Not a notable football game. A promotional gimmick in the TV coverage (and references to such in the WP:MILL coverage of the game) doesn't make it notable. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:50, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Lacks notability per WP:MILL. PAVA11 (talk) 13:49, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The Muppets are very notable and their appearance on MNF is notable as seen per the coverage it received from notable sources.Pennsylvania2 (talk) 22:10, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There are 8 sources. Three are strictly recaps from notable sources with only passing or no mention of The Muppets. Are Awful Announcing, Primetimer, and Draft Kings notable sources? That's maybe a stretch, and certainly don't establish the game as inherently notable. PAVA11 (talk) 02:34, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

keep yeah it's silly. Yeah it's goofy. Is it a game? Is it a gimmick? Doesn't matter because it passes WP:GNG with significant coverage.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:38, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How do those sources exceed WP:MILL? There are a few sources from niche-type sites that specifically discuss the event outside of the context of routine sports coverage, but these aren't particularly notable sources. PAVA11 (talk) 13:53, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Definitely a silly event, but also definitely an event. Also quite notable for the massive upset that occurred.--Mike Selinker (talk) 06:36, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
