Under the Lights II

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WikiProject College football has a long-standing policy that stand-alone articles for regular season college football games should exist only in cases where the game was of great significance to the history of college football. This doesn't cut it yet and likely won't even when it is played. Content should be merged into 2013 Michigan Wolverines football team and 2013 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team.

Merge to Michigan–Notre Dame football rivalry and/or 2013 Michigan Wolverines football team and 2013 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team. Please note that Wikiprojects, including the College Football Wikiproject, do not enact Wikipedia policies on their own accord as is suggested by the nominating editor, and as such, citing a Wikiproject "policy" is not a legitimate rationale for nominating this article for deletion, particularly since any one article can fall within the dominion of multiple Wikiprojects. The Notability of this nominated article should be judged on its own accord by exising Wikipedia-wide policies and guidelines. That said, I believe this article does not meet notability guidelines as the sourced citations in the article represent no more than routine coverage of a sports per WP:EVENT.

Merge Non-notable game. Merge to 2013 Michigan Wolverines football team and 2013 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team. — X96lee15 (talk) 14:43, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge "The second night game at Michigan Stadium" has less of an argument for notability than the first one does. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:47, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to 2013 Michigan Wolverines football team. Take a look at some of the other individual college football games that have their own individual Wikipedia article. The First Game, App St.–Michigan, First TV Game, Cumberland–Georgia Tech, "The Play." All of them extremely important, significant, and iconic moments in the history of college football, not just in the history of one individual program or stadium. If this were the first college football night game ever played, I would be willing to accept it as it's own individual article. But, it's not, and it's not even close. I would also add that if the results of the game itself are judged to be extremely important in the context of the Michigan–Notre Dame rivalry, a merge to Michigan–Notre Dame football rivalry could also be in order. But, do we really need a new Wikipedia article written every time a night game is played at Michigan Stadium? Ejgreen77 (talk) 17:43, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per CrazyPaco. Under the Lights II is a marketing gimmick to sell the game. Tedmoseby (talk) 05:11, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
