Only editor of this page doesn't want it to be a redirect, despite clear consensus that it should be (see the talk page). So, to make everyone happy and turn this into a win-win situation, and let's just simply delete this once and for all. Not a notable game, the cup final from a country with less than 50,000 people, the winner has never made any impact abroad or received any significant non-local attention. We have a general article on the Faroe Islands Cup, which is more than sufficient. Fram (talk) 14:55, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is the Department of Deletions. It seems there is consensus for converting to a redirest so please just do it. Whether it should be kept, merged, or redirected should be discussed and decided at the talk page (with informed Wikiproject involvement), not here. I see no requirement for a red link (nor does anyone else?). Thincat (talk) 16:31, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- It was done. Repeatedly. Other editor can't seem to accept a redirect though... Fram (talk) 16:35, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per the consensus and get the editor blocked for WP:DE. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 17:49, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - per consensus. Apart from the obvious WP:NOTSTATS issues of the article in its current state, comments above that this is one of the more minor national cups is relevant. there is nothing in this article that could not (and should not) be reproduced verbatim in the season's Cup article. Unless substantial sourced prose can be created this is a completely unnecessary fork. Fenix down (talk) 10:23, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I don't see what purpose a redirect would serve? Giant Snowman 12:31, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Comment - Not sure why this has been relisted, the discussion at WP:FOOTY had three people desiring a redirect (with one unsupported claim to notability) and this discussion has two additional editors desiring a redirect. No editor has made any sustainable argument against this position. Fenix down (talk) 10:11, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Relisting comment: Only one participant at the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 86#Should the 2014 Cup Final have its own article? (User:Fram) was for a straight redirect. User:Koppapa essentially suggested a selective merge, and User:GiantSnowman was for a merge and redirect, but has !voted here for deletion. Additionally, at that discussion, another user (User:Walter Görlitz) appears to suggest that the article should be retained. Consensus for a redirect is not as sharp as stated in the comment directly above.
