, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect looks good to me.Balle010 (talk) 04:45, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It appears that this article is actually mis-titled. The content of this article appears to actually be about the 2020 AFC Championship Game, played on January 19, 2020, in Kansas City, Missouri between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tennessee Titans. Not sure if that changes anything here, just thought I'd bring it up. Ejgreen77 (talk) 05:47, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. If we were concerned with the content, then the redirect target would be 2019–20 NFL playoffs, but given the title I think the redirect should remain as noted above. Cbl62 (talk) 06:17, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to 2018–19 NFL playoffs. Regardless of the content, the title should refer to the 2019 match. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 18:47, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect seems to be the best solution operationally.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:43, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
