QPR vs Manchester City[edit]

Not a notable football match on its own; the only refs are contemporaneous match coverage. The title isn't one that can reasonable redirect to 2011-12 Premier League. power~enwiki (π, ν) 20:43, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is a notable game for Manchester City's season that's why it's mentioned on 2011–12 Manchester City F.C. season article. I don't think this game merits an article on it's own. Govvy (talk) 14:08, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment While I would incline towards delete, the game was notable in that it changed the outcome of the season in much the same was as the 1989 Liverpool Arsenal match which has its own article. It could be said the Joey Barton incident was rather significant, although the article as it stands does not really cover this.. However for the article to be kept I think more would need to be done to show its long term impact (eg I have seen a couple of TV programmes mention this as one of the most significant and memorable games since the Premiership started and if print references could be found which have made similar comments then an argument for keep could be made), as well as more background about the significance on the day (eg reference to Manchester United winning a few minutes earlier and Manchester United players waiting on the pitch to see if they had won the title).

Comment - if by any chance the article is kept, the awful title needs changing, given that QPR have played Man City over 50 times -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:35, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- I would agree with that, not least as the home teams name should always come first. The 1989 title decider's article is Liverpool F.C. 0–2 Arsenal F.C. (26 May 1989) so a varient on Manchester City 3-2 QPR (13 May 2012), would seem like an option. Dunarc (talk) 14:49, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
